or shall not be ruled ~ the Platt machine.
That" It adds. will be the chief issue so far as
State politics is concerned. Until the power OF the
Patt machine is broken the masses OF the Re
publican party In the State must suffer reproach.

effort in that line. a historical painting
of vast extent, having produced in
extinguishable laughter" from all sorts
Of critics, Gillian wisely took his cue,
and by his genius, directed in the right
channel, he became the foremost car
toonist of the age. In 1880 he made por-
traits for the Harpers and afterward
passed through many phases of artists
life In Leslie's and Puck, which were
preparing the way for his final and
complete triumph as double page car
toonist in Judge. Mr.. Gillian was only
35 at the time Of his death. Many OF
his cartoons were classic and fetched a
big price. His work had given early cop
les of Judge a distinct value in the
secondhand market.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1896-02-28

In 1886 Mr.. Gillian, a born cartoonist.
went into partnership with w. J.
Arkeli and bought Judge. From tho
first issue containing colored cartoon
from the brush of Gillian the illustrious
Keppler knew that he had a giant to
fight. Mr.. Gillian proved worthy Of
his promise, and he has borne Judge
on his shoulders for ten years now.
This infusion Of talent was backed up
on collateral lines, and the paper
forged ahead until to-day it is on a par
with its older companion. Gillian was
by nature a humorous artist. He re-
ceived his art education in England
and, like all men OF genius in the
funny vein, had early ambition to shine
as doer Of divine things. His greatest

Concerning schOmburgk.

An interesting fact in connection with
the famous Schomburgk line, which has
escaped observation, is that the man
who provided the British government
with that boundary came to this coun-
try from Germany when he was % years
old, and after working for some time as
a clerk in Boston and Philadelphia be-
came a partner In Richmond, Va, to-
bacco mandatory in 1928. The factory
was burned and Schomburgk drifted TO
the West Indies, where, after unsuc-
cessful ventures, his botanical work at
tracted the attention of the London
Geographical society and he secured
means to explore the unknown region
OF the Orinoco. He remained there
from 1898 to 1889 and discovered the
Victoria Regia lily and many other
plants. This work led the British gov
eminent to commission him to suggest
boundary between Venezuela and
Guiana and to make further explora-
tions. The line was drawn and he was
knighted by the queen for his services.
