TETxTClNoO< INDIANS.

village of Interesting Mexlcans In the
State Of Moreloa.
Tetxtcingo is the euphonious name OF
village of one thousand inhab-
itants, in the district of Morelos,
state Of Morelos, which has pre-
served the customs and the Ian
guage Of its founders, who settled there
in the remote past. The inhabitants,
says the Mexican Herald, are all Indians
Of the purest Mexican or Aztec blood;
they scorn the idea of intermixture or
intermArriage with any other re ,e.
Their boast is that they are pure Mex
leans. They all speak the native Ian
guage; few understand Spanish, but
the great majority do not know one
word of it.
The men wear their hair long and
plated in tail like a Chinaman. They
wear short pants, like those used by
bathers, made of deer skin or of cotton
woven by their women. The shirt, or
body dress, is made of cotton cloth also
woven at home. The women dress en-
tirely in homespun material, and never
comb their hair, which they wear rolled
up in ball on the top of the head, and
over 1t they put jicara made from
common gourd. They live upon corn
and fruits and the flesh of animals and
birds trapped in the forest and hills.
They consume nothing whatever that
is imported, and they support them
selves entirely by their native produc-
lions. Gov. Alarcon, of the state OF
Morelos, told Herald representative
that robberies are totally unknown in
the village.

The last legislature of Idaho has
much to answer for because Of the
failure to properly pass laws which
were endorsed BY the people.
Election Of . United States senator
consumed 20 mach valuable time
that important measures were
pending up to the last moment Of
tho legislative session. To get
these bills through it was thought
wise to pass them without reading
in full, although the last feature is
required by the constitution Of the
state. Idaho's criminal code was
defective and the lawbreaker had
numerous loophOles by which to
evade just punishment for his
wrong doing, hence such laws were
introduced. He is not slow to
evade them now. In the last
three months half Q dozen laws
passed by the state legislature have
been declared illegal by the su-
preme court on constitutional
grounds. Failure to pass these
laws in proper form was due to
nothing but carelessness. In these
days Of civil service reform and
examination for fitness in every
department Of the government it
might be well to require that q
candidate for the legislature be ex-
amined as to his understanding Of
the constitu ton of his state. II he
is found deficient the state could
make no better investment than to
start q night school and educate
him. It appears strange that the
Idaho senate had not one man who
was sufficiently acquainted with
the constitution to know that a
bill can not be made a law without
having been read in full by sec
tions on the third and final read
ing. If the decisions Of the SUI
preme court are Of any value the
Idaho public is forced to believe
that the last state senate lacked
that one man.
