Pushing the canvass in this city for
subscriptions to the fund. So far he
has secured about 300 suibscripiMons,

the amount suibscr'ibedl. HeI finds, he
says, that dozens of men say they will
subscribe, but ask himn to COlme back
later. This Is hampering the work
badly ,and he urges that all try to say
exactly what they can give when he
calls. It is of great importance for

must lbe secured by subscriptions at

feeling exactly secure. came to the

local dealer in wagons and buggies,
having been informed by Morris and
Bray that they had sold Mr. Cantrell
a car load of buggies. TliS proved to
he a tale without any foundaion after
a short conference with that gentle
man. Bridwell then appeared before
Magistrate Kirby and had a warrant
issued against the two men. At the

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
A Decree That Shiows the Progress of
the World's Thought
CZAR OF RUSSIA GROWS LIBERAL
L.ocal Self-Government Granted in
Some Instances-A Long Step in
Advance.
$t. Petersburg, Bly Cable.--hl'e Czar
has piiblishei a decree providing for
freedmen of religion throughout his
(omainl'ons, establishing to some de
gre.' lo:al celf-govcr11nmen;, and nak
ing oth"r conlessions to t. village
Coiimittc'(s. The decree, Wltich was is
sted in Co)il inenoration of the anni
versary of '.he birthday of Alexanider
lii, is colsi(dere( to be the most sig
nlilicanlt act of state since the em11tUne1i
pation of the serfs. 'I'he public hails
it as tie Proclamation of anl era open
ing up bright prospects of the e:urcy
ill proveiuent. of Ittissianl inlternaI ad
im inistration. The text of the decree is
in part as follows:
''The trouble agitating our country,
which to our (e(1 regret have partly
been sown by designs hostile to the
State and partly engendered by doe
trines foreign to Russian life, hinder
the general work of aneliorating the
well-being of our people. These trou
bles confuse the pli)hi mini remove
the people from lrod(uctive Iabor, anid
of('ten1 ruit families dear to ou:" heart,
an(1 yo,ng elicgies amon1' 1g high and1(
low, neccssary to the inicrll dlevelop
mentt of the cotuntry. In dlemianding;
the fullfillaent of this, our will, while
rentainling strongly oppose'd to any vlo
lation of the normal course of natlon'
life, and having con!iden(e that all
will loyally dischalr c theuir local (I1u
ties, we are irrevcocably decided to
tatisfy the necl for wVhi(h the State
has hecome ripe an'l have dceuil it
xp("dient to strengthen and decree it,
expedient to observanmce of the 'rin
ciples of tolerance laid iown by the
fundamental laws of the llmssian lin
pire, which, recognizing the Orthodox
Church as the ruling one, grant to all
our subjects of other religious and to
all foreign persuasions freedom of
creed and worship in aecordance with
ather rites; and we are further resolv
?2d to continue t.he active carrying out
of measures for the improvement of
the material position of the orthodox
rural clergy, while enabling them to
take a larger share in intellectual and
public life.
"In accordance with impending
measures for the consolidation of the
national economy, the efforts of the
State credit institutions and especially
the nobles and peasants banks should
be directed to strengthening and de
Veloping the welfare and fundamental
liillars of Russian village life and that
of the local nobility and peasantry.
These principles marked out by us for
the (lisposition of the laws of the rural
population are, when formulated, to be
referred to the provincial government
councils, so that with the assistance
of persons enjoying the public's conii
(ence, they may be further developed
tlnd adapted to the special conditions
of individual localities. This funda
mental principle of the inviolability of
co0mmunal property is to be maintain
ed, while at the same time means are
to he found to render it, easier for the
indivadilal to server eonnlie.tionis with
the community to whiich lhe belongs, if
he- so desires.
"Without delay measures nmust lie
taken to reiease the peasants from the
present bu rdensome l iabi lily oif en
forced labor.
"Thriough reforms are to be effeetedl
in the priovincial governmmenits ainld dis
tricts adlimiistrationial by the local
representatives, while attention will
be dlevotedl to seuring closer co-oper
ationi between t,he communal authiori
ties and parochial trustees of the Or
thodox churches wherever piossibile.
''Calling upon all oui sulbjects to eo
operate in strengthening the foundla
tions of families, school and publ ie life
under which alone the well-being of
the people and the confidence of every
one in the stablity of his rights can
develop, we cmmiand of our ministers
and chIef officials concorned in thih
matter- to submit to uis th.eir views me
