What you’re looking at

This page contains satirical commentary rather than a prominent cartoon. The main visual is a small illustration captioned "A Boomerang," depicting a woman and man in formal dress, accompanying a dialogue joke about romantic rejection. The text discusses several topics: 1. **Ward McAllister**: A New York society figure criticized for publishing names of prominent club members, allegedly breaching confidentiality. 2. **Barry Baldwin**: President Cleveland's nomination of this California grain merchant for U.S. Marshal receives satirical praise, noting his political ambitions and business connections. 3. **Ex-President Harrison**: Mocked for his isolated mental habits and selective thoughts about the presidency. The page primarily uses written satire targeting political and social figures rather than visual caricature.
