The cartoon was inspired by a feud that erupted between New York City police officials and the Reverend Charles Parkhurst. One Sunday in February 1892, Parkhurst gave a sermon from his Madison Square Presbyterian Church on the corruption and graft within the police department. He charged police officials with accepting money in turn for promotions, and demanding fees from saloons, prostitution houses, and pool halls, for protection from arrest. The sermon, later made public in The World, a New York newspaper, provoked outrage within the community.
Published in: The New York Gazette, April 17, 1892.
