What you’re looking at

This is primarily a text-heavy editorial page rather than a cartoon page. The masthead shows *The Wasp*'s logo, and the page contains several opinion pieces on local San Francisco politics. The main articles discuss: - **"Local Self Government"**: criticizing the Daily Fire bill and praising the Police Department's independence from City Hall corruption - **"The Sack in Sacramento"**: attacking the state Legislature's hypocrisy and ineffectiveness - **"The Effect of Cartoons"**: defending *The Wasp*'s satirical illustrations as effective political commentary - **"Administrationists"**: condemning those supporting corrupt Republican machine politics under Buckley The page demonstrates *The Wasp*'s role as a muckraking publication fighting San Francisco's notorious political corruption during the Gilded Age.
