Probably the strangest mixture of
the ancient and the modern, and of
Christian and pagan rites, which can
be seen in the world today. Is the an
nual Mexican festival of the "Mata
chines."
No white man can tell exnctly what
Is the significance of this festival,
which Is celebrated tn all parts of
the Mexican republic .every sitring.
Those who take part in it are typi
cal Mexicans of Indian and Spanish
blood, with some purebred Indians
among them. The fiances are much
like the war and harvest dances of the
Apaches, Comanches and other south
western Indians, except that many of
the dancers nourish swords, and wear
by way of decoration, the tin tops of
beer bottles.
The dancing is kept up for two or
three days, and the ceremony ends
with a dance about a great wooden
cross which Is set on a high hill near
tile town. This would seem to show
a Christian influence, and It probably
does, but the cross is known to have
been sacred to ancient Aztecs. In
deed, thl&.whole ceremony Is undoubt
edly one of Aztec origin, with Chris
tian elements added.
This bewildering mixture of pagan
and Christian religion Is seen through
out the Southwest. The “Penitentes
Hermanos” of Mexico and New Mexi
co are another example. On every
Good Friday they whip theumelves un
til the blood comes, as a penance, and
crucify one of their number with
ropes. These fanatics claim to be
Christians, hut their practices have
been condemned by the church, and
like the Matachines can be traced back
to Aztec times.
Use of the Injunction Is a feature
of the law almost as old as the Insti
tution of trial by jury. It was first
used In 1382, when the king of Eng
land empowered the chancellor to issue
writs restraining the barons from over-
. riding the common law courts. The
principle of injunction dates back fur-
■ ther still to Roman law: "It is clas
sified in the Inw as one of the ‘ex
traordinary writs.' Its essential pur
pose Is to prevent the doing of a wrong
whose effects. If consummated, would
, be irreparable.
In other words. In-
stead of waiting for a threatened
wrong to work Its damage, which a
law court might redress by punishment
or the assessment of damages, the
equity court steps In with Its ‘extraor
dinary writ’ of Injunction to prevent
the damage being done. Its twin Is
mandamus, which commands perform
ance of certain rights nnd duties, while
the province of injunction Is to forbid
performance of certain acts which
might interfere with rights or result
in wrongs.”
