The Monitor-Press comes boldly
to the rescue Of the bond grabbers
OF Wall street in its issue OF last
week. 1t goes so far as to assert
that it would be better to stop the
war than to submit to the dictation
OF the Democrats and free silverites
who want to provide funds for the
war in some other way than issuing
bonds for the banking fraternity to
gobble up. There is really no one
demanding the issue of bonds but the
spectators, and just why our neigh
Dor should be so devoted to their
interests is more than we are able
to fathom. How many of the

with which the Spanish minister of

tons OF the Spanish peace commits.

there Is tenind it a deliberate purpose
to draw out in advance the position of
the American commissioners on the
most important points The Spanish
government has usually waited for the
American government t O make a move.
There seems also to be a yelled threat
IN the last instructions, not to allow
the United States to interfere with the
jurisdiction Of any islands, except those
retained by the United States, such as
Luzon, that Spain may see fit 10 make.

\ striking example OF what IHE

the county hold Ii convention Of their
" and nominate a representative tick
e. and not be misreyreseuted by the
self-made. machIne-ticket Of the city,
has Just happened IN Roberts county,
one Of the most cock-sure republican
counties ~ the state for the machine
ticket. This is Dave Eastman's county,
who with Jack Lockhart in Grant coun-
tv, has held the republicans Of the north
east corner Of the state subservlent to
the machines schemes for years. East
man was rewarded for his Work by the
railroad gang at the Mitchell convention
with the nomination for school land
commissioner. Now the independent
republicans OF his county, Roberts, have
held a convention and placed full anti
machine legislative and county tickets
10 the field. This lnsures the defeat Of
the machine.ticket 10 that county
throughout. Eastman was present and
tried all in his power to pull the conven.
ton off by Offering deputy marshalships
and other offices to the leaders OF the
anti-machine movement, but all to no
purpose. There were eighty-one dele
gates 10 the convention aud it is freely
stated that Eastman won't even carry
his wi county on election day although
it has heretofore been one Of the heaviest
republican counties in the state. The
free republicans of Lake county ought
to assert their independence. too, by a
convention of their own, though this is
not necessary TO the defeat Of the ma
chime ticket here this fall. 1t will be
defeated anyway, but it would be all the
more credit to them to be the means OF
purifying their own party.
