Caption:

UNCLE SAM'S EYES OPEN AT LAST.
Smiler — : “I am an honest man. If Nesbitt were here, he'd say so. I never took anything that wasn't given to me.”   Uncle Sam: “Jes' so! jes' so! You took all you could git; but you perjured yourself by saying you got nothing. Commit hari-kari.”   Schurz: “The old man has found them out; but he wouldn't believe us, when we told him, last Summer.”
(When the Japanese condemn a man to hari-kari the victim's best friend stands by to finish the work.)
