What you’re looking at

This page contains political commentary and brief news items rather than cartoons. Key sections include: **"Secretary Tracy's Censure"**: Attacks Secretary of Treasury Tracy for inactivity regarding harbor improvements in San Francisco during Governor Hill's administration. **"The Last Act"**: Criticizes Governor Waterman's pardons of jury-bribers Creighton and Northey, calling them crimes against the community and justice. **"Mingled Hums"**: Brief satirical notes on various figures, including Mayor Sanderson and Joe Coburn. **"Look Out!"**: Endorses Joaquin Miller's plan to eliminate birds destroying mountain homes, praising Miller as both fighter and poet. The magazine's tone is sharply critical of California political figures' corruption and incompetence, using humor to expose what it views as abuse of executive power and negligence in public duties.
