GOVERNOR BLACK, we should think,
must be very eager to restore the De-
mocracy to power in New York. If any
thing will do it, his force" election bill
is the thing. Nothing like it has ever
been heard of outside of Republican
majority waving the bloody shirt.
The bill cannot serve Blacks party even
for temporary purposes, for it is prepos-
terously unconstitutional.

CURSED FLAG AND COUNTRY. James B. Gill Ckastises Two Insult
 ing Foreigners.

Foreigners who do not like Old Glory and the country which 1t represents would better keep their reasonable statements under subjection when abroad. A case where two foreigners were brought to a sense of American manliness was illus trated flew evenings since in a Kearny street saloon.
 There were present standing at the bar James B. Gill, superintendent of the Burglar Alarm Company, and another the place and after calling for liquid re- treatments proceeded to direct their con- versation to all within their hearing. They were profuse in choice epithets in con demning the American flag and consign- region where very wicked sinners are said to go.
 MT. Gill stood the thing as long as he could. and on seeing that the insulting foreigners directed their remarks pur- posely for his hearing he turned to them ing such language. Saying that no man living in this country and protected by its laws should speak so disrespectfully of the lag and the people. he demanded a retraction. which did not come Without losing much time over the matter his good of one of the men and his left followed suit against the others ear The result was that two foreigners lay spra awling on the mosaic pavement. AS soon as they got on their feet they slid out of the doorway like two whipped CUTS.
 powerfully built man. said that in future no man can swear at Old Glory or curse the American people while he is about without having a fight on his hands.

The Ballots Were Marked.

The Supreme Court has reversed the judgment of the lower court of Modoc County in the election contest case of Estes and Laurer. At the election of 1896 W. F. Estes received a certificate of cleo ton to the position of Supervisor at the hands of the Election Board. E. Laurer contested the matter and after much tes- timony the lower court set aside the issu- contestant had the majority of the votes cast The Supreme Court Justices re- versed the judgment on the ground that some of the ballots cast for Laurer had identifying marks" thereon, and conse- quently were illegal. Aside from these Estes had sufficient ballots to secure his election.

ROMANCE OF
 4 BANKBOOK Mystery of the Life of
 Mary E. Collier. OUTCOME OF A PERSONAL. MONEY LIES IN A
 VAULT FOR YEARS. An Army Surgeon Leaves Snug Legacy, Which Is Now Being
 Claimed by Strangers.
OUTCOME OF A PERSONAL
UNCLAIMED MONEY LIES IN A
 VAULT FOR YEARS.

The following personal in the San Francisco papers few days ago refers to the case of a woman whose bank account has for a long time been a puzzle to those interested in the af- fairs of the Savings and Loan Bank of this city:
 cisco in 1s64-66 or her next kin will re-
 ceive valuable information on communicating
 with OSCAR T. SHUCK, attorney for absent heirs, 5O9 kearny st.. San Francisco.
 Peculiar interest attaches to this case because the money in question was deposited in her name by Dr. Ben jamin Tappan, who was surgeon in the United States army, and who was killed in an engagement with the Apache Indians in 1866.
 In 1864 the doctors office was at 622 Clay street One day in that year he stepped into the Savings and Loan Bank, directly across the street, and made deposit, signing Mary E. Col Her, by B. Tappan Jr." No syllable of information has since been discovered concerning the Mary E. Collier in question.
 It has been learned that pr. Tappan was born in Steubenville, Ohio. Inves- tigations there led to the belief that the MIS- OOllleT III QueSllOu udQ DSeIl discovered in the wife of Dr. J. c. Denise of Omaha, as Mrs. Denise was once Mary c. Collier, and a schoolmate of Dr. Tappan. The signature of Mrs. Denise as Mary Collier was presented at the bank, whereupon the signature of Mary E. Collier was produced, and there was not the slightest resem- blance. The real owner of the money it appeared, had signed her name to an order on the bank as far back as 1864, directing the bank to honor any orders signed by Dr. Tappan as her agent.
 The brothers of Dr. Tappan, one of whom is Rev David s. Tappan of Portsmouth. Ohio, now claim the money, and assert that no Mary E. Collier will ever be found If the money was originally for Mary E. Col Her. and if the doctor subsequently, changed his mind and needed the money personally, there is a theory that he induced some woman to sign the order which was produced at the bank. It has not been disclosed how much of the money originally depos- ited was drawn by Dr. Tappan under the terms of the order 4 snug sum, at all events, is now awaiting the true owner

the Board of Regents, contrary to the expectations of every one who WAS aware of the supposed enmity existing 1 between the Governor and the Mayor: ! the Harney faction-which is the Budd faction-of the local Democracy has
 been instructed to offer no organized opposition to the adoption of the new charter; Phelan has withdrawn his
 lleutenants who were booming his can dldacy for the gubernatorial nomina- 1 ton in the interior of the State; the of hcials who are eating the cake of Budd,s patronage in this city are lend
 ing their moral support to the com
 bined efforts of Phelan and his follow
 CTS to secure the adoption of the new charter. In the face of these facts if
 would seem that the apprehensions of those who profess to be able to see the trend of events is not unfounded.
 Governor Budd's power in this city can be estimated at a glance. He has control of the Democratic State Gen. tral Committee. His is the hand that guides and directs the policy of the so- called Harney Democrats. He has at his command the power and influence that goes with the patronage of the water front, the Board of Health. the Board of Park Commissioners, the Reg istrar, part of the Board of Fire Com n1issioners, part of the Board of Po- lice Commissioners, a part of the Board of Railroad Commissioners, the Insur- ance Commissioner, and the attorneys. secretaries and others who hold their present positions at the pleasure and by the grace of the Governor. A very formidable array, to be sure. and one that will be a very material aid to the man who has resigned his claims to the Governors chair in order to be the Car of San Francisco under the new char ter
 Should the proposed charter be adopt ed and Phelan achieve his present am bition to be Mayor under it's provisions he would then be in the possession of a power greater by far than the wise pro- visions of republican form of gov ernment have heretofore seen fit to give to any one individual He would have the appointment of the Board of Education. the Civil Service Commits sion, the Board of Health, the Board of Election Commissioners, the Board of Park Commissioners, the Board of Fire Commissioners. the Board of Police Commissioners, the Board of Public Works, besides a secretary usher and stenographer. These appointments would be his direct patronage His in direct patronage would include all of the appointments that would be made by the various boards and commissions named, which include the greater part of the salary roll of the city and conn ty- His indirect patronage would be his as absolutely as the direct patron age. for the reason that he is given the power to remove from office any one whom he appoints without giving any better reason than that of ''incompat- ibility of views" If. for instance. the Board of Health refused to appoint any one or all of the 200 or more employees who are in that branch of the govern ment and who might be nominated by the Mayor, then he could remove the members Of the Board Of Health and appoint new board which would obey

F0ULKS MADE A
 SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
BUT THERE MAY BE TROUBLE
 OVER THE PLACE.
Three New Lumber Inspectors Ap- pointed at Salaries Which Are
 at Present Indefinite.

A principal for the Business Evening school was elected at the meeting of the Board of Education yesterday, but 1t is not at all certain that he will be allowed to take the place
 By resolution signed by Carew. Bantel. Derham. Head, Harrington, Armer and Waller, George H. Foulks, the present vice-principal of the school, was made its principal by the votes of those who signed the resolution, and with that of Ga1la- gher. It is Gallagher's vote which may cause trouble, however, for he voted no on the first call, and then before the re- suit was announced he changed his vote and gave notice of a reconsideration at the next meeting. So there may be more legislation before MT. Foulks gets the place.
 s. H. Kent, Daniel Powers and T. NJ. McLachlan were appointed by the presi- dent as experts in lumber furnished the pursuance of a resolution passed at the meeting of April 30. MT. Head asked What W. salary the experts would get, and cost S10 a day each. MT. Head objected because the department was not in a con ditton to pay any such sum but he was who declared the appointments were made in pursuance of a resolution passed in due form and they were not debatable. Harrington ruled the point well taken, but the matter will come up again.
 The question of text book for draw ing came up again, and a resolution ac- eept1ng the bid of D. c. Heath and the Thompson system as the one for the schools, conditional upon the court rul- ing that the board had power to make such change. was voted down but if may come up again at the meeting Fri day night, to which time the board ad-
 The resignation of MT. Carew as an ad- dluonal member of the Finance Commit lee was accepted after some personal re- marks. It was ordered that the drill corps or the different schools should turn out on Memorial day.
 Leaves of absence were granted as fol- lows: Miss L. Nj. Kinney of the Whittier Primary from May 19. 1898. to June 9. lSsS; Mrs: NJ. H. Melrose of the Bernai Primary from May 16. 1898. to May 30. 1898.

PHELAN WISHES
 TO BE A GEAR

doubt, in spite of the big talk that is
 being indulged in regarding the alleged
 enmity that marks the political inter- course between Budd and Phelan. The
 wise ones who profess to be able to see
 behind and beyond the veil of diplo-
 macy with which the great men seek to hide the real intent of their acts as- sert that the Governor is "doing" San Francisco politics with so masterly hand that he has already got the game in his own hands before his less bril- liant party associates have even divined his intent
 The conditions as stated are these: Mayor Phelan seeks political prefer ment for the honor that such prefer ment will bring him, a sentiment not the less laudable because he happens to be in 8 position to ignore the ma teriaI benefits that would follow. In pursuit of his quest for further honors Phelan set his eye on the Governors chair-and found, somewhat to his sur prise, that he was encroaching on the political preserves of the. incumbent. AS Phelan was insistent and Budd firm, there remained but two solutions of the difficulties of the situation-there must be either open warfare or a re- sort to diplomacy.
 The subjects of the two opposing leaders declared for war, and have since been industriousIy arming them selves for the expected conflict, the marshaling of the Sullivan forces on the part of Phelan and the Harney forces on the part of Budd being the visible evidences of their activity. In the meantime the leaders were not idle. The Governor conceded that the Mayor had a perfect right to seek for honor and power. He was even willing to as- sist the Mayor in his quest, providing it was made outside the State pre- serves. If the people of San Francisco could be induced to accept the proposed charter, what greater power could nor tai man desire than to be elected Mayor under its provisions? The honor attached to the position might be somewhat doubtful, but what was lacking in this respect could be sup piled by the Governor In another way. He could appoint Phelan a Regent of the State University, one of the most honorable positions in the gift Of the Chief Executive. Having thus sup piled the honor, the Governor could then use his immense political power a power that is his through the benefi- and in the State at iarge-to secure put the longed- for power within the reach of Phelan's ambition. In return for all this Phelan would withdraw his objectionable presence from the field of State politics.
 And this is precisely what it is claimed has been done.
 Phelan was appointed a member of

A TechnicalitY Misfres.

In passing upon the appealed case of Frank Prather yesterday the Supreme Court took occasion to again uphold the provisions of section e56 of the Penal Code. Prather was convicted of stealing cattle after a fair trial in the Superior Court of Yolo County. According to the indict- ment, the defendant stole the cattle from the "estate of James G. Fair. deceased. .' Demurrer was made to the indictment on the ground that the information was too vague and should have stated the heirs or legatees. In upholding the judgment of the lower court the Supreme Court dwelis with some force on the section mentioned, which provides that where there is suffi- cient certainty in the information to identify the act an erroneous allegation as to the person injured is not material.

his commands And this, too, without assigning a reason for his act further than that their views were not com patible with his.
 Besides all this the Mayor will have a salary of $600G a year, besides fund of s3600 a year, for the expenditure of which he is not required to give an ac- counting. His other powers under the new charter are so numerous that to enumerate them all would require the use of several columns of this paper.
 There certainly seems to be some thing doing" in local politics, and that something is what is worrying the wise ones among the politicians who make 1t the business of their lives to be In at the death
