What you’re looking at

This is primarily a **text-based issue** with no visible political cartoons on this page. The content consists mainly of: - **Removal notice**: The Wasp's editorial offices relocated from Clay Street to California Street - **Grant in Europe**: A satirical article attacking former President Ulysses S. Grant's tour of Europe, mocking his military reputation and suggesting he lacks intellectual substance ("goose grease, olive oil, or an Ell barrel") - **Local San Francisco politics**: Multiple articles about municipal races, police prizes, and court competitions - **Horse racing coverage**: Details about metropolitan stakes races The Grant section appears most satirically pointed—characterizing him as unworthy of honor despite his fame, implying wealth and connections matter more than actual accomplishment.
