MEXICAN MEscAL.
A Triple of LowIy Origin But a Head
spinner All the Same.


The humble but inspiring mescal is
derived from such imposing scientific
terms as the aguaye Americana, mag
uey and American aloe. In his report
to Agricultural Secretary Rusk, Special
Agent Postou. says the plant is species
Of the numerous family of cacti indig-
enous to Arizona, Southern California,
Texas, New Mexico and Mexico. The
Aztecs, when found by the Spaniards,
used the plant for cordage. mating
brooms, brushes, shoes, bedding and
various domestic purposes. They roasted
the pulp for food and fermented the
juice into ''pulque." The latter has
beeni improved by modern civilization
into that strong but not repulsive drink
called mescal. The maguey plant
natures in seven years, becoming
cabbage-headed in shape, with prickly
guards. 1t weighs from twenty-five to
fifty pounds. The various layers, as
roasted by the natives, are nutritious
and purgative. The pulp is fermented
in rawhide vat The City of Mexico
drinks 250, 900 pints of pulque daily, or
a pint per capita, which ratio prevails
generally throughout Mexico, pulque
being the national beverage like wine
in France, beer in Germany or "budge'
in Yankeedom. Mescal flowers make
excellent honey. Deer and antelope
seek them eagerly. The stalk OF the
plant grows twelve to twenty feet high,
and is used in Mexican domestic ar
chitecture. Mescal distilleries are very
simple and more secret than any moon
sinners still. Maguey has been inn
memorially cultivated in old Mexico,
but is not raised north of the line. In
Arizona for twenty-five years past mes
cal has averaged $3.50 per gallon new,
with 81 added for each year of matur-
ity. A higher grade article is called
tequile, and is worth over SO per gall
Ion.

Ones first impression on seeing al
ostrich is that he needs another prop
under him. The feeling is heightened
when he goes to walk, and he himself
seems conscious that his center of
gravity is a long way above ground,
for he goes teetering along as though
exercising great care to keep his legs
well under him.

The McCook tribune., 1891-01-23

That eminent peanut politician.
David B. Hill, was Wednesday
elected to succeed Senator Evarts
of New York. The deal was car
ried through according to the ar
rangements made by the party
bosses without the slightest varia-
ton from the published pro-
gramme. The goods were wrap
ped up and delivered and the new
senator was made. No investiga-
tion into the qualifications Of Mr..
Hill to fill such an important posi-
ton was made. The rank and
file Of the party had nothing to
say. It was simply a business
transaction engineered for the ben
eft of the professional politicians.
New York is ostensibly under a
republican form of government,
but in the trifing little matters of
electing public officers and saying
what shall be done with the pub
lie funds the people are mot in it. -
journal.
The McCook tribune., 1891-01-23

The adoption by the house Of
Mr.. Shrader's resolution inviting
cooperation Of the states west of
the Mississippi in the revision Of
their usury and stay laws is a
move in the right direction. The
wisdom Of this course is obvious.
Ii the usury and stay laws are re-
vised in manner to appear undu-
ly hostile to capital, capital will
endeavor to retaliate by withdraw
ing from the state or states in
which such Legislation is enacted.
If Nebraska should be more arbi-
trary than Minnesota, Kansas OF
Colorado, investors and capitalists
would give them the preference
over Nebraska. If, however, an
agreement can be reached by which
all the granger states in the north
west would enact laws that were
uniform as regards the legal rate
of interest, penalties for usury and
right of redemption after foreclos-
ure, the results desired by the debt
or class would be achieved without
bringing them into a conflict with
their creditors.-Bee.

dent Harrison sent into the senate the
nomination of Hon. James P. Lindsay
of Beaver City, to be Register Of the
McCook land Office, vice Hon. s. P.
Hart, whose term of Office expires on
the 28th of February. The appoint
ment is a thoroughly good one and will
be highly acceptable. Mr.. Lindsay has
served two terms as state senator from
this district with conspicuous ability.
He is rising young lawyer, clever
gentleman, and the Office will fall into
good and capable hands when the ex-
senator assumes charge.
The McCook tribune., 1891-01-23

BECAUSE Mr.. Thayer has vacat-
ed the executive apartments in re-
sponse to the order of the board of
public works it does not follow
that he admits Mr.. Boyd's election.
On the contrary he maintains Wig
orously his original position that
he (Thayer) is governor, and that
until the question of Mr.. Boyd's
eligibility is settled any executive
act by the latter is null and void.
Thayer's REIMBURSEMENT of the Of
flee does not, of course, effect the
proceedings begun by him in the
supreme court.
