What you’re looking at
This page contains political commentary rather than traditional cartoons. The main illustrated piece, captioned "An Object," depicts a poodle and monkey in conversation about clothing and fashion—likely satirizing human vanity or class pretension through animal characters. The text sections address serious political issues: Governor Taylor of Kentucky's removal from office (called a "crime" against democracy), Senator Hill's political maneuvering regarding Stanchfield's nomination, and Chinese expansion as a military threat. A substantial article criticizes coal industry autocrats for refusing labor dignity and fair negotiation, arguing capitalists and workers should respect each other as equal partners rather than master and slave. The overall tone is progressive-leaning, attacking political corruption, imperialism, and labor exploitation while defending democratic principles.

They are unanswerable. eee THE ARMIES of the powers must stay in China until those murders of foreigners are partially atoned for and the heads of at least some of the murderers are off. There is no other way.

EPWARD ATKINSON denounces McKinley as a land- robber, and Bryan as a receiver of stolen goods. We see how it is, It has finally occurred to him that Edward Atkinson is the only man who can be trusted, and he will € organize himself and wheel into line for Edward. And what will this world do when Edward dies and some later Dio- genes lights his lantern? THE GREAT KENTUCKY CRIME. HAVING DRIVEN Governor Taylor of Kentucky out of office by a succession of crimes, the Democracy of this country find a certain satisfaction in referring to him as a criminal. That is insult added to injury which must be submitted to as gracefully as possible; but no wise Democrat will call up that case any oftener than he can help. It was as high a crime against the ballot-box and our system of government as ‘was ever perpetrated. A HILL VICTORY. ‘THE PERSONAL ORGAN of Senator Hill, the Elmira Gazette, claims the nomination of Stanchfield as a Hill victory, as the JUDGE has _ suggested. “The firm adherence of Hill to Coler,” it says, “was the best strategy in that it forced the nomination of the candidate most agreeable to the party at large. The astuteness of ex-Senator Hill finds another demonstration.” Of course, if the ex-senator had openly supported Stanchfield he would have been beaten out of sight. THE DRAGON AS A DEVIL, HERE ARE four hundred million Chinese, and they propose, accord- ing to a recent writer, to make war against the world with the pur- pose of expansion of their power and territory. The war should begin on the other side, and the way to it should be the peaceful one of partition of the territory as it now exists. The dragon means nothing good in any direction. It believes in murder and outrage and has only hatred for whatever is good. Its religion is crime. Its faith is in barbarism, not fit to live. ‘There can be no lasting peace until it is dead. It is THE AUTOCRATS OF COAL. S-THERE DIGNITY in labor? Why should capital refuse to confer with the representatives of it? The workers greatly outnumber the capitalists, and are therefore entitled esq to at least as much respect as they claim for themselves. The conferences asked for and refused are intended to ff work for peace and the prosperity of all concerned. The QPAIG two classes are partners in business, and business requires mutual respect and confidence. Why is capital better than labor? Up- on what meat has this insensate mon- ster fed that it has grown so great? What sacrifice of dignity and exclu- siveness is neces- sary to a counseling having for its pur- pose the good of the entire country as well as of those im- mediately interest- ed? Justice calls for fair play and the employer refuses to consider it. Mercy calls for a careful consideration of plans for peace against the immi- nent danger of war, and these autocrats of capital say there shall be no such thing. It is mon- strous. It is sen- tence without trial.
