JUDAS heads the list of those who
have bartered their mortal souls
for coin. Are the solid seven Of
the Board of Supervisors ready
to complete that roll of infamy to
date by adding their names to itP
It looks like it. They seem to have
sold themselves, body and breeches,
to the Southern Pacific and the Mar
ket-street Railway Company, and
those corporations are accustomed to
exact the limit once they pay the
price. The limit in the present case
consists of a double track franchise
for a steam railroad from Third and
Townsend streets to the county line
and a blanket franchise for electric
street railways, to defeat for fifty
years the operations of the new char
ter and shut out competition.
They asked for these things Mon
day a week ago. Three days later the
Street Committee of the Supervisors
recommended the passage to print
of the resolutions, and to-day the
"solid seven" stand ready to do the
bidding of the corporations.
The "solid' seven" has never been
known to do anything for nothing,
ana it is not probable, at this late
day, that they would change their
rule. The haste they have shown to
do what the corporations required
would imply that they are not only
have received it. In their eagerness
to deliver the goods they forgot even
to give such semblance of good faith
to their acts as to allow the usual
lime to elapse between the application
for an important franchise and its
full consideration. That is why they
propose this afternoon to rush the
resolutions to print.
They will not do so, brazen as they
are, shameless as they have proved
themselves, without a protest that
will make them quail. at meeting
held yesterday three hundred citizens
of the Mission applauded the state
ment Of one of their number to the
effect that the TRAITORS needed a

descend this afternoon on the Super
visors, protest against the contem-
plated infamies, plead with the
"sordid seven" not to do this thing,
and, finally, if the betrayal was COM
pleted, to storm the chamber with
their indignation.
The "solid seven" may even stand

n n ANILA, May 2S.-The cable ship
II III Recorder while picking up the
INI cable between the islands of
1h Negros and Cebu, went to the
town of Escalante, on the for
mer island. She landed a party
in a launch, consisting of the COM
mander, second officer and several Of
the crew. and also Captain George P.
Tilley of the Signal Corps, who was on
board the ship to observe the cable
operations. A flag of truce had been
hosted by the rebels, who waited until
the party had landed and then treach-
erously poured a murderous volley
upon them. Captain Tilley and one of
the men at once threw themselves into
the water.
The commander of the Recorder, run
ming a great risk, managed to reach
the launch and put off from the bank
to save it from capture by the rebels.
Meanwhile a rain of bullets was fall

porting that party landing for the re-
pair Of the cable at Escalante, Island
of Negros. had been treacherously at
tackled by natives: that Captain George
p. Tiley, Signal Corps, is missing, and
that the worst is feared. Tilley's serv-
ices in the Philippines have been
marked by such ability, courage and
zeal that his superiors placed him In
the foremost ranks of subordinate Off
GERS. The cable operations referred to
are not those of the Signal Corps, but
Of the Eastern Extension Cable Com
pany. that has been permitted to repair
and replace certain cables in the
Visayan Islands. TiIley DOUBTLESS ac-
companied the expedition as the repre-
sentative Of the United States, the SUI

cables being a part of his duties. No
other casualties in the Signal Corps
have been as yet reported in this expe-
dition. Tilley was appointed from Cali
fornia.
HELENA, Mont, May 28.-Captain
George P. Tilley, reported probably
killed by F'ilipinos at Escalante, Island
of Negros, had been resident of Hell
ena since 1884. He was an expert teleg-
rapher and electrician, and a man of
finest character. He was born about
thirty-eight years ago at Jamaica,
L. /, where his father, Civil War
veteran, still lives. Tilley enlisted early
in the war with Spain as lieutenant of
the Signal Corps, and was promoted
soon after reaching the Philippines for
conspicuous able service. He had been
further recommended for promotion to

Three hundred residents and pron-
erty holders of the Mission. voicing the
indignation of the citizens of that nom
ulous section, will march In a BODY this
afternoon to the City Hall to protest
py their presence against the passage
to print of the resolutions recommend
ed by the subservient Street Commit
tee granting a double-track franchise
to the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany and blanket franchise to the
Market Street Company for its lines
over the streets of the city. A special
ly appointed committee of ten will put
the protest into form and ask that the
proposed treason be not consummated.
If, in the face of this, the solid seven
vote to betray the people the three
hundred present will arise, and, crying
shame on them," point the finger of
scorn at the traitors who have earned
their thirty pieces of silver.
No ropes will be taken to the CITY
Hall, as has been suggested by more
than one, and no attempt will be
made to string up any member of the
"solid seven," but there is no telling
what exciting incidents may take
place If the seven carry out their
avowed purpose.
DO not betray us! Do not betrav
us,' will be the cry of the three hun
dred, and it would be indeed a defiant
lot Of Supervisors to face the storm
that is prepared to break at the first
sign of treachery. The cry was voiced
first yesterday afternoon by one of the
speakers at an indignation meeting Of
citizens and property owners of the
Mission at Mangels Hall, and it was
taken up by three hundred volunteers,
who raised their hands in pledge of
their intention to join the march to
the hall.
The meeting was held at the call of
the Mission and Potrero Improvement
Club, and long before the hour when
Chairman T. B. Slevin called it to or
der standing room was at premium.
The men assembled were solid citizens
of the district and they were not slow
once they got down to business to voice
their views of the shameless solid
seven and the franchise steal their
votes were purchased to legalize.
In calling the meeting to order Chair
man Slevin recited the history OF the

My Mollie twas she was the pride of our
town,
Her hair it was golden, her eyes a soft
To see her sweet smile, with her red lips
apart,
Sure twould set the rogue stealing right
into your heart.
Myself had the looks, too, and stood six
foot high
Yes, couple worth seeing were Mollie
and l.
All! we'll l remember one bright summer
day,
When we thought there was never such
bloom on the may;
And the birds sang so sweetly from out
of the glen
They, sure, never sang half so sweetly
as then!
And that night no such stars ever shone
in the sky
So full of loves magic were Mollie and l.
For I'd told her my love-well, you all
know the way,
Since when her heart thrills to hear
there needs little to say.
And there she was walking close up to
my side,
With her hand clasped in mine, my own
promised bride.
No happier pair could be found far or
nigh,
That fair summer even, than Mollie
and I.
How the thoughts of old times they
throng into my head
With that day of all days when my
Mollie 1 wed
l wore brave suit, so smart and so
tight,
With Mollie beside me in soft, flowing
white.
l stepped proud as king, but my love
she looked shy,
AS we passed to the chapel, my Mollie
and l.
Oh! but was the blest one to win such
wife, .
The light of my home and the joy of my
life;
And to me twas the crowning of all
her sweet charms,
When she held our first babe in her love-
ly white arms.
So full was my heart that prayed God
on high
We might never be parted, my Mollie
and l.
OF fine lads and lassies we'd nigh half a
score,
Not Il one, though too many, yet askin
no more;
And when with lifes care I'd get some
what cast down,
I had still her bright smile, ah! but
never one frown.
We'd our Joy and our sorrow, our laugh
and our cry,
For we shared all together my Mol
lie and l.
Now they tell me she's sleeping, and still
must sleep on,
But the children are weeping-Oh, where
has she gone?
And is it without me she's found her
last rest,
Who for fifty long years has lain in my
breast?
And what Is this darkness? The lights
left the sky!
Our Father! we're coming, my Moiiie

THE TWO GOVERNORS.

Flowing bowl.
! We have all heard of what "the
governor of North Carolina said to the
governor of South Carolina" 1t has
been an inspiration and an example
which has hastened the downward
course of countless thousands. An ex-
planation of it's origin or of it's truth I
| have never heard.
offer this, says Martin I. j. Griffin.
| Singular as it may seem at the very
| time that Thomas Burke, Catholic,
was governor of North Carolina, Aed-
anus Burke, "his brother or near :ela-
tive was chief justice of South Caro-
/ lima. He had been educated for the
priesthood at ST. Omers, at the break
ing out of the revolution came from the
West Indies to volunteer to fight for
American liberty. He was major in the
patriot army and in April, 1878, was
elected judge. He long filled with mer-
cy and justice this highly respectable Of
fice," says the historian, Ramsey. In
American history he is especially note
worthy for his opposition to the Order
of Cincinnati, established by Washing
ton and compatriots after the close of
the war. At this day we can read with
calmness, and indeed with merriment,
of the controversy which excited this
country and France in 1888, and the
sensation Judge Burk's pamphlet against
the order caused. Gov. Thomas Burke
condemned the order in an address. The
legislatures of Massachusetts,, Pennsyl-
vania and Rhode Island passed resolu-
| tions of ceusure, and our ministers at
foreign courts expressed regret and NOR
titication at the formation of the order,
which was feared as establishing an
hereditary and monarchial class in the
country.
| Gov. Burke, in September, 1881, was
captured by the Tories. He escaped in
January, 1882
| Both he and his relative, the chief
| Justice of South Carolina, were of con-
vivial dispositions and habits So when
the governor of North Carolina es-
capped from British Imprisonment and
met his fellow devotee of Bacchus, the
governor of North Carolina said to the
chief justice of South Carolina, ''It is
long time between drinks" From Sep
tember, 1871, till January, 1882, the op-
portunity Of taking something" to-
gether had not been afforded, and was
no doubt regarded as another instance Of
British cruelty.
Be that as it may, we see that re-
mark conducting to conviviality has in
deed, much Of a foundation in American
history, in the fact that two Irish
blooded Catholic American patriots of
the same name were at the same time
in the highest civil positions in adjoin-
ing states, and that both had had as
signed to them the character of being
Jolly good fellows" But happily in
these cur days, the same methods are no
longer deemed respectable or comport-
ing with official dignity or moral re-
sponsibility.
So, 1T is a long time between drinks
as governor of North Carolina said to
the chief justice of South Carolina"
ought to be the correct expression.
You never knew that Tom Burke, a
Catholic, was a member of the CONT
mental congress and later governor of
