What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **editorial commentary rather than political cartoons**. The main illustrated content shows a small sketch captioned "EVERYTHING BUT THAT," depicting what appears to be a conversation between two men (labeled Miller and Robinson) about waiting "for the moon to come up," with Robinson claiming he "didn't swallow that." The bulk of the page consists of prose commentary on contemporary California politics: Colonel Meyers' death, Senator Call's conduct during Congressional sessions, Governor Markham's absence from Sacramento during a railroad strike, and criticism of Secretary Carlisle regarding sugar tariff legislation. The "Issanna Gould" section satirizes European nobility marrying American heiresses. This appears to be a **satirical news magazine** mixing political commentary with social gossip.
