managers, and embraces statements and
statistics which Smith says show that

the coal and iron company since 1871
have been only s2,s47. 900. while the
dividends paid by the railroad were
SIS, 04O. 900, or more than seven timcs

floating debt was concealed by transfers
made on the books for the purpose. and
the loss on the collieries worked by the

Worried About Chopper.

We have rarely seen so solemn an exhi-
bitiOn of unhappiness as is shown by the
Union because the Democrats thought
there were other men than Z. G. Chopper
in their party who could fill the Office Of
Justice of the peace But the best evil
dence that this exhibition of Republican
sorrow is simulated is found in the fact
that they do not put Cropper 5 name on
their ticket. The Union of this morning
SAYS:
Mr. Birmingham found out on Thursday that he
had been nominated without his knowledge or con-
sent. and withdrew in favor of Mr. Chopper. This
heal the breach, and Mr.. Buford, chairman OF the
committee thought to embrace the opportunity but
when he entered the veteran editors sauctum he
found the CrOppcr opposition more determined
than the veteran editor going so far to say
that Mr.. Choppers name should not appear in TIE
ARGUS candidate even il he was given the va
cant place on the ticket,
Every word of whi;h is false. Mr.. Brit
| tingham has not withrawn in favor OF
Chopper; he has not withdrawn in favor OF
anybody; he has not withdrawn at all, but
has simply said he would not qualify il
elected. Mr.. Buford has not been in the
editors sanctum at all, nor has the editor
seen him to say one word upon the subiec,
of the nominations either before or since
the convention. Nor has the editor said OF
done anything IN opposition to Chopper
either before or since the convention. or in
terfered or advised in any manner concern
| ing the nomination of Chopper or anybody
else. Nor has he said Choppers name o.
anybody else's name should not appear il
THE ARGUS. Yesterday he declined t.
publish a scathlng communication from
citizen criticizing Cropper and the column
of Balderdash in the Union signed ''Thir
Ward" But delegate having asked t
be heard to-day, in behalf of the conven
ton, we did not feel at liberty to refus
him hearing.
The Union can devote all its space
Chopper for aught we care, but when
utters such TRADE of falsehoods as W
have quoted from its:columns of this morn
ing we propose to denounce them as false
7 hoods.

Supervisor Aster,

We have never had man for supervisor
who was SO truly anxious and careful to
perform his duties as public servant cor
rectly as John Aster. When he was nomi-
mated last year we hardly thought he could
fill the bill, or that he could be elected.
His strength and popularity among all
classes of people quite surprised every
body-and all people now admire the.care-
full and conscientious manner in which Ihe
has discharged the duties of the Office.
When he took possession he found that
Krell had loaned the town money. Krell
was required to pay over the cash, but he
never accounted for any interest krell
hac never pretended to comply
with the law in relation to the poor, but
kept his minutes, if he kept any at all. in
private, He refused to show his books,
and the public had no means of learning
to whom he furnished relief or to what
amount, or anything in regard to the mat
ter The first thing MIR, Aster did was to
procure book, with printed headings so
that he could show, in proper columns and
under proper heading, the names of all
persons relieved or supported at county
expense; place Of birth; age; sex: condi
ton or infrmity; cause of relief-whether
lunacy, idiocy, intemperance, poverty,
accident, or what cause; the manner il
which reliefis afforded-whether in money
or, if by order, who on: the amount; the
date of relief-month, day ofmonth and
year; the place of Observation-Disclosures
street or road; between what streets; il
whose house; how long in town-years
month. These are the printed headings
of his book, on every page, and in the
proper columns all the information will bt
found in every case. This is something d.
overseer of the poor or supervisor evel
kept, before Mr.. Aster introduced thu
system. And his book is open for the in
spection of everybody having any interes
in seeing how the public business is con
Quoted by him.
Mr.. Aster deserves a reelection for tn
excellent manner in which he has per
formed his duties If one word of faul
has been found with him, from any quar-
ter, we have not heard it, and we doubt no
that tine good people of this township wi
. show their appreciation of good an
q faithful and honest officer by giving him
n second election.

coffee are selling slowly Not so with D.

HELMBoLD's BUCHU. - Helmbolds
Buchu has long been known as one of the
most valuable medicines attainable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As dluretic, it is supe-
rior to almost any other medicine in use,
and the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity of the prepare
ton, and the diligence used in the selection
of the crude material, have made it known
far and wide as a reliable and effective
preparation, and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success of Helmboid's Buchu has led to
| the production of many spurious prepare
tions, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold on the reputaS
ton acquired by Helmbold's original pre-
paration. Parties who desire a reaIly good
medicine should be careful and use Helm
holds only.
