Judge — August 4, 1894
# "Bounced!" — Judge Magazine, August 4, 1894 This cartoon satirizes Monsignor Satolli, described in the caption as an "apostolic delegate" who made a decision regarding Bishop Waterson's action expelling saloon-keepers from Catholic societies and refusing absolution to liquor-sellers. The figure, dressed formally with a top hat, is depicted as literally "bounced" out of an ornate church doorway—shown sitting on a barrel labeled "RUM" surrounded by scattered papers. The visual pun suggests Satolli himself has been ejected or discredited by his ruling. The satire critiques either Satolli's decision or his authority, likely commenting on temperance debates within the Catholic Church during the 1890s. The cartoon's sympathies appear to favor Bishop Waterson's strict anti-alcohol stance.
# Political Satire from Judge Magazine This page contains editorial commentary and one political cartoon titled "SQUEEZED IN WALL STREET." The cartoon depicts a figure at a desk being confronted by what appears to be a burglar or criminal demanding money, illustrating the article "THE MEANNESS OF PROTECTION" — likely critiquing tariff policies that "protected" American industries while allegedly squeezing consumers and workers. The editorial snippets mock various political figures and policies: Democratic vulnerabilities, President Theodore Roosevelt's vigor, George Gould's wealth, and labor union declarations of martial law. References to McKinley Democrats and F.V. Debs suggest this dates to the early 1900s. The overall tone is Republican-leaning satirical commentary on Democratic and labor movement politics of that era.
