A Fraud and Failure.
From the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
As revenue measure the Dingley
tariff bill will prove a fraud and
failure. as scheme of federal taxa
tion it is an outrage, and as party
measure it will be more disastrous
and deadly boomerang than was the
tariff bill that bore the name of the
present president, a man who oc-
cupies his present official station
solely because he went before the
people of the United States as the
only defender OF the integrity of the
currency in the field and put the
tariff issue behind his back. Has
the country been buncoed?

No Benefits Expected.

WASHINGTON, April 14-The ap-
pointment of three commissioners to
represent the United States in nego-
tiations with other countries for an
international monetary conference is
regarded by members of all parties as
indicating little more than desire
upon the part of the President and
other Republican leaders to place
themselves upon record as favoring
the proposition of bimetallism.
Many of the Republicans. it is un-
derstood, do not sympathize with the
Presidents anxiety in this respect,
while the silver men, Democrats, Pop
ulists and independent Republicans
declare the commission is all humbug
and that nothing will come from its
efforts.

Richmond Dispatch.
The appointment by President
Mckinley of three commissioners to
represent the United States in ne9oti-

international monetary conference
will neither warm the hearts of the

the ranks of the monometallists. In

monetary problem at all. Further

FUNERAL OF MRS. j ID. GLENN
She Was Educated at the Salem Acad-
my-Aged 81.

my-Aged 81.
The funeral of Mrs. Mary b. Glenn,
who died in Greensboro early Thurs
day morning, was conducted from ST.
Andrews Episcopal church, Green's
bOro, at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Glenn was the Youngest daugh-
ter of DIR. John 6. Brodnax, of Green's
boro. She was born in Rockingham
county, January 9th, 1860; educated
at St. Mary's School, Raleigh, and
Salem Female Academy. Was mar
ried TO Gen. Jas. ID. Glenn, June 18th,
1877.
Mrs. Glenn was Christian from in
fancy and was confirmed at the age o.
IA years. The Record says she loved
her church better than her own life,
and the fruits of that love are too we'll
known to need mentioning.
AS soon as the death Of Mrs Glenn
was announced it was at once heard
that it was the result OF the runaway
accident some time ago, but this is a
great mistake. She was bruised up
somewhat by it, but was not seriously
hurt and suffered no inconvenience
from it.
Capt. and Mrs. r. B Glenn, of this
city, attended the funeral. Capt and
General Glenn are brothers.
