What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **text articles rather than illustrated cartoons**. The main pieces include: 1. **"A Disgrace to Civilization"** – condemns San Francisco's Morgue on Market Street as a shameful public institution, describing it as filthy, disorganized, and staffed incompetently. The satire targets municipal negligence. 2. **"Bound to Come Sooner or Later"** – discusses Turkish-Russian conflicts and European diplomacy, appearing to satirize political hypocrisy. 3. **"Ended in a Bottle of Smoke"** – reports on the Hayes affair at the Police Court, apparently mocking judicial proceedings. The remaining sections advertise *The Wasp* itself and discuss editorial policies on advertising. **No significant political figures or caricatures are visible** in the image portion provided.
