Aplanarea conflictului maiorescu-haret ("appeasement in the maiorescu-haret conflict"), cartoon published in furnica magazine. Romanian king carol i makes senior conservative politician, and literato, a sash of the order of carol i. Newspapers speculated that this was a compensation for maiorescu's loss of prestige: feeling insulted by the national liberal spiru haret, the education minister, maiorescu resigned his position at the university of bucharest. In this satirical image, maiorescu is not especially pleased by the award: he gets colanul ("the sash"), but haret (pictured on the right, in the king's shadow) still has ciolanul (lit. "the bone"; fig. "the spoils of power"). Date: 3 December 1909.
