RELIGIOUS LIBERTY A Decree That Stums the Progress ol the World's Thought CZAR OF RUSSIA GROWS LIBERAL Local Self-Government Granted in Some Instances A Long Step in Advance. St. Petersburg, By Cable. The Czar has published a de ree providing ftfr freedom of religion throughout hia dominion?, establishing to tome de gree local fcelf-govcrnment and mak icg other concessions to the village cornuiittits. The decree, which was U tued in commemoration of the anni versary of the biihday of Alexander III, is considered to be the most sig nificant act of state since the emanci pation of the serfs. The public hailB it as the proclamation of an era open ing up bright prospects of the ear.y improvement of Russian internal ad ministration. The text of the decree is in part as follows: "The trouble agitating our country, which to our deep regret have partly been sown by designs hostile to the State and partly engendered by doc trines foreign to Russian life, hinder the general work of ameliorating the well-being of our people, lhcsc trou bles confuse the public mind, remove the people from productive labor, and often ruin families dear to our heart and young energies among high and low, necessary to the internal develop ment of the country. Jn demanding the fulfillment of this, our will, while remaining strongly opposed to any vio lation of the normal course of national life, and having confidence that ail will loynlly discharge their local du ties, we are irrevocably decided to satisfy the needs for which the Ptato has become ripe and have deemed it expedient to strengthen and decree it expedient to observance of the prin ciples of tolerance laid down by the fundamental laws oLthe Russian Em 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 accordance with other riies; and we are further resolv ed to continue the active carrying out of measures for the improvement of the material position of the orthodox rural clergy, while enabling them to rake a larger share in inteiiectual and public life. "In accordance with impending measures for the consolidation of the national economy, the efforts of the Stat) credit institutions ami especially tho nobles and peasants hanks fihouid be directed to strengthening and de veloping the welfare and fundamental pillars or Russian village life and that of the Io.al nobility and peasantry. These principles marked out by us for the disposition cf the laws of the rural population are, when formulated, to be referred to the provincial government councils, so that with the ussittar.ee of persons enjoying the public's confi dence, thej may be further develoncd and adapted to the special conditions or individual localities. This funda mental principle of the inviolability of communal property is to be maintain ed, while at the same time means are to be found to render it easier for the individual to server connections with the community to which he belongs, if he- so desires. "Without delay measures must bo taken to release the peasants from the present burdensome liability of en forced labor. "Through reforms arc to be effected in the provincial governments and dis tricts administrations! by the local representatives, while attention will be devoted to securing closer co-oper ation between the communal authori ties and parochial trustees of the Or thodox churches wherever possible. "Calling upon all our subjects to co operate in strengthening: the founda tions of families, school and public life under which alone tho well-being of the people and the confidence of every one in the stabiity of his rights can develop, we command of our ministers and chief officials concerned in this matter to submit to us their views re garding the execution of our inten tions."
