What you’re looking at

The central cartoon depicts a street scene with well-dressed figures in top hats encountering a woman in distress. The caption reads: "Casey—'I was very much shocked at parting to hear so Clancey's sudden death. He owed me tin cents.' Corrigan—'Faith, sure betterment was nothing but a noise moine. He owed me seventy-five.'" The satire mocks working-class Irish characters (suggested by names like Casey and Corrigan) whose primary grief over a death centers on unpaid debts rather than genuine mourning. It's a stereotype-based joke about Irish immigrants' financial circumstances and materialism, reflecting period prejudices common in American satirical publications. The humor depends on ethnic caricature.

GERONIMO has not gone insane, as reported; he is mere- ly going to marry. Probably, therefore. it is the woman who has gone there. SENATOR STEWART is as earnest for McKinley as he is fierce against Bryan. The senator always pays full fare and never stops half way. LAMENTABLE IGNORANCE. SOME NEGRO WOMEN in convention in Chicago resolve that states given to lynch law ought to be expelled from the union. The right to expel is equally as unconstitutional as F= the right to secede, and these ladies ought to be expelled from something because of their igno- UPAIE rance of the important fact. ADLAI AS A POP. HERE IS NOTHING in populism so radical, says the Utica Observer, that Adlai E. Stevenson doesn’t indorse it—state ownership of rail- roads and all the rest of the foolishness. The Observer supports Mr. Bryan, but it believes in the truth whether it hurts or helps; and Mr. Ste- venson is as pleased with the populist nomination for the second place as if he had been to the party born. WHERE‘ LABOR FAILS. S*(CHINESE WOMEN.” says Madame Wu, “are wise. They do not spend time making their hair crooked on irons.” A contemporary is affected to tears by this quo- tation, evidently not expecting wisdom from so-called barba- rians; but if the madame might show an equal absence of labor in behalf of the opposite extremities of the Chinese wo- man we should be far more impressed. THE SHIRT-WAIST IN BRIEF. COMFoRT DEMANDS the expulsion of the vest, or waistcoat, in hot + weather, and this makes the existence of a comely shirt-waist, or shirt, not only allowable but unavoidable. Because, however, a man or a woman may exhibit a garment of that kind it by no means follows that the gar- ment may be worn when soiled, any more than it ever has been; the cus- tom must necessarily contribute to its comeliness and cleanliness. That is all there is to the shirt-waist question, and the garment will be more and more conspicuously worn in all hot weather hereafter. But it must never, never become a favorite for breakfast or funereal purposes, GORDON AND PEACE, ONE OF THE PURPOSES of war is finally to have peace, and General John B. Gordon thinks there comes a time when, various war questions having been settled, peace is excusable, even with as much good-fellowship as a decently vociferous hilarity will permit. Certain southerners have ob- L0G jected to reunions of the blue and the gray together, and ad- iri dressed their objections to General Gordon as the head of the southern brethren. General Gordon replies at length, saying that he must continue Pall NEWSPA- S are power- ful; but it looks as if Wilhelmina wouldnt marry until she got good and ready, no matter how many hus- bands they find for her.

Whatever T ean do, will assuredly be done for the truth of history, for justice to the south and to all sec- tions, for fostering our cher- ished memories, for the ob- literation of all sectiozal bitterness, and for the set- tlement of all sectional con- troversies on a basis con- sistent with the honor and the manhood and the self- respect of all.” It is both manly and sensible to accept a result which in any event it is impossible | to change; and we are sure that ninety-nine out of every hundred fighting soldiers, north and south, will accept General Gordon's He owed me tin gints."
