The Arizona sentinel., 1896-05-02

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of a day of great pros perity and prmanent upbuildiDg just be- fore her The impulse of a new and ener- glHns hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things. which made but small inn pression as they y.anspired singly, is now commanding ... her a full share of atten- ra- and in-erlt abroad among home seekers and capita i=ts.
 4 lively expedition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto tg-e gone a-begging for ownership. There Is a 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 com 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 a 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 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 Tucson, 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 >"Fitz- Mac," in Denver News.

THE CLIMATE OF YUMA

The climate of Yuma for hine months .l lhegear has hoe.gaI as We believe. .a tn-
 El. and during the remaining tlle- months Of the year. comprising '0-e, July and August. the heat is Lot oppressive. Even though the -Imometer in mid-sum- r,rr may a2 ..mes rise above lO0', and oc- cas- .ually even reach ll00, yet, owing to the absence of moisture in the air, 1t 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 SO0 to 9O0. The air is so dry that perspiratIon is absorbed as soon as it reaches the surface of the body, and at no time in the summer does the heat produce any discomfort.

AN ACTOR HORsEwHIPPED.
Not on the Bills But Was a Good
Card.

Card.
In the third act OF "Othello," at
Columbus, o., Friday, Louis James's
leading man, Guy Lindsey, was horse
whipped on the stage in full view of
the audience by woman, who leaped
at that moment from one of the boxes,
whip in hand.
At the station house later, she gave
her name as Georgia Kimball, and said
her home was in st. Louis. The as
sault was made at the close of the act
where Othello seized Iago and chokes
him. James was playing Othello and
Lindsey Iago.
James was dumfounded. He stood
speechless On the stage while Lindsey,
recognizing his assailant, rose to his
feet, stammering to James, "This wo-
man is from st. Louis" while the au-
dience went wild with excitement.
Without the least interference being
made the woman continued to belabor
Lindsey. Finally some one rang down
the curtain and policeman rushed in
and placed the woman under arrest.
The play proceeded with the rest of
that act omitted.
The woman said Lindsey was for
merly her lover, and that they had ar
ranged to be married, but the time was
never set. Under the influence of her
mother and his brother he had dis
carded her. His scorn had so enraged
her that she came directly from st.
Louis to administer this hogging.

NJ Monod, of the French Academy OF
Medicine, gives a striking account Of
the results of anti-toxin treatment for
diphtheria. In 10S towns Of over 90
COO Inhabitants the average number Of
deaths from diphtheria in the first six
months of each year from 1888 to 1894
was 1927 At the end of 1894 the Pas
tour Institute began sending out anti.
toxin to practitioners in those towns.
And the total number of deaths in the
first six months Of 1895 was only 904.
That indicates a decrease in morality
from that one cause Of more than 90
per cent.

BLECKLEY FOR THE SENATE.

nOunces Himself.
Ex-Chief Justice Logan j. Bleckley,
of Georgia, has announced his candi-
dacy for the United States senate. The
announcement was raade at the Grand
opera house, Atlanta, and was received
with applause. It was a small audi
ence, but it was appreciatiVe.
The announcement appeared to be,
the secret of a free lecture which
the former chief justice of Georgia
had announced in the daily papers
and by posters personally distrib-
uted. He stated early in his adj
dress that he had rented the thea
ter, had contracted for the adj
vertising and had made all the ar
rangements himself, and would per-
sonally bear ell the expenses. This he
said was to crafty lifelong ambition
which he had felt to run complete
show himself.
The lecture was advertised as q
mystery, and it proved to be one, IN

candidacy came,

limited scale at first.
Winter dairying requires great

Wood ashes can be used on any kind

1t is not an easy matter to determine
the profit from a crop, as the cost of
the plant food and the condition of the
land after the crop is removed must
also be considered.

SOMEONE is going to fare badly at
the hands of the scorcher bicyclist. 1t
may be the bicyclist, or it may be an
innocent child, or somebody's mother;
but at any rate it is in all likelihood
going to be the bicyclst who is at
fault. There is an ordinance prohibit
ing reckless riding. and limiting the
speed of bicyclist to a very reason
able pace. This ordinance is by some,
mostly younger boys, entirely disre-
garded for at any hour in the day
they can be seen racing up and down
the streets, to the great danger of Pc
destrians and fellow bikists. If the
boys don't quit riding so fast, we
would suggest that they are very
good field for the new Mayor to Try his
hand on.
Another matter, while we are on the
subject of bicyclists, that is the riding
of persons, mostly girls, in row, side
by-side, taking up great part of the
street. 1t is frequently done, and it
disturbs horse very much to get by,
often frightening the animal, and put
ting panic in the breasts of the driv-
er and occupants. Bicyclists must be
reasonable, and they must also re-
member that in the matter of rights
horses and their drivers are entitled to
fair consideration.
We do not think the infractions men
toned are especially intended to Of
fend, but they are very careless to say
the least
