WORKING in Perfect Accord.

Mr.. Bryan and President Wilson are
working along the same lines. for the
accomplishment of the same things.
There may, Of course, be difference
as to details. though none is so far
visible. But fundamentally they are
in entire accord. Their principles are
the same, their goals are the same.
Mr.. Bryan can do much to help the
president and to make his admlnistra-
tion success. There is no reason to
doubt his purpose to do everything
that he can in that line.

Country Wants Action.

There is some political advantage
to be gained by the opposition party
If It aggravates the business situation
by protracting the tariff debate. If
hard times come, the Democratic
party will be held responsible. 1t is
permitted to hope that neither party
will descend to playing politics. To
postpone action merely to gain par
tisan advantage will not so easily be
tolerated in the future as in the past.

Mr.. Marshall does not propose to
abolish inheritances; and when he
spoke OF the proposal to seize all es-
tates of more than 100000, he was
quoting from another person, aud quot
ing without approval. But he does
favor a heavy inheritance tax, aud in
this he is on safe ground. Good luck
to him.rChicago Journal.

State Conference of
 Charities to Be Held
 Here Tn the Spring

The fourth state conference of Charities and Corrections will be held in this city sometime in April, prob ably the 18th, 10th and 21st.
 F. J. Kingsbury, of the Bridgeport Brass company, who was appointed has found it impossible to serve, so George c. Edwards of the Interna- tional Silver company of this city, has been chosen in his place.
 Chairmen of the various committees have been chosen as follows: Public health committee, which will have to do with work in the hospitals, tuber- culosis, social, hygiene and other pub lie health movements, County Health Officer George E. Hill; chi1dren's com
 nittee which will have to do with chill dren's court and the care of children, Mrs. M. H. Ford of Bridgeport; pub lie aid and betterment, Rev. J. Mel. Richardson; social service committee. which will have charge of the work of organized charities, the improve ment of housing, etc, Schuyler Mer- ritt of Stamford; law breakers com n1ittee, dealing with conditions in prisons, houses of correction, etc., William B. Bailey; and committee on defectives, the insane and incompet- ents, Dr. George Blumer, dean of Yale Medical school. Committees were also chosen to represent other interests in the various sections of the work and these committees will be in charge of the chairmen mentioned.
 It is expected that the conference will draw to this city a number of charity workers from different parts of the country who will make interest ing addresses on the progress of the work in their sections. 3 N
 It is planned to have the meeting on Sunday, April 18th, in the Lyric theatre, and the meeting of the fol- lowing days in Warner hall and the Y. M. c. A. building. Other commit tees will be announced later. It is probable that the general committee will hold it's first meeting early in IanIIarV

Surprise for Manager !
 Saunders at Poli' s

Manager Matt Saunders of Po1i's theatre was summoned hurriedly to the stage of the theatre last night
 1'The actors have gone on a strike; they won't work" was the message that came into the front of the house
 Saunders broke all worlds records to reach the stage. There he found the show folks and all the house en- ployes lined up.
 Before Saunders was able to inquire what was wrong, the crowd surround ed him, and with many wishes for his continued prosperity, they presented him with a handsome leather case containing a travelling outfit, and a gold mounted fountain pen. MT. Saun- ders responded with a. gracious speech.

Man Made Laws Were Unknown to
 Schmidt, Says Lawyer

New York, Dec. 24-The fourth alienist called by the defense at the trial of Hans Scam1dt for murder agreed today with his predecessors that the priest was insane. The wit ness, pr. M. s. Gregory, Bellevue Hospital, said Schmidt's mind was so obeessed with the idea. of making sacrifice when he killed Anna Aumul- Ter that he did not think of man-made law. At the same time, he added, if anyone had been present to interrupt Schmidt he would nave recognized that he was committing a crime
 Judge Warren W. Foster, who pre- sides at the trial, told the jurors that 1t must be finished before the expira- ton of his term Dec. 31.
 There must be no question of nistria1,' he said.
 After displaying to rne jury a chart of the Schmidt family tree, indicating the cases of insanity, deliriurn tre- mems, suicide and attempts at suicide among Schmidt's ancestors, the de- fense rested its case with the reser- va ton that opportunity would be talk en later to propound a hypothetical question.
 The state then called pr. A. G. Lee, a physician who treated Schmidt some time before the murder, as the first witness in rebutta1

 have been surprised at the sudden acceptance of this measure by public opinion everywhere. I say surprised, become obvious to men who had look ed at it with too critical an eye that it was really meant in their interest. They have opened their eyes to sec a thing which they had supposed to be hostile to be friendly and serViceabIe exactly what we intended it to be and what we shall intend all our leg islation to be.
 The men who have fought for this measure have fought nobody. They have simply fought for those accom- modatiOns which are going to secure us in prosperity and in peace.
 Nobody can be the friend of any class in America in the sense of being the enemy of any other class. Yot can only be the friend of one class by showing it the lines by which it can accommodate itself to the other class. of accommodation.
 It is in this spirit, therefore, that we rejoice together tonight, and I cannot say with what deep emotions Of gratitude feel that have had @ part in completing a work which I think will be of lasting benefit to the business of the country.
