What you’re looking at

This page contains no cartoon illustrations, but rather biographical sketches and editorial commentary on California politicians. The content includes profiles of: **Charles N. Felton** - praised for an ethical Senate campaign ("not one cent of 'boodle money' was employed"), contrasting with the corruption plaguing the state legislature. **W.W. Morrow** - a Representative whose quiet arrival in town is noted positively. **M.H. De Young** - commended for his role on the World's Fair Commission. The dominant editorial, "Adjourned," criticizes California's legislature as uniquely corrupt—worse than predecessors—calling for reform and suggesting the Republican party offers better governance than the current "Democratic" system, which appears compromised by bribery and fraud.
