Dallas, Tex. Dec. 26.--Green Seals.
laborer at Harry Bros backyard,
was found about daylight this morn
ing on the Eagle Ford road west Of the
river. lying in an unconscious condition
by campfire, horribly burned and al
most frozen to death.
He was brought TO town and placed
in the city hospital, where he now lies
In critical condition.
The inference is that Seals got drunk
IN Dallas and started out the pike On
his mule last night, and seeing the
campfire which somebody had left, got
down to warm, and, falling asleep,
rolled into the FIRE, and was too stupid
from the combined effects Of whisky
and the norther to know that his clothes
and flesh were burning.

We understand Assessor Gilkerson
gave the editor of the Geyser a sever
tongue lashing a few days since, among
other things told him never To put his
name in the paper again. No doubt
the fellow has been giving Mr.. Gilker-
son dirt, as he has everyone who has
had anything to do with him. Deaton
found the fellow betraying him and to
placate him saved the Geyser from
financial wreck and promised To give
Great Scott steady job AS under
sheriff. Unfortunately Mr.. Deaton has
not the nerve possessed by Gilkerson
or he would have cut loose from his
dirty environments long ago. There
are a good many in the Democratic
party who favor Mr.. Gilkerson for
sheriff and we would not be surprised
to see him get the nomination. Per
sonally Mr.. DeaIon is a pleasant gen
tleman, but he is wanting IN moral
force or he would have thrown the
hushwhacking, Matchmaking teaches
overheard long ago. Mr.. Deaton ex-
poets to receive courteous treatment
from the ARGUS, yet it is stated hat he
approves Of the curse the Geyser is
taking in abusing men who are his
equal in every respect. Mr.. Deaton is
responsible for the Geyser's existence
and should have something 10 say re-
garding its conduct. It's his organ.

Regarding County Commissioners.
The Independent OF July 3Oth con-

The Independent OF July 3Oth con.
tains the following in relation to
county commissioners:
Attorney General Haskell, who is now in
the eastern part OF the state. has, accord
Jog to the Yellowstone Journal, authorized
the announcement that the public ar.
wrong in supposing that the county com
missioners elected in the fall of 1892 retire
rom Office in January next, and that it
will be the duty OF the political conventions
TO nominate candidates for II new board
to be voted for at the election this fall.
The Journal says:
From information had OF Attorney
Journal is authorized To o that
thisp presumption is erroneous and that as
a matter OF fact the existing boards oil
county commissioners in the various coun-
ties of this state will continue to hold Of
flee for the full term for which the constitu-
ton provides. which is four years. At the
election of 1892 there was constitutional
amendment voted on and carried, which
provided for a change in the original con
stitutlonal prONlSionr concerning county
commissioners in that it limited the term
of office of the commissioners elected in
1892 to one year-from January, 1894. to
January, 1885, and provided for a new
board in November. 1894, two of them to
serve two years and one to serve four
years. The amendment, as we ha We stated.
was carried by a vote of the people and
hence the erroneous superstition herein re-
ferred to. TIE amendment, though ap-
proved by the voters, is imperative for
the reason that a constitutional require

In the war with France, previous
to the French revolution, an English
drummer, not more than Is years of
age, having wandered from his camp
too near the French lines. was seized
and brought before the French COM
mander. On being asked who he was
by the general, he answered, "A
drummer in the English service"
This not gaining credit, a drum was
sent for, and he was desired to beat
a couple of marches, which he &C
cordingly did. The Frenchman's sus-
picion being, however, not quite re-
moved, he desired the drummer to
beat a retreat. "A retreat, sirs" re
piled the youth. Il don't know what
that is" The answ SO pleased the
French officer that he dismissed the
drummer and wrote to his general

As the weather gets cooler politics
will grow considerably warmer and in
a few weeks we will be in the throes OF
a political campaign, To make vic
tory certain in this county Republicans
should see hat no mistake is made in
| selecting candidates for the county
and legislative tickets. just at the
present time the latter is of supreme
two Republican senators aud a repre-
sentative at Washington. The state is
strongly Republican in ordinary years,
but in the present calamitous times
the party should sweep everything be-
fore il. In this county as in many
others there are a good many Demo-
Gratis who have seen their business
paralyzed if not ruined by the threat Of
free trade. and as they prefer success
in their business to the ~fattening of
Office seekers, will vote to restore pros
perity in Montana. The Republicans
of this county, though disgraced in the
last legislature, car elect their senators
and representatives without difficulty
if care is taken to select good men. No
time should be lost in looking over the
field for the right material. For county
offices there seems to be a great many
anxious candidates and good judgment
be used by Republicansin max
ing nominations. The opposition.

The following from the Butte Inter
Mountain will be fully appreciated in
this county, especially: "If the next
Legislature is going to consist of the
same class of men as those who two
years ago bartered their honor for
Democratic gold, why not save money
by selecting candidates from the men
now doing time in the penitentiary, as
the state would then get their services
free of charge, while on the score OF
decency and honesty the result would
be about the same. In fact, the aver
agejailbird is u better man than one who
protesting to be honorable, only awaits
an opportunity to be bought up to sac.
rifice and betray his party's interests.
The disgrace of another dishonest legis.
lature, however, can be avoided if the
honest men of all parties will insist on
nominating only reputable citizens for
the states lawmakers this year."

1t seems to be the general opinion
that the Democrats will fuse with the
Populists and indorse r. B. Smith fol-
1t would be a very incon-
sistent thing TO do, but consistency Is
not a strong Democratic virtue. Smith
Endorses vagaries that if put into prac-
tice would make these Democratic
times pale into insignifcance as re.
CARDS depression and lack of confidence.
Thousands of Democrats, however,
would vote for the Republican nomi-
nee before they would stultify them
selves in supporting an instantaneous

The editor OF the Anaconda Standard
appears to take special delight in con.
trasting hal paper with the Helena
Independent and INDUCING in some
cheap wit about boiler plate" etc.
Every newspaper man in Montana
knows Thai the Anaconda Standard has
not made a dollar above expenses since
it was launched into existence, and
that it will run behind from S20,0 900 to
$4,000 tor the year 1894. But it is a
part of the capital fight for this paper
TO establish bureaus in the various
towns of the state, increase its news
service and publish the best paper
possible. The corporation pays the
fiddler now with the expectation of
getting its money back in the sale of
town lots. When the capital question
is settled the Standard will take a great
slump and the bureaus will be Suddenly
cut of.

Byron and Women.

Byron and Shelley were as far
asunder as can be imagined in their
estimate of women. Byron consid-
cred them as mems interiors. He held
an absolutely oriental view of WON
en-. He was fond of saying that he
did not think they had any right at
the table with men and out to be shut
up in seraglios, as they are in the
east. No doubt a good deal of this
was ~affectation, for a man who had
travelled as much as he had was a
rarity in those days, and he was very
fond of airing his eastern experiences,
but much Of it was the real express
sion of his feelings. CHATS With

The Republican county committees oil
the several counties ia the state will pro-
coed to call county conventions as usual
and elect delegates and alternate delegates
To said state convention as above appor-
toned.
The basis of representation and appor-
tiOnment for the county conventions will
be liked by the county central committees.
In the matter of nominating candidates
uf the several judicial districts, should
there he any nomination to be made at
this time, the committee recommends that
ia all cases where the district is limited to
one county, the regular county convention
make the nomination at the same time IL
dominates candidates for all other county
offices. In other cases. where the district
is composed OF more than one county, let
the delegates to the state convention from
the counties comprising a district meet at
the time and place OF the state convention,
and there agree upon and make the nomi'
nations foe same, being guided by such IN
structions, il any, as have been given by
their respective county conventions. The
same rule to apply in the ease OF joint rep
resentatives in the state legislature.
The following rules have been adopted
for the government OF Republican state
conventions in Montana and are now il
force:
EIrst-Delegates and alternate delegates
shall be elected in future to state conven
tions, and in the event of a failure oil 6
delegate to attend, the alternate delegate
shall cast the vote of the delegate who's
alternate he is.
Sscond-Iu the absence OF the delegate
and his alternate, "A majority OF the dele
CATION from that county shall cast tn
vote OF the absentee.
Third-In the absence OF all the delegates
and alternate delegates from any county
ma vote shall be cast for such county.
FOurth-In the county in which the stat
convention shall be held, when any dele
