What you’re looking at

This page contains editorial commentary rather than prominent political cartoons. The masthead shows *The Wasp* as "the oldest cartoon paper in colors in the United States." Key content includes: **"A Truckling Proposition"** criticizes the superintendent of an Indian industrial school for opposing Indian boys working in the field, attributing this to foreign influence and suggesting the superintendent wants to appear progressive by training Indians toward menial labor. **"Clarkson Vice Quay"** discusses Mathew Quay's resignation from Republican leadership, praising his integrity while noting Democratic success against him. **"Time to Stop"** addresses ongoing violence and bloodshed, possibly referencing contemporary labor unrest or political conflict, calling for government intervention. The page reflects 1892 American concerns about Native American policy, Republican politics, and social disorder.
