Description: Cartoon from the reactionary Zingari newspaper, attacking John Molteno and Saul Solomon as "responsible government" owls presiding over the Cape. The cheese of the Cape government is shown being divided between the various factions by Moltenos resolution. The factions, as mice, are radical Distin who is being fed to the cat Watermeyer (Molteno's Afrikaner henchman); Northerner David Tennant who is given the Speakership; pro-British Bowker given compensation and easterner Goold given East London Harbour Works.
