THE MEXICAN PEOPLE.

Kansas City Journal--It would be
interesting to know Just what per cent
of the population of Mexico Is Spanish
and what per cent is native Indian
The Mexican population Is composed
almost entirely of these two elements.
1t fortunately never has become mixed
with the negro blood that has tainted
all other Latin-American races whose
countries touch the shores Of the At
lantic ocean and Gulf of Mexico.
The Mexican. in spirit, in action, and
in results accomplished. is quite un-
like his Central and South American
brethren. He seems to be capable Of
self government in high degree. He
is not revolutionary. He is less i'm

Spanish and the quiet self possession
of the Indian. But, nevertheless, he is
intensely progressive. Mexico is the
most prosperous and highly developed
of the Latin American republics. Rail
roads and other public improveents are
keeping pace with steadily increas-
ing population. New mines are COM
stantly being opened, arabic and Gull
tivated areas added to, the material
resources of the land vigorously ex-
plotted, and as result the statistics
Of each successive year show a greater
volume of trade, foreign and domestic
Mexico has been looked upon as a
safe place for investments. 1t seems
to have neither booms nor panics.
