very happy in his cartoons on the late Anti |
Chinese Convention. There is wit and
humor in them all, and while there is no
offense in any, there is a deal of wisdom
and thoughtful suggestion in Them One
full-paSe cartoon very neatly takes off the
demagoglcal attempt made i'll the Conven-
ton 10 rebuke Senator Stanford. 1t meets
the sentiment of the day, which is not dis

that commands respect and admiration.
Her plots are dramatic in action and thor

probable. There is tendency to be prolix,
and to unduiy extend recital, but these and
some others are minor defects for which
| general merit compensates.
