What you’re looking at
This page contains editorial commentary and a satirical cartoon titled "A Jewel." The main cartoon depicts two women viewing what appears to be a vacant lot or construction site with debris, commenting on Mrs. Delap's preference for her second husband over her first—apparently because the second one is "in jail so much she has nearly all the same for herself." The joke satirizes marriages where one spouse's imprisonment becomes convenient for the other's independence and financial control. The accompanying text discusses various political topics including David Bennett Hill, Democratic tariff debates, and Boston's "mysterious sausage" terminology. The page reflects late 19th-century American political satire and domestic humor typical of Judge magazine's satirical commentary on contemporary society and politics.

HE SELF-RESPECTING and ambitious wolf of to-day sits only at the door of the rich man. NOVEMBER is the moon in which the stuffing is divided between the turkey and the ballot-box. Davia BENNETT HILL really imagines that he is not out of the presidential race. Is Uncle David a Christian scientist? eee OSTON no longer uses the phrase, * mysterious sausage,” one of her brightest savants having pronounced it a tautological term. ‘THE Tammany drink that is known as a horn Is measured, oh, ne’er, with the finger of scorn, A NEW WAY of putting the ancient sky-rocket aphorism is to say of anything ephemeral that it goes up like the circulation of a novel and comes down like the author’s royalties. H'c# PRICES indicate prosperity, according to the arguments set forth by a certain New England sociologist. This is certainly true, and can be proved conclusively by the prosperity of the man who sells Boston terriers to the unthinking for from five hundred to a thousand dollars per Pup. es WE FREQUENTLY hear of the king of beasts and of the queen of table-waters. But it will be a long time before any one will hear of the vice-president of mixed pickles, or the vice-president of anything else for that matter. We might go further and give it as an honest, unbiased opinion that a vice-presidential press-agent is almost as much of a rarity as is a vice-presidential possibility. THE DEMOCRATS are again sounding their gong on the threadbare subject of tariff revision, which pounding on the gong is about as dulcet a sample of Democratic harmony as we have heard for a long time. If the Democratic party knew as much about the tariff as it knows about the down-grade it is quite likely that it would be given the difficult job of settling forever and a day this much-vexed and momentous question. A DICKENS CENTENARY having been promised in the course of a few years, would it not bea good idea, with a view to making it a complete success, to depart from the stereotyped rules of such an occasion to introduce something in the style of a Greek chorus, to be sung by that great body of literary men each of whom has been called the American Dickens? It might require an extra large stage, but, if there is anything in novelty, it would certainly pay.
