What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **editorial and news content**, not a cartoon. The main visual is a photograph of **Josh R. Rines**, identified as "the oldest letter carrier in the San Francisco service," who entered service in 1869. The articles address local San Francisco issues: "The Law" discusses a recent Supreme Court case involving witnesses; "The Remedy" debates yellow fever precautions and Australian steamers; and "Very Black" covers a scandal involving ex-judge Denson and William Whittier regarding alleged immoral relations. The brief mention of "The Palo Alto" highlights a new Stanford University magazine. These appear to be serious political/social commentary rather than satirical cartoons, reflecting The Wasp's role as a news-oriented publication beyond just humor.
