AzTEcs ARE A STRONG RACE.
Agave Plant Supplies Them Will
Drink, Food and Clothing.

The Aztecs of old were not only
great soldiers, but also diligent Guilt
vators of the soil, and had acquired
considerable proficiency in agriculture,
although they had no horses, oxen Or
other animals of draft. To this day
the men earn their living chiefly as
day laborers in the fields now owned
by tine Mexicans.
The staple products now, as of yore,
is the maize, and next to it the maguey
or agave, the sweet sap of which is
the principal material for the famous
Mexican pulque. Some species are
cultivated as vegetables, others for
the sake of their leaves, which yield
strong fiber that can be woven into
fabrics Hence the saying that the
agave supplies the people with drink,
food and clothing. The mon have lit
tie ambition to excel in haadicraft.
Farriery and carpentry are about the
only trades they care to take up In
the cities they work as porters, car
riers, or peddlers in a small way,
I~IIAC ctIl SOuIllCL IL lIQIdIS, CLCII COull-
plexion is Of a ruddy chocolate brown
and they are not particularly good
looking. Most of the women now have
large hands and feet, probably the in
heritance OF generations of hard
workers. And they are strong. In
the warehouse of a wine merchant an
Aztec porter was seen to take cask
of claret on his back and carry it quite
distance The load certainly
weighed net less than 400 pounds and
no white man would have thought OF
lifting it
The law requires the people in the
cities to forsake the Indian breech
cloth and poncho and assume the reg
ulation garb of the poor working claso
of Mexico the wide, loose trousers Of
cotton cloth or manta, with Jacket to
match-but the breechcloth is worn
outside Of the trousers and thereby
replaces the civilized srI5penders.

Denver, March 3.-The report of the
minority republican members OF the
gubernatorial contest committee rec
ommends that the contest filed by Gov
emory Peabody be dismissed, as he did
not receive a plurality Of legal votes
for governor. Chairman Griffith and
the three other representatives who
signed the report find that there was
much fraud perpetrated by the demo
cratic party in Denver, but that it was
confined to 48 precincts. They recon-
mend that the vote of these precincts
be excluded from the total. The fol
lowing are set forth as facts:
"That the confession asks that the
returns of 104 precincts in the city
and county of Denver be rejected.
"That the only legal evidence OF
fraud introduced by the confession to
sustain the rejection of the returns
from 55 of said precincts was that of
experts on handwriting in regard to
the tactics of fraudulent voters.
"That so far as these Sc precincts
are concerned the evidence of contes
tee most successfully discredited and
controverted the handwriting experts
and the re-check evidence of the con
testOr.
"That to reject the returns from the
said Sc precincts is to disfranchise
$4,000 honest voters without any just
or legal reason.
"That if the said Sc precincts are
not rejected the case of the confession
fails, even though all his claims of
fraud in the outside counties are sus.
tanned, by a plurality for the contestee
of 1872"
The report says the evidence con
corning outside counties was conflict
ing and that Adam plurality is 1878,
latter having decided every question
of doubt in favor of the confession"
That this conclusion was reluctantly
reached is evidenced by the following
paragraph in the report:
Before closing this report the un-
dersigned desire to say that it has not
been an easy or pleasant task for them
to file this report and thus differ with
their republican colleagues on the
joint contest comn1ittee. Their desire
and inclination was to be able to de-
eide in favor of the confession and join
with their said colleagues in findings
and recommendations to that effect.
They have taken this step only after
the most mature and deliberate con-
sideration of the evidence in the case"

Madison, March 3.


It is said in the capitol corridors
that a railroad rate commission will
surely be established at the present
session of the legislature. 1t is said
that Senators Kreutzer, Whitehead and
Hagemeister will work and vote for
the passage of the necessary law and
will in fact be found close to the adj
ministration in this piece of legisla-
ton. None of these senators desires
to be approached on this subject, but
there is reason, nevertheless, for be-
lieving that the report is substantially
true.
Yesterday morning unanimous con-
sent was granted Senator Kreutzer to
introduce a new bill in the form of an
amendment to the original Hatten bill
the new measure is merely a peffec'
ton of the Hatten bill and involves the
ideas not only of Senator Kreutzer
but of Senator Hatten and others. 1t
is said that the Kreutzer substitute in
wolves he most satisfactory provisions
of all the bills ON the subject now be-
fore the legislature. 1t provides for an
appointive commission and differs from
the Hatten bill only in details, making
the powers of the commission more
explicit, and providing that the COM
modify rates now in force shall re
main until changed by the commission.

is not preacher, but he keeps in

know more about and do more to
shape public sentiment than any other
class of men in southern communities,
