This page contains editorial commentary and a political cartoon titled "His Preference." The editorials critique Democratic Party politics, mentioning Bryan and Hill (likely William Jennings Bryan and David B. Hill, prominent 1890s Democrats), discussing party harmony and campaign strategy. The main cartoon depicts a street scene where a beggar appears to be choosing between begging on the streets versus attending a church fair or puppet show. The caption suggests the character prefers street begging. The satire likely critiques public choices or political preferences of the era, though the exact referent is unclear without additional context. The image uses caricature and social commentary typical of Judge's satirical approach to contemporary American politics and society.

The king-bird swings upon the wind-rocked reed Whose lisping lyric ripples night and morn; And sounds across the hill the dinner-horn, While on the amber bobs the crystal bead. The wingless bug now climbs the stringless bean, The locust grinds his rasping melody; The golden-rod’s fair glim there’s naught can douse, ‘ The tree-toad’s plea for rain is heard, and Jean, Gazing upon the twinkling turquoise sea, Gowned for a dip, runs screaming for the house. AN ETHIOPIAN PHILOSOPHER puts an ancient truth in a new form, which should be popular at this season, when he remarks that even the seeds of the watermelon are numbered. [TIS BELIEVED that Tom Reed is now considering the plans and speci- fications of a boom which will be an entirely new thing in booms, inas- much as it is said that it will be boomless and warranted moth and rust proof. R. CROKER appears to be the peerless pearl of the well-typhoided oyster of machine politics. é THE MAN who smokes five-cent cizars not wisely but too often may in the end become a victim of cabbage-heart. , THE HARMONY that prevails at the average Democratic harmony din- ner is decidedly of a homeopathic character. HAT the Democratic party ought to do is to go into the circus trust that is now said to be in course of formation. EACH PARTY might do a good business if it would but open a shop to be devoted entirely to the mending and revamping of busted booms. JN JUGGLING Bryan and Hill itis not so much a question of which is the greater of the two statesmen as of which is the lesser of the two evils. THERE SHOULD be a large and juicy fortune for the man who will embark in the business of canning predigested crow for Democratic tables. LTHOUGH the mercury is climbing so hard that there is no room at the top, it is still safe to say that the Democratic outlook is practically snowed under, ILL is to open the campaign and his mouth in Illinois, and his many friends and admirers seem to indulge the fond hope that he will not put his foot in either. wie 8 [F THE sky-high price of beef continues much longer the brindled bull done in. bronze may supplant the reindeer and the greyhound as the most popular lawn ornaments. WHEN ‘the politician supplants the statesman and patriot it means to the thinking man a state of affairs that might be appropriately called the Barnumization of Americanism. L!TTLEFIELD of Maine is what might be called an all-round down- eastern potentate of sagacity and wisdom. While he is on deck for business there can be'no such thing as an effete down east. ee [F ROYALTY were but as self-sustaining as it is self-sufficient there might be a faint shadow of an excuse for its wonderful and thunderful importance, which savors of the grandeur peculiar to the comic-opera stage.
