Reforms in Russia.

Not since Alexander II. issued an ulase emancipating 2O,00O000 serfs, has a decree been issued in Russia so important as the one placed before the people of that country on March 10, for II assures to them religious liberty, freedom from forced labor, the loosen ing of communal fetters, reforms in rural laws, aid of banks for villagers and peasants, and the bettering of fam fly, school and public life.
 The czar desires to remove all req sonable complaints on the part of the mass of the population of Russia. He proposes to remove all bases for such agitations as the Nihilists foment, and no one who has not studied the con- munal life of Russia can appreciate how far-reaehing the proposed reforms will be- The communal system is to be retained, but a peasant and land owner may hereafter withdraw from commune, but many advantages will be extended to him If he stays. This net Of the Russian government will lift up the internal administration of the vast empire to the level of other coun- tries of the world.
 Complete religious federation is very desirable in Russia, where there are millions of people who do not belong to the Orthodox church, but even more desirable than this are the reforms which will relax the old and tyrannous practices of the mir" or village com munity. Increased powers are also to he given to the provincial and local assemblies,
 It is still a question whether the bureaucratic system that really and practically governs Russia will accept the new decree in it's. broadest and fullest meaning. If it does, there will be as much religious toleration in Rus sia as there is in England or even In America outside of New Hampshire.
 The mir is the whole world to mil lions of Russians-to the average Rus sian throughout the empire In these villages or mfrs tyranny of the worst sort has long prevailed, controlling the labor and even the person of the hum bier members of the community. He became in this way serf again, and the object of this part of the new de- cree is to complete his emancipation, giving him the right to leave the mir whenever he pleases, and also the right to control his own labor.
 The decree as a whole aims to lay basis for local self-government. It thus becomes a fixed national policy, and the manner and celerity of its execu- ton will be watched with interest throughout the world.

Special Cable to the New York Sun.


 | "A oNDoN.-The church discipline IS bill, which was passed on it's s-~ second reading in the house of commons by a majority of one is sig nifieant on account of yslat it implies, rather than what 1t actually seeks to do.
 In 1899 the constantly and always in- creasing energetic campaign against the ultra-ritualistie and Ramonlzing practices of the established church. resulted in the adoption of a resolution by the house of commons to the effect that if the efforts of the arehbisops and bishops to secure due obedience from the clergy were not speedily effeetual further legislation would be required to maintain the exist ing laws in the church realm. The famous conference at Lambeth palace may be recalled. It was held before the late Most Rev. Frederick Temple, at that time primate of all England and archbishop of Canterbury. and the archbishop of York. It resulted in a declaration of what was lawful and what was unlawful on many points The bishops were di- rected to exact obedience from the clergy, and they exhorted them Loyalty to obey the declaration.
 To a great extent the clergy coinsided with the desires of those who protested against the ultra-ritualistc practices. and for a time outward peace reigne6. Now however after avfonr- years sest of the power of the bishops, the anti ritudists declare that the bishops have failed to do their duty, and 1t is now nec- essary for parliament to provide other means than an episcopal bench, whereby offenders may be brought to book
 The bill, which passed its second read ing yesterday proposes to take from the bishops their present power of vetoing the bringing of an action against eler- l gyman who is charged with a violation of the church law according to the for mularies of the thirty-nine articles and 1 of the prayer book.
 It may be stated at once that so far as the present bench of bishops is concerned the veto power has only been exercised twice. What really is in the forefront of the present struggle Is the principle that l laymen of the Church of England should have greater voice In it's councils and that the admittedly illegal practices must be suppressed in the most drastic fash ion. From the speeches in yesterdays l debate and from the proceedings at Lam beth palace yesterday, when 120 unionist

BOTH SEXES HAVE FEM.

From the Boston Herald.
 They are having considerable fun at the expense of the solitary woman mem- Der of the Utah legislature, who has in- troduced a bill to prevent treating. By way of a stand-off. Ida Husted Harper calls attention to the fact that New York legislator has introduced bill to tax bachelors; a Pennsylvania legislator one to tax spinsters; a Missouri legisla- tor one making it a misdemeanor for man to firt with school teacher; q Louisiana legislator one compelling wom- en to wear skirts that do not touch the ground; a Montana legislator one to ap- propriate 5000 for triplets. So the honors are easy between the sexes.

NEW WORKERS ARE LAZY.

From the New York Mail and Express.
 New York people are physically lazy" said man from another city who has been spending the winter here. They take comparatively little exercise, and especially have noticed that they do not walk. If they have but a dozen blocks to go they will take a car. Now, why is this? Is it because they are lazy, as l have said, or because they do not want to take the time to walk the distance? I have thought the latter might be the reason, but on many of your street car lines little lime is gained, except on long distances"

soaped the Track.

"1here are some mschievous boys liv- ing out near my house on the High lands" said corporation official.
 Tonight as l was going home on the car when we reached Pearsons hill on Twentieth street, the car was unable to get to the top Investigation showed that some boys had soaped the rails and the wheels of the car could not do any thing but spin round while the car re- manned stationary
 Several attempts were made to start them but the cars were delayed long enough for ten or twelve of them to get banked up along Twentieth street It required about a wagon load of sand to enable them to move on.'

RITUALISM IN ANGLICAN \
 CHURCH IS INCREASN

members of parliament waited W new Archbishop of Canterbury anfA Archbishop of York to draw the "a ton of your lordships to the lack oG eipline of some of the clergy" tho 4 ent situation of the struggle may plainly seen. On all hands 1t is adrnitf that ultra-ritnalism has reached a poif absolutely demanding strong action. Tn new primate of all England said o, Wednesday:
 There are some few men defiant of tn episcopal authority and really reckless Q the true Church of England spirit. I sa, to you deliberately today that in m, view of such cases tolerance has reache, has even passed--its limits. The sand are running out Stern and drastic act are, in my judgment, quite essential , desire that we should act and ac sternly."
 Even MT. Balfour, the prime minister who opposed the bill, declared himself as 'in perfect accord with the sentiment and more deeply and passlonately con cerned with the services given in thu church even than the clergy" He addet that he did not think the bishops thor oughly realized how deep and how bit ter is the feeling in large sections of tn, most respectable laity in the country which these practices have aroused. H, declared frankly that he felt intenseI, the peril which disloyal cnurchmen wer bringing to the church to which they be long.
 Toward the end of his speech Mr. Bal four struck the note of greatest signih canoe when he said: T do not know what the future of the church is going to be. l look upon it with the greatest anxiety
 These words should be taken in con junction with those used by Sir William Vernon Hareourt. After declaring thai the doors of the law in ecclesiastical mat ters should be opened to subjects of tn, realm, the latter said: "That is what the, are entitled to under an established church. If you do not like interferenc, in this matter, disestablish the church. " Here may be seen what is dreaded by the party which Mr. Balrour called tn, historic moderate high church
 Despite the efforts of the bishops ir the past four years there has been no dE, minution in the ultra-ritualistic practices In the years 1S9S-99 incense was used ir 3Sl churches, and in 1901-O2 in 393 churches This and case after case of far more il. legal practices were quoted in yesterday'i debate.

WAS sARABeAs APUBLlsHERY

From Harper's Weekly
 The recent news of the arrest at Buda- pest of notorious gang of thieves whose chief turned out to be a publisher re- calls the story of George Augustus calas presenting a Bible to a certain London publisher who had handled some of his books. The publisher was at a loss to understand just why he should have been singled out for this peculiar gift, until some time after he discovered a slight change In the wording of John xviii. 40, where the pharse, Now, Barabbas was a robber," was made to read "Barabbas was publisher" When Miss Coreli 8 Barabbas appeared with this text on the title-page, a reviewer, quoting the words in his review, evidently indistinety written, received the proof with the amaz- ing statement, "Barabbas was a ratter.' ' Correcting it, he deemed il wise to see the review through to a finish in print, and asked for another proof. Either the proof-reader was not given to searching the scriptures, or his zeal for truth led him to overconsclentiousnes for the writer found his correction garbled to read, "Barabbas was rotter!'
