System OF Confidence" and says:
"A year and a half have elapsed
since the manifesto wa issued, but the
former minister was far from encour-
aging the cooperation of the people

mutual suspicion. The new minister
realizes that the only way to obtain
actual results is to give lasting effect
to the liberal pledges contained In the

tidence and ask for the hearty Coop
Grafton of all classes. There is no
necessity for pointing out that this
method of applying the manifesto is a
new departure. In the minister's press

convinced that they can render the
greatest service
st Is undoubtedly the mission of
the governmental the truest sense to
cordially strive for their Success, and
not to see in Zemstov an attempt to
thwart government aims and ambi-
tons.
"The noble, generous words of the
minister should call forth a worthy
response from the zemstov. who are
about to convene. They will not fail
to cooperate by pointing out the i'm
mediate requirements Of the country.
Through the united action of the gov
eminent, the zemstovs and the people,
by stimulating the moral forces, the
nation should succeed in establishing
the organization upon a firm basis. We
greet the coming era of union as the
dawn of a new and ~rejalvenated Rus
sia."
