Regime and Satisfaction at Dawninq
Of Brighter Days.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 3O.-The war
in the Far East has been momentarily
thrown in the shade by the universal
acclaim with which the Russian press
this morning greets the accession OF
Prince SviatOpOlk-Mirsky to the Office
OF minister Of the interior as marking
the inauguration Of a liberal regime.
All the papers print the minister's
speech at the reception yesterday OF
the officials of the ministry, and by
the side of it by special authorization
Of the minister Of the interior, the in.
terview of the Associated Press with
the minister of Volna, Sept. 23.
Many of the papers also print the
emperOr's manifesto of 1908. The
editorials all breathe a tone of relief
at the passage Of the Won Pleheve
regime and intense satisfaction as the
dawning Of brighter days. The inter
view of the Associated Press with the
minister of the interior is regarded
as an amplification of the minister's
words to his associates. The Russ
entities its editorial "a System of
Confidence" and says:
"a year and a half have elapsed
since the manifesto was issued. but
the former minister was far from en-.
cOuraging the cooperation of the peo.
pie concerned. He deliberately ex.
cluded them and fostered an atmo
sphere of mutual suspicion. The new
minister realizes that the only way
to obtain actual results Is to give
lasting effect to the liberal pledging
of certain manifesto take the people
into his confidence and ask for the
the hearty cO-operatin of all classes.
There is no necessity for pointing out
that this method of applying the mani
festo is new departure In the min,
ister's interview with the Associated
Press his words were addressed prima.
rily to the Zemstovs. They must
make the first response. He said:
" 4 believe in the Zemstovs and con.
slider them in the SERVICE

tons. The noble, generous words OF
the minister should call for the wor.
thy response from the Zemstovs, which
are about to convene. They will fail
to cooperate by pointing out the i'm,
mediate requirements of the country.
Through the united effort of the gov. |
ernment the Zemstovs and the people
by stimulating the moral forces. the
nation should succeed in establishing
the organization of the country I'D.
on solid basis. We greet the com.
ing era OF union as the dawn of a new.
rejuvenated Russia"
The Noyosti the Jewish organ, |
dwelling on the statement of the min.
lister to the Associated Press at Vii. |
ma on the subject of the Jews, SAYS:
despite the princes denial that he
has elaborated his program, his assur. |
ance that there will be larger oppor. |
tunities for life and work for Jews, |
none the less contains whole politi. |
cal program, which all will Hail with
delight and help to realize.'"
The Noyoe Vremya says:
"The minister's words advocating
mutual confidence between the gov.
ernment and the people will satisfy
the craving which all the people in
Russia have long felt, but have only
been able to mutely express"
The Bourse Gazette heads its edi.
torial "a policy of Sincerity" and
says:
"The confidence thus expressed to.
wards the Russian nation and the Rus.
sian press will not be betrayed"
