What you’re looking at

This is primarily a **text-based editorial page** rather than a cartoon page. The main content includes: 1. **Death notice for Seth Green**, a prominent pisciculturist (fish-breeding expert), praised for his scientific contributions to California fisheries. 2. **Political commentary** on the Republican party, praising their inclusion of women in campaign activities and noting this demonstrates dignity and organizational wisdom. 3. **Satirical verse** mocking various figures, including Walter Dunley (whose nose was allegedly bitten by a Black man) and references to the "Confidence Queen" (Bertha). 4. **Notes on Robert T. Lincoln** (ex-Secretary of War) and **Porter Adams**, a controversial local figure. The page contains social and political satire typical of The Wasp's style, but lacks the visual cartoons one might expect.
