GROWING AGGRESSIVE.
The Democracy Is Lining Up for %
Vigorous Attack Upon Im-
periallsm.

The indications are growing stronger
that the coming campaign will be one
of aggression ON the part of the DEM
ocratic party. Taking the cue from

which has foisted upon the nation the
most infamous currency bill ever ac-
eepted by any nation in the4World. I'm
der such circumstances what can the
democratic party do but be aggressive?
| Mr.. Bryan. the great leader of the de-
mocraey, insists that the issues are
money, trusts and Imperialism. In
spite of the fact that Mr.. Bryan is mis-
quoted and misinterpreted on all oe-
casions, his last utterances to the pub
| lie are to the effect that money, trusts
and Imperialism will form the issues
to be fought inffe national campaign.
The republicans make no issue upon
the trusts. it having been. determined
all along by Mr.. Mckinley and Mark
Hanna that nothing. whatever. Mould

The money question is all the more
absorbing and essential because it is,

control of, the money of the people,
and the problem of the trusts and
that of imperialism would soon be
solved. The people are beginning to
understand that by giving up to the
money. power the one great essential
in their personal and social affairs,
to-wit, the creation and coh4rbf Of
their money, they have saddled them
selves with the other two branches Of
the question. Hence II is that the
money question is all important, and
this is the reason why Mr.. Bryah has
often indicated that he could nor
abandon it even If he would. It IS
immateriaf whether the money ques-

Fit is still the same question, control OF

DEsEcRATERs OF THE FLAG.

Militarism BY Repub-
lfcans,

There is a society in these United
States, styling itself American Flag

spasms of the repeated dissertations of
the flag which the association is in
corporated to preserve it against.
twenty-five years have passed. it
says, reproachfully, s'since thefrst eff
fort was made in congress to obtain
legislation to protect tie United
States flag from desecration. Flag
bills are now lying in the pigeon holes

theater in Havana, it is Missed, and
elsewhere spat upon, and It is abused
in Porto Rico, Cuba, Honolulu and Ma
Mia !"
OF course it is, and ii may be also
said that it is the most infamously
abused in Suiu. Moreover the Turks,
Chinese and othersforeigners are not
stuck on it. This society Of good peo-
pie do not seem to be aware that none
of the places mentioned are subject to
the constitution of. the United States,
and according to Mr.. Oxnard and the
trust managers Of the republican par
ty. it has no business there against
their interests. If the flag atiorers
would begin crusade ag8inst vthe
dissertations, saliva and contume1y
heaped upon the American flag b. the
Mckinley administration and haul it
out of the mud where il has been
trampied by the republican party.
they might restore some vei1eration
for the flag o, our country y.

ISSUES ARE cRYsTALLIzING.
Dissension Among Republicans Rsck-
ons Democrats ON to
Victory.

Great strides have been made during
the pastfweek towards eliminating the
side shoots of national political issues
and the reduction of the latter to the
three clear, simple issues SO often and
SO positively declared by Mr.. Bryan to
be the absorbing issues ior the coming
presidential campaign.
The republicans themselves, in
their recent state conventions, have
made the questions of money, trusts
and imperialism the dominant issues.
Upon money and imperialism they
have proudly as well as defantly rati-
fled and approved all of the uncertain,
unconstitutional and american act S
Of Mr.. Mckinley S administration and
of his subseryient congress.
The issue of trusts is CLOSED over
with so thin veneering of disinclina-
ton to solve the problem that nobody
can possibly be deceived as happened
in 1896, when the republican party ac-
cepted the doctrine of bimeta1lism and
when in poaer shifted to the absolute
gold standard.
Senator Hanna. the chief manager OF
the republican machine in giving out
his first authoritative statement of
the campaign to the Cleveland Leader
of the 30th ult., is not certain that
the victory will rest with the republic
IN party. his opinion being predicated
upon conditional if. . lie says: .'The
price of the victory will be much
= h n lar,
required from the time the campaign
opens until election day. The repub-
lieans should make the same kind of
a fight that they did in 1875. :
Their application and attention to the
details of the campaign must be steady
and ,hneeasing There is no
way of figuring how the republican,
can lose in the coming contest if the.r
put their shoulders to the wheel and
are not imbued with spirit of over
confidence in the success of the ticket
Senator Jones, however, and other
leaders of the democratic party are of
the opinion that the republican party
has furnished an abundance of cam
paign material which will operate
against its success. kentucky, this
year. is considered doubtful by Mr..
Hanna, and Maryland creates merely
faint hope of republican success in
the mindlof Mr.. Hanna.
It would be more logical and GER
tainly more in accordance with the in-
dieations to believe that Kansas, South
Dakota and Washington will remain in
the democratic column than to believe
Mr.. Hanna's prediction that they will
go republican; and, further, the indi-
cations are still stronger that Idaho
and Montana will fall into the demo-
cratic ranks, regardless of the opinion
of Senator's Shoup and Carter.
1T is certain, from all of the indica-
tions, that the republican party is
losing instead of gaining ground, and
that the democracy is gaining in such
states as Connecticut. New York. Della
ware and Maryland, as well as else
where. and it is difficult to conceive
how this democratic gain is to be pre-
vented, since the republican party and
the Mckinley administration have as
sumed a dangerous position whence
they cannot rafreaf

Trough LOVE TO LAUGHTER.

Lead your child through love to laughter
Sorrow soon enough comes after;
Soon enough will real ills find 1t,
Let not false gloom blur or blind it;
Life has much of giee and gladness,
Smothering smiles in babes is madness,
Rather let them laugh and love it
With Gods smiling skies above 1t;
Joyous juniors love to caper,
Ills for them are thin as paper,
While the gladness and the glory
Fill life TO its upper story;
Smiles for them are finely filing,
Though some tears each may be spilling.
Let them laugh, the years are hying
To where each shall know more crying,
Burdened with the cares and trials,
Sufferings and self-denials
Which grow greater, stronger, bolder,
AS their human slaves grow older.
Let the child laugh long and longer,
Let its love of glee grow stronger,
Better 1t should turn from troubles,
Laugh at irridescent bubbles,
Than eclipse its sunny gladness
In the atmosphere of sadness,
All too ready to bereave US,
And with ghosts OF gloom to leave Us.
Let your juvenile be jolly,
Lead him far from melancholy,
Harmless joys jar roof and rafter,
Lead your child through love to laughter.

OBITUARY.
Silas Tidwell, One of Globes Old-
 est Citizens, Passes Away.


 We regret to announce the death on Tuesday last February 6, of Mir. Silas Tidwell, one of the oldest residents and most respected citizens of Globe. On January p he was stricken by paralysis, after which life faded like the ebb of the ti6e, and he passed from life to eternity painlessly, like child falling to sleep.
 Silas Tidwell was born near Law renceville, Indiana, in 1885. When P years of age he moved, with his mother and younger brothers and sis ters to Nebraska. There he engaged in the saw mill and Touring mill busi ness. In 1865 he married Miss Sarah J. Neff, and in 1868 he moved with his wife and little daughter, and accom- panied by NJ. W. Bremen, to south western New Mexico. In Silver City, New Mexico, he was interested in min ing, being one of the original owners of the "76" mine, which produced
  over s200,000 while he was co-owner. He sold his interest in the mine to Mir. Bremen in 1877 and came to Gila county. locating at McMillen, since which time he bas been resident of this section.
 MT. Tidwell was thorough mining and mill man, and in his long resi- dence in New Mexico and Arizona he had gained the respect of all with whom he had made an acquaintance. He leaves wife and two daughters, Mrs. H. L. Higdon and Mrs. Ollie Haverly, to mourn his death, besides the numerous friends of the family. The funeral took place this after noon from the family residence and was largely attended.
 The BELT extends condolence to the bereaved family.
