Corporal Tanners speech at the audi

is no drop of bitterness in his heart, and
II is plainly full OF cordial goodwill and
affection for the old foes with whom
he fought 1t out like a man. lie fought
like a man and he now has a mans senu-
mcnts and feelings. the battle being o7er,
and each having 4 mans respect for the
manner in which the other one conducted
himself. When the Corporal addressed
the old Confederate veterans as his
comrades" he showed that his aeart was
in the right place. and that his memories
OF the war took in nothing but hon.
age to heroism and soldierly conduct by
whoever It was displayed
Corporal Tanner talked as all Northern
men ought 10 talk whsn he said that he
had told his Northern brethren that If
they had been reared upon the soil Of
tho South, ninety-nine out Of every hun
dred Of them would have done Just as
the Southern men did. and they would
have donned the Confederate gray and
been found fighting in the ranks Of their
comrades. Tho Corporal showed, when
ne saio this, that he has a broad and
catholic mind and spirit. that can treat
eases according 10 their essence and ma
ture and not from the narrow standpoint

thing bend TO his precorceivcd ideas Of
what situation should be. aud this
statement Of Corporal Tanners contains
everything necessary for securing 10 the
South that confederation which her case
really calls for. All just and considerable
men should take just the view OF the
case that Corporal Tanner took. No such
man, II he reflects. can doubt thar he
would have gone with his people when
he saw the whole body OF them moving
as one man. and. II that be so. no lust

The deficit for the fiscal year ended
June So 1896 was S2s,OoOO0o, or about w
10000 more than Secretary Carlisle es-
tlmated that II would be in his last re-
port. Tho deficit OF 1895 was si5,0oOOO,
which shows that the Democratic mea-
sures arc steadily working out an i'm
provement in spite OF the disadvantageous
and disastrous state OF affairs under
which they have been IN operation. and
il IS TO be further noted that In June the
receipts OF the Government were N.4U,OJ
more than expenditures.
But the Congress which has just ended
appropriated some 100000 more than
the expected receipts or the year 1871. 50
that we must. Of course. have another
deficit in that year.
But that should not make the people
tolerate another tariff act Ike the Nc
I1inley acc. The operation OF the Demo-
cratic tariff act, as We have set II out
this morning IN another article. shows
that II Is entirely possible for US 10 raise
all the revenue that the Government
needs, and still keep duties down 10 a
point that will secure the people cheap
goods at the stores.
They should watch carefully TO see that
che Republican party does not bring on
another era OF corrupt jobs and favorit-
isms under the pretence OF raising needed
revenue.

THE TIMES REUNION EDITIONS.

1t is not our custom nor do we fully
endorse the general habit OF some news
papers in directing especial attention to
their own achievements. In the pres
ent instance. however. we desire to refer
to the magnificent reports and exhibits
made by The Times during the reunion
just closed.
Our efforts upon this occasion, We be-
heve resulted In the furnishing as fine
a series OF newspapers as has ever been
presented to the Southern people.
We consider this d distinct triumph in
Southern Journalism, for while We hold
to the imperishable principles Of the
past. we recognize the progress Of the
present, and propose 10 preserve and
advance both.
