ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. There can't be Q doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pressiOn as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her a full share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists
 4 lively competition has spruRg up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates a great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has ex. perienced sometime in its history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt. with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop. ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the con- pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating fund of substantial wealth and force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is a mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of gucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predominating element. It think it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. -"Fits- Mac" in Denver News

Irrigating
 canals, bitches
 and Reservoirs.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjectiOE the rise of water in canal, due to an oyer-abund ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing te severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such a Water Gate placed in lower hank of canal at such points along it's line Where there are Ravines. Gullies, Arroyos Foot Hills Buttes, or Tableland, any rains storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal The Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it iS

Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and eX- pense, but by it's use the first cost of canal con structon will be materially lessened, the banks need not be made SO high or wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is a pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 3, water runs freely into the tank, B. which is immediately filed thus overbalancing the weight, 4, which is on the other end of lever, 5, thus forcing open the gate, which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below a certain level, no more water is admitted te the tank; therefore empties itself by a small faucet opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done, the weight Overbalances tank, and brings down the lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate. closes 1t. This operation continues at short in tervals, so long the body of water keeps rising over certain level. The lever, gate, pipe and tank are all rigid, and hinge, pivot, on hori- zontal shaft. The gate, Hume or bsx can be mads any height width, or length desired. The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box.

HFCLIMATEOF YUMA.

The climate of Yuma for nine months of the year has no equal, as we believe, in the world, and during the remaining three months of the year, comprising June, July and August, the heat is not oppressive. Even though the thermometer in mid-sum- mer may a3 times rise above l000, and oc- casionally even reach ll00, yet, owing to the absence of moisture in the air, it is not oppressive. The atmosphere is pure, light and balmy. When the mercury marks the highest extreme of heat, person does not feel that oppression or debility which is felt in the Eastern States when the mer- cury is ranging from 8O0 to sO0. The air is so dry that precipitation is absorbed as soon as it reaches the surface of the body, and at no tune in the summer does the heat produce any discomfort.

GOLD-BUGS LAUGH.
Elatcd Over the Idea that Great
Britain Will Not Push Inter-
national Conference.

London, Aug. 26.-The Times Berlin
correspondent says: The supporters of
the gold currency are iubilant at the
statement made by Hon. A. ]. Balfour,
first lord of the treasury, in the house of
commons to the effect that the English
government will take no steps looking
to an international bimetallic conference.
The National Zeitung, the correspond
ent adds, says that "he has burst the soap
bubble which the German bimetallists
blew from the votes in the reichstag and
the Prussian diet. Undoubtedly Mr..
Balfour's statements will put an end to
the deliberations Of the federal govern
ment ON the question. Only noisy agi-
tators believe that action is possible with
England's cooperation.

LYNCHED in KENTUCKY.
A Brutal Negro Murderer Hanged
without Ceremony by People OF
His own Color.

Springfield, KY, Aug. 26.-At O'Clock
this morning, mob, composed of a
dozen men, took Harrison Lewis, the
negro who murdered Joe Brooks, also
colored, ou Friday night, from jail and
hanged him to tree in the court house
yard.
Jailer Smith was not at home and the
mob procured sledge hammers and after
three hours work succeeded in battering
down the Jail door. Lewis, with rope
around his neck, was dragged to the
nearest tree and strung up without fur
ther ceremony. 1t is the opinion that the
mob was composed of colored men.
On Friday night, Lewis went to Brooks
house, called him to the door and shot
him down on his own threshold without
warming.
The man lynched was brother of
Matthew Lewis, who narrowly escaped
lynching about twosweeks ago for an as
sault ON Mrs. Murray Shields, and who
was taken to Louisville for safe keeping.

in Favor of Free Silver Coinage

Topeka, Kas., Aug. &c. Judge Henry g.
Caldwell, of the U. s. circuit court, is here
to-day to enter decree tomorrow for
the sale of the Santa Fe road.

eyes," he answered, 81 heard some talk
of it. 1t is matter about which do not
care to talk. 1t is a uestion of individual
preference with millions of voters. So far
as am concerned, the mention of my
name in that connection is out of the
question. do not regard it as at all SER

"Would you accept if you were noml-
nated?"
DIDN'T CARE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
"I would prefer not to talk about the
matter and have had nothing to do
with whatever talk has been going the
rounds," replied Judge Caldwell, in a
manner which indicated that he would not
be averse to become the candidate of his
party.
"The people in the west understand you
are for free silver; that is where you
stand, is it notf" questioned the reporter,
changing the subject.
The face of the Judge lighted up with
enthusiasm as he answered: eyes, sir,
that is correct. am for free silver with
out reserve or reference to international
agreement. 1t is plain to me that there
can be no international agreement favor
able to silver, because England will not
agree to accept free silver. What is the
use Of paying any attention to foreign
countries anyway? Are we not capable
of managing our own affairs? Think we
are, and, il not I am in favor of annexing
the United States to Canada or some other
convenient country"
CHANGING THE SUBJECT.
Judge Caldwell takes a great deal of
pride in the dispatch with which the af-
fairs of the Santa Fe road have been ad-
justed since the road has been in charge
Of his court.
"All of the parties," said he, "are
anxious to get the property out of court
and 1t is believed that the decree will be
carried into effect and that the purchasers
will come into possessisn of the property
within sixty days. AS far as the Frisco and
Atlantic g. Pacific roads are concerned it
will require some time longer. The pres
ent receivers of the Santa Fe will be con-
tinued as the receivers and be in charge
of the other two lines until their affairs
are adjusted and the roads are taken out
of the hands of the court"
"Do you think the Frisco and Atlantic
& Pacific roads will be continued under
kho ~ H.
'No one can tell until the roads are
taken out of the receivers hands but l
am of the opinion that the bondholders
are in favor of continuing the manage
ment as one great system"

BUSINESS is BETTER.
Banking Record Reviewed by the
New York Financier.

New York, Aug. 26.-Tne New York
Financier says: The statement OF the
associated banks of this city for the week
ending August "a was favorable one in
every way. 1t was marked 3ya healthy
increase in loans, contraction of de-
posits and consequent shrinkage in the
reserve. The past week has witnessed a
great change in the conditions hereto
fore prevailing in the money market.
There has been no advance iu rates, but
railway development points to an early
season of better figures for loans. The
movement of money from the interior
did not nearly equal the shipments from
this center to the south and west, more
especially to the latter section.
1t is not expected that gold shipments
will assume much larger proportions,
since the reaction in exchange rates has
removed the chances of making much
profit on transfers of coin.
The expansion of $2,2573OO in loans
during the week represents business done
with country banks and demands from
commercial sources, as we'll as from
some of the larger stock exchange
houses.

refuse permission for an appeal upon this
