DEATH, about which he sang immor-
tally, came gently to the "Good Gray
Poet" Walt Whitman, Saturday evening.
Whitman was good man and a great
poet. During and after the war he was
a genuine philanthropist, faithful as a
visitant and nurse at the hospitals. In
literature he held high and unique
place. He was an outlaw and iconoclast,
caring nothing for accepted forms
or ideas. His poetry is full of wild
ness, freedom and nudity. 1t is a
cry for universal brotherhood in men
and things. 1t looks at the world as
from Gods throne, yet with all the
sympathy of divinity. 1t cares little
for distinction of high or low. or great
or small, or good or bad. 1t is from a
soul expanded to fraternity with the
universe.
Whitman has been and is now more
appreciated in England than at home.
No great scholar or litterateur has visit
ed this country for years without seeking
out Whitman's secluded home in Cam
den, n. j. He was the personal friend
of Tennyson and Arnold, and his death,
while more of loss to us, will be less
remarked here than abroad.

OUR FIRST YEAR.

With this issue of THE CHRONICLE
the present proprietors complete their
first year of service at the editorial and
business desks of this paper. In taking
charge of the paper one year ago we
outlined no definite policy except what
circumstances and occasions should in
our view demand as right, and the ex
perience of one year causes us still to
adhere to that principle. We have
labored to improve THE CHRONICLE and
believe we have succeeded to degree
as great as is consistent with business
principles. When other improvements
are warranted they will be made, and
in the future we will endeavor as best
we can to steadily maintain THE
CHRONICLE in its position of the leading
Republican paper of the county. Per-
haps error in judgment has caused US to
make some mistakes, but experience will
prevent recurrence of the same mis-
takes in the future.
We have lost a few old friends, but
have gained many new ones, and the
future is as bright as we could wish.
In short we have every reason to feel
encouraged at the result of our labors,
and to those who are not yes enrolled on
our subscription books we have only to
say "now is the time to subscribe"

THE arrangement of the Congressiol

THE arrangement of the Congressional
Districts has been agreed upon by both
branches of the General Assembly. This
district will remain the same as under
the Carpenter bill, being composed of
Belmont, Monroe, Harrison, Jefferson,
and Carroll counties. Each county with
the exception of Monroe will probably
have one or more candidates, and the
canvass for the nomination will be in
teresting. Belmont county being the
largest in the district, is entitled to the
nomination, and if the county goes to
the Convention united on one man, it
will not take much outside aid to win.

IT is now probable that the Bland bi

IT is now probable that the Bland bill
will not come to a vote at this session
of Congress. There is no doubt that the
bill is in line with the sentiment of a
majority of the Democrats in Congress,
but each day brings us nearer the
presidential election and consequently
diminishes the courage of the majority
party to take a definite stand on any
thing. They prefer vacillating policy
to definite one, and hope thereby to
gain votes. However, the position of
the Democratic party on the money
question is too well known to deceive
anyone, and they will not profit by their
cowardice. After the election next fall
the Bland bill will pass the House with
out doubt, and no one need be deluded
by the idea that by their present action
the Democratic party has declared lin
favor of good money.

A QUESTION of veracity has arisen be-

Ward Beecher, the issue being whether
or not the great preacher was spiritu-

vantage in the matter. since she was in
a position to know her husbands views
on all questions of religious nature.
There is nothing in Mr.. Beecher's ser
