Summary[edit]

Description
English: Title: "Take the next car!"

Abstract: Illustration shows a street railroad car labeled "Republican Protection Line" and "Congress 47" with a crowd of men standing on the rear platform, among them is the conductor labeled "Keifer" and Frank "Hiscock". Uncle Sam, holding a basket with papers labeled "Silver Problem, Pension Reform, Our Navy, Civil Service, [and] Int. Revenue Reform", is standing beside the tracks, shaking his umbrella at the passing car as Keifer tells him to "take the next car"; with Sam are a young child labeled "Anti-Monopoly" and Columbia as a young woman holding an infant labeled "Tariff Reform". The next car on the tracks is labeled "Democratic Puzzle-Line" and "48", it is being pulled by a tired looking donkey.

Notes: Cartoonist is suggesting that Republican controlled 47th Congress is neglecting important issues, which may result in the next Congress, the 48th, being under Democratic Party control. (The House in the 48th Congress did switch to Democratic control, while the Senate was Republican.)
