Canada, represented as a demurelittle maiden, stands just behind Hawaii, an interested specta-tor, apparently more than half inclined to follow his much the same spirit was a design that appeared in theWasp, representing Uncle Sam in the character of St. Peter,holding the key to Americas political paradise. Poorlittle imp, he is saying to the Hawaiian applicant, I dontsee why I should shut you out, when Ive let in all the trampsof the world already. Another cartoon which appeared in 322 CENTURY IN CARICATURE. THE END OF THE CHILIAN Judge. Judge was entitled, The Champion Masher of the Uni-verse. This represents Hawaii under the form of a duskybut comely damsel, being borne off complacently by agorgeously attired Uncle Sam, while his discomfited rivalsare looking on in chagrin and disgust. These rivals areEngland, under the form of John Bull; France, shown underthe features of President Sadi Carnot; Germany, the Em-peror William; and Italy, King Humbert. This cartoonwas drawn by Gillam. The Toronto Grip saw the matter in quite a differentaspect.
