What you’re looking at

This page appears to be text only, without visible cartoons or illustrations. It describes a violent scene where someone named **Burnham** physically attacks an unnamed person ("by the scruff of the neck and thrashed him soundly"), while **Stanton** and **Kitty Trimmer** stand watching. During the beating, Burnham vents his opinions about Stanton and Trimmer. Without seeing the accompanying illustration or knowing the specific historical context and date of this *Wasp* issue, it's unclear who these figures represent or what local/national scandal or political dispute this satirizes. The passage suggests a conflict between these named individuals, likely meant to ridicule or criticize them.
