Branch of Hearst Party.-A local in
dependence party is about to be Or
ganized in Moline. A. H. Mertz is
sponsor for the announcement, and he
is sponsor for the movement so far as
Moline is concerned. He explains that
the term independence does not
signify that the party is bound to the
independence party of William X.
Hearst, nor exactly that it is a local
branch of that party. But the local in
dependence organization will be in a
measure affiliated with the national or
ganization, for it looks to at least one
of the lights of Hearst's organization
to be one of it's stoutest local cham
-pions. Mertz explains that it is the
intention to put a full ticket in the
field in the municipal elections in Mo
line and Rock Island next spring
Public ownership of public utilities
will be one of the chief slogans. In
Moline the campaign will be made on
the removal or elevation of the tracks

sIoNUMENT TO DIR. aHoRNwaLL.
Movement was Started at the Meet.
ing of Pythians In WaIbaIIa.
Z .(Greenyille News. 2oth.l )

>Ni CCs1ftiiC A>cWbp
At the district conventiea of the
knights of Pythias held In Waihalla
on Tuesday a resolution was adopted
calling upon the Pyshians OF the
State to raise a sum of not less than
$10,0 600 for the PURPOSE OF erecting
q monument to the memory of the
late DR.. James III. Thornwell, who
was at the time of his death Grand
Keeper OF Records and Seal. The
resolution authorized the District
Deputy Grand Chancbellor to appoint
O committee. consisting OF one mem
tber from each lodge in the district
to raise the amount which this dis
trict should contribute to the fund.
1t is thought that the other dis
trict conventions in. the State will
agree to the resolution, and that
the money will be raised without
any, trouble. The aetectinn cf 9 place
for the monument was not mem
toned in the resolution, and this will
be decided later DIR. Thornwell was
closely identified with Pythianism,
and In his death the order sustained
o great loss.
In addition to the resolution above
named e /. iiiSd one was adopted expressing
great regret at the death of the
Grand Keeper of Records and Seal
rnd paying a beautiful tribute to,
his ia:sss aid character. A copy of
this resolution will be spread upon
the minutes and published in the
press, +, s.j5S
The Greenville delegates to the
convention returned to the city yes
terday, and they spoke in the high
est terms Of the hospitality extended
them by the people Of Walhalla, On
Tuesday night a delightful banquet
was rendered the visitors, and num-.
ber' of toasts were responded to. The
following were the delegates from
the local lodges: j. j. Mes aiu, DR..
j. p. Carlisle, r. J. McCorrigan, r.
M. Mauldin, JOS. A. Mccullough and
Proctor A. Bonham.
The next convention will be held
in Greenyille In August, and local
Knights will make an effort to make
this most profitable IS well as a
pleasant meeting. Ss|
The convention at Walhalla was
greatly enjoyed by the delegates,
ing knights most lavishly. The
speeches at the banquet were splen-
did and were greatly enjoyed. The
business sessions of the convention
were held in the norning and after
noon.
District Deputy Grand Chancellor
Park A. Dallas will announce the
personnel of the committee to soli-
cit funds with which to erect the
monument to the memory of Or.
Thornwell within the next few days.
1t Is believed that favorable re-
spouse will be given the request, and
that the Pythians will give literally
toward the fund with which to per-
petuate the memory of their distin-
guished dead.

MATTERs IN THE Senate.
Senator j. R. Earle Writes of Some
Things Public ana Private.

The following letter from Senator
J. r. Earle reached The Courier too
Late For publication last week, as
y we had gone to press before its re-
ceipt: S1ple
y Columbia, Feb Is. Special: The
Senate last night, by vote of IT
to 16, continued ne bill to reduce
the railroad fare to 21a cents, so
that the old rate will stand. 1t is
impossible to say why this final vote
was changed In favor of the rail-
roads. The bill passed Its second
reading by a vote of 1S to Id.
The bill introduced by me to allow
Circuit Judges TO order extra terms
of the Circuit Court in the counties
in the Circuit has passed its sec
ond reading in the Senate, which
insures Its passage If It can get
through the house.
The two bills got through the
Senate a year ago to prevent unfair
discrimination by the Standard Oil
Company, and providing for the In
spection Of oils, is still on the house
calendar. / have urged and begged
that they be taken up, but so far
have not succeeded. My friends
over there say they will pass them,
but the time is getting dangerously
short.
In response to many inquiries, I
desire to say that will be candi-
date for reelection to the Senate
this year, trusting that my course
/. has been in harmony with the wishes
of the people, and that they will see
fit to elect me for a second term.
The twelye-circuit bill has finally
passed. and we have to elect two
more Judges.
1t looks as though we will have
an insurance commissioner with his
coterie of attaches.

spanish Paper peclares that Our
Government Blew Up Maine.

Havana, Feb. 19.-The Dairio Es-
panol, a Spanish organ, commenting
edttorially upon the anniversary OF
the loss Of the battleship Maine. has
this to say: ~
Every one, including large part
OF the Yankee nationwhich is honest,
and which maintained that the dec
laratfon of war against Spain was a
crime, believes, and will continue to
believe, that the explosion was ar
ranged in the War Department. at
Washington, and that 1t was carried
out by mercenary hands among the
crew, acting under orders from the
officers on board. At the burial Of
the victims of the tragic event which
was arranged and paid for by the
Spanish city government, all the offi-
GERS of the wrecked vessel assisted,
with their captain at the head, wear
ing their brilliant full-dress uni
forms. {.
That circumstance was, and con-
tinues to be, one Of the wefghty
proofs that must convince all that all
the officers, save the one chosen as
a victim, had taken their baggage
ashore from the ship and placed 1t
in a safe ard convenient place"
The editorial contends throughout
that the world will continue to be-
lieve the Maine was destroyed by an
explosion from the inside until the
Washington government raises the
wreck, and from this evidence proves
the contrary.
The Daily Telegraph prints q
translation of the editorial, which 1t
calls vile scred."
