ARIZONA.
 Arizona stands at the threshold Of sn 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 d day of great pr0s- perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of new and emer- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people while the cumulative effect ct many things, which made but small i'm pression as they transpireh singly, is now commanding for her full share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which ha, e hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership There Is a scramble for franchises Nothing more surely indicates 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 d 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 territor; ;-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating fund of substantial edith 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 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 Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predOminating element. It think it is ceI tain 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.
