What you’re looking at

This is primarily a title/contents page rather than a satirical cartoon page. The masthead features The Wasp's characteristic wasp logo and publication information (NO. 27 Main Street, San Francisco). The page contains two main articles: "Politics in the School Board" criticizes Republican political interference in San Francisco's education system, specifically attacking efforts by figures like Martin Kelly and others to control board appointments through patronage. The second article, "State Prison Affairs," discusses management changes under incoming Director I.C. Stump and defends outgoing General McComb's record managing the state prison. Both pieces attack political corruption and cronyism in California institutions.
