This page is primarily **text-based editorial content** rather than cartoons. The masthead shows The Wasp's logo—a figure with a wasp—indicating this is the oldest color cartoon paper in the U.S. The main articles address: 1. **"An Enemy"** — criticizing England's hostility toward the United States, particularly regarding the Baltimore Affair and Chile disputes. 2. **"The Elections"** — discussing recent Democratic and Republican campaign results, praising McKinley's bill and criticizing the Far-Alliance. 3. **"The Fire Commissioners"** — calling for reform in San Francisco's Fire Department management. 4. **"The Strike Ended"** — commentary on an iron molders' strike's conclusion. 5. **"The Mayor's Duty"** — discussing Mayor Sanderson's appointment of a successor. The page functions as political commentary rather than visual satire.
