THE NANITOWOC COUNTY CHRONI-
IL

We gladly welcomed the Chronicle pub
li.hed at Two Rivers to our exchange list
this morning, and We taae pleasure in an
nouncing the advent Of what promises to be
a real live county paper, published in that
growing Incorporated village by the Chron-
ic!s Printing Company, under the Direc-
,orship Of II. H. Smith, II. Fishbein, g.
Daimler, B. Richter and II. Stoll, all good
and reliable geatleman. The Directors
could not have Oh osen more suitable or
able editor than Judge II. s. Pierpont, I'M
der whose name it makes its first appear
snce and we heartily congratulate them,
as it is an evidence Of the thrift and enter
prise of the business men Of Two Rivers,
and we think we can safely congratulate
the county at large, also, as the Judge states
in his address to his readers that the Chron-
icte is the legitimate offspring of "necessi-
~ to look to some other locality for that true
independence in journalism, which expert
ence has shown the vanity of expecting
from the four city papers now published. "
We assume nothing for our brethren of the
city press, but as far as we are concerned,
We scorn advice from no man, and are in
clned to be amiable, and in the mean time
shall carefully watch the " change Of base"
produced and the substantial good
promised, and again congratulate the coun-
ty that the enterprise is in competent hands.
He also declares with the true zeal of
the enthusiast that his columns shall be
open to none but the broadest views and
most comprehensive arguments, relying on
the enlightened support of the county,
and will noB publish the Chronicle in the
interest of any indtUidual or ring, but will
publish independent of all such "dishon-
orable influences" which we heartily APP
prove IN toto. In fact we should be happy
this moment, had he not gently limited at
the narrow contracted policy Of his brother
editors of this city, whom he seems DESTROYS
Of reforming, and we suppose it is from
that true benevo'ence which emboldens all
humane reformers.
We of the PILor would be glad that
some master hand should lead US from the
darkness of the "pent up vision that bound
us round" into the clear light of the ChrOn-
icle or any other high toned newspaper. We
have no mean groyeling disposition, our in
tentions are always good and would feel
equally at home in Schleswig or Two Rivers,
but just at this time would respectfully
prefer Two Rivers as we, too, have got our
pillow-case all packed to ship on the FIRST
great tidal wave" that rolls up from
Cincinnati, and should naturally expect
some trouble in shipping at this port as the
Collector is n Grant man.
In politics the Chronicle is "pa,sive, y
and like Dickens Macawber els waiting
for som ethThg to turn up" In case the
Cincinnati Convention makes good
choice, we shall expect to see the Chroni-
Gle wheel into line with its best endeavors
to turn this hoard of 10000 Grant officials
out to grass next spring (harbor improve
ment inspectors excepted).
The Chronicle is neat and attractive, its
patent outsldcs are printed IN milwaukee,
ut the Erening Wisconsin Office, and it,
selections are varied and interesting, com
prising proceedings in Congress, genera
news, sentiment, fun, &c, its inside o!
editorials, correspondence, locals, and new
items arc able, clear and comprehensive
Long may she wave
