 ARIZONA.
 krizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social an1 industrial de- veiopment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited solong 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 enel 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 sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is a scramble fof franchises. Nothing nor surely indicates a~great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest arc falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lend IS than this. i Arizona has reachei 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. t:e clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and a sunhurst of cnergizing 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 ot railroad across her erritory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating a fund of substantial wealtE and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise ur and take hel destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is mistake of great importance fro'- the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, thc 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.
