What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **administrative and advertising content** rather than satirical cartoons. The masthead announces *The Wasp* publication details and subscription rates for San Francisco delivery. The right column contains a substantial article titled "Grand Jury's Work," praising the recent Grand Jury's integrity while criticizing Street Superintendent Hagan's management of city contractors and public works. The piece attacks Hagan as "the most incompetent man" and suggests corruption in contractor dealings. The left column discusses the paper's shift from Post Office to carrier delivery due to the postal system's inefficiency with Saturday distribution. The bottom section advertises **S. Kohlman's store** at 761 Market Street, listing furniture and household goods. No significant political cartoons or satirical illustrations are visible on this page.
