ARIZONA.


 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 upbuildiDg just be fore her. The impulse of new and -nrr gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small i'm 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 sprung up for the'possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership There is scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely yindicates 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 chmacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, then down, the clouds of despondency of energizing hope has thrilled the droop-
  braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pleti6n 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- cun1nlating fund of substantial wealth and force of moral character which p0 0o1f hor fO vie fol1 har 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 Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. -"Fitz- Mac," in Denver News.
