Evans, FORCES pishandine.

HAzLEroN, Pa, March 29.-W. A. Evans,
lieutenant of Coxey's common veal army, is
hard at work to-day endeavoring to keep his
forces from disbanding. Evans, however, is
pronounced in his promises. He has received
bushels of letters of offers of assistance. Many
of these communications are from cranks who
make extravagant expressions commencing
the movement. 1t is understood that Evans
has already framed a new political platform
which is to be a conspicuous feature OF the
demonstration at Washington.

Minister Mendonca yesterday said that he
had received no information from Brazil re-
garding the probable course Of President
Peixoto toward the surrendered revolution
lists, and consequently would neither affirm
nor deny the report that they would be exc
cuted without trial under the imperial DEGREES
OF 1888 and 1851
These DEGREES OF the empire, the minister
said, are still part of the law of Brazil. as the
republic has repealed only such OF the old
laws as came in conflict with its systerl, They
merely carry into effect, he said, established
laws OF warfare. which permit the summary
execution of insurrectionists who are captured
under arms or surrender Internationally, and
prescribe the details of the manner in which
the prisoners shall be executed.
Shooting is the form of death demanded by
these laws and they provide for more sum-
mary process even than the drumhead court
martial which is the shortest form OF military
trial common to most nations.

FOR A UTOPIA IN AFRICA.
Socialists to Found There brotherhood of
Man. and Maintain u with Maxim Guns.

1t is stated by the Manchester Guar
dian that negotiations are proceeding
for the establishment OF the free
land" colony in East Africa. where it is
intended to make an attempt. on a
scale never before contemplated. to
carry out the idea of socialistic COM
munity. 1t is in Austria that the idea
originated. and the district selected
for the experiment is Lykipia. near
Mount Kcnia. in the British sphere OF
influence. Representations have been
made to the British foreign Office and
an offer made to purchase a large tract
of country on the condition that while
the community shall be subject to any
general laws which the British gov
eminent may make, they shall have
absolute freedom to regulate their in
ternal affairs on socialistic basis.
The experiments made in America and
elsewhere have failed. il is said, be-
cause they were tried on too small a
highest hopes are entertained that, re-
mote from the bad example Of society
as at present organized, and with am
pie elbow room for development, the
new community will show to the
world what may he done by men and
women devoted to the socialistic ideal.
The British government Is averse to
giving absolute rights Of ownership
over the large tract Of land in ques-
ton. but the organizers of the new
movement nre apparently very much
in earnest. They have secured a leader
Of the expedition to the new promised
land in the person of Herr Dcuhardt,
who is well known on the east coast Of
Africa. and part of the equipment Of
the new community is to be Maxim

M'KiNLErs CRAFTSMANSHIP.
One Of the Smallest Politicians Who Eves
Reached National Dfstlnction.

Gov. William Mckinley is flying from
one part OF the country TO the other on
n sprech-making tour, and is showing
himself 10 the people with as much in
dustry as u ward candidate for Office
displays in the spring campaign. lie
is keeping himself before the public
with the persistence Of patent medi-
cine advertisement on dead walls and
board fences Evidently he does not
mean that the voters shall forget him
for day.
Gov. Mckinley is one of the smallest
politicians who ever reached national
distinction in this country. lie is not
statesman. He is not a scholar. He
is not an orator. Accident. that Is. his
luck, has boosted him into conspicu-
Gus place, and has "biazcd" for him q
track through the political woods
toward the presidency.
Gov. Mckinley was not the real
author of the tariff bill which bears his
name. The bill was framed, in sub
stance. by the agents OF the protected
nonopolies for their own benefit Me-
kinlcy simply presented them form
a skeleton of the measure, and each
protected interest filled in the figures
for itself. ''IIow much do you want?"
was, in effect, the question asked Of
each monopoly. and according as it
was answered the tariff was fixed The
completed bill, as il received Mckin-
ley's name, was mere indication. in
the various scheduled items, Of the ex-
tent and intensity of monopoly greed
in establishing the amount Of 'protec-
ton" that il was TO enjoy.
There is no measure of government
except the highest and most uncon-
scionable tariff ever adopted by civ
ilized nation. with which Mckinley's
name is associated His only title to
cminence is that he was the putative
author of an enormous and extortion-
ate tax on the people of the country.
levied for the benefit of the limited
class of baron manufacturcrs-cloth
barons. iron barons, glass barons and
other monopoly barons of all degrees.
lie is not identified with the cause OF
a sound currency. with any great na-
tional policy. except the pernicious tax
policy. with any great public reform,
with any great Improvement, with any
work OF progress and American devel-
opment The chapter of accidents gave
his name to an outrageous tariff bill
which he did not frame. and it has be-
come his stock in trade-his capital in
business-tratiicking for the first Offices
in the nation.
IL may as well be admitted that early
in this year. 1894. after twelve months
of power. the democrats have not made
rs much progress as they ought to
have made in securing q successful is
sue to the presidential campaign of
.s9d. a victory then. which ought to
have been certainty now. has been
placed in peril. But there is abundant
time and there will be plenty of oppor-
tunitics to retrieve the errors that have
been made and to enter upon winning
campaign.
To that end it is probably best that
the republicans should nominate Nc
Kinley for president The republican
platform, properly interpreted. reads:
up with taxes; death to commerce, +"
and a man should stand upon it who
represents that principle. Chicago
