ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of su 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 permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere amon2 her people, while the cumulative effect ut many things, which made but small i'm pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her 8 full share of atteu- ton and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken l 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 aud 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 thinE, it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. ~"Fitz- Mac" in Denver l News

ATLANTIC CITY ACCIDENT.
Railing of the Board Walk Gave Way
and Many Persons Fell.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 1.-Whiie a
crowd OF people were standing on the
board walk at the foot OF Missouri avenue
this afternoon watching efforts being
made to revive d man who had been nearly
drowned while bathing. the rail OF the
more of people were precipitated fifteen
feet to the sand below.
Three people were seriously hurt and a
number were badly bruised. Those badly
hurt were: Bella Schermer, 103 Day street.
Philadelphia, leg broken: Mamie Fisher
1870 Rose street, Philadelphia. shoulder
disiocsted. Lizzie Springer, head cut.
Robert Hart, aged Twenty-Five. of No
116 East Cumberland street, Phiiadel-
phia, ventured beyond his depth while
bathing at the foot OF Missouri avenue,
and was rescued In an unconscious con-
iition by Life Guard Neel Loder The
rescue was witnessed by big crowd
from the board walk, and when Hart was
lifted out OF the boat and stretched out on
the sand to be revived the onlookers
pushed and jostled each other in the effort
to see the man.
The pressure of the crowd upon the tenl-
porary wooden rail proved too heavy and
the board broke, throwing twenty or
thirty men and women to the sand. The
shrieks of the injured and frig htened
people created a momentary panic on the
BOARD walk, and the crowd broke and fled
in fear that the whole structure was about
to fall. Confidence was speedily restored,
and it was soon found that only the three
women were badly hurt, although num-
Ter of other people were bruised and shaken
up. The women were taken to the already
overcrowded sanitarium, where their in
jpries were attended to.

KISSED JACK" ROBINSON.
The Congressman Met Gov. st. join
in Il Financial Debate.

The Congressman Met Gov. st. John
in Financial Debate.
Birdsboro, Pa, Aug 1.-The Iirst public
debate Oh the money question in the cam
paign in Pennsylvania WAS held today at
the Joanna Heights camp meeting grounds.
Ex-Gov. st. John OF Kansas, the noted
prohibitionist, W no Ia S cultivated, to use
his own words, as great love for free
silver as he has hatred of free rum, was
pitted against Congressman Jack" Rob-
inson of Delaware county as the sound
money advocate.
The debate was married by an incident
which created some excitement near the
close of the meeting, in which Congress-
man Robinson was the central figure.
Owing to the fact that the managers and
most of the attendants at the Temper
ance Assembly, which il In session at
the camp grounds, are sympathizers with
ex-Gov. St. John'ss silver wing of the
Prohibition party, the latter had a ma
joffty OF the audience in his favor. Their
sympathies led to q demoastrative outbreak
against Robinson, which angered the fiery
Delaware county Congressman and came
near causing a scene.
1t happened this way: Mr.. Robinson
turned to ask whether the silver mine
owners would not reap q profit OF a
ceRts on every silver dollar they womb
have minted under a free coinage act
"No. SIR was the response. Tho
value OF silver will at once go to a parity
of 16 to 1 with gold after the passage
of free coinage act, and the bullion will
be worth a. much as the minted roney-
RolAnsop Immediately rejoined that "No
nau can shove such a failacious theory

Proposed Tampering.

Has nothing 10 say Regarding the
Proposed Tampering.
Lincoln, Neb, Aug. 1.-The attention
of Mr. Bryan was called tonight to the
statement concerning alleged tamperins
with the Democratic national platform SO
as TO make it contain the rejected amend
ment proposed by Senator Hill.
Mr. Bryan refused to be interviewed on
the subject but said he supposed the ma
tional committee would at the proper
time circulate the platform in its correct
form. A number OF kilograms have been
received by Mr. Bryan in regard to the
iuatter and it is understood that he has
answered them in accordance with the
statement given.
Mr.. Bryan will not make any set speeches
on bis trip between Lincoln and New
York, but he will probably address crowds
at many places en- route. The Journey
vania and New Jersey will be made in
the daytime.
1t is evident that every demonstration
in his favor along the route of his journey
east will be responded to with semi political
addresses such as those be delivered in
Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska on bis
way to Lincoln.
Hon. Richard =. Bland, Mr.. Bryan's
unsuccessful competitor for the Demo
cratic nomination, will accompany Mr..
Bryan TO New York and will probably
speak at the Madison Square Garden meet
ing. He will go as the nominees guest.
Mr.. Bland is expected here Friday.
