THE CONVENTION CALL.

AT the head OF the editorial column,
today, appears an official call for the
republican state convention, which is to
be held in Milwaukee on August II.
BY reason of the tremendous majority
given for the party at the last election,
the convention will be nearly twice it's
usual size in representation - nearly
eleven hundred delegates. This is not
a bad omen. There is not the oppor-
tunity for professional manipulators to
get in their work that is afforded when
the representation is small. Besides, il
gives more party workers a chance to
assist in naming candidates and formu-
lhting party principles, which is an en-
enlargement to earnestness in the cam
paign to follow.
AS to candidates there is little devel-
opment. The CENSOR is candid when it
takes the position that there should be
new ticket from top to bottom. We
do not understand that the old officers
below the governor, are making cam
paign for reelection, but are simply
willing not all of them even that.
There are thousands of good men, 10y al
and true republicans, as justly entitled
to recognition as they, and fully as COM
petenL to serve the party and the peo-
pie.
1t is scarcely nece ssary to state that
the CENSOR believes Governor Scofeld
ought not to be renominated. And let
it be said, once for all, that its opposi-
ton is based neither on personal or
factional reasons. 1t has never per-
mitted either OF these bad ingredients
in politics to enter its creed. Unfaith-
fulnese to the party and. the people is its
sole and only ground for objection. He
has chosen for his advisors an element
ia the party that cares nothing for its
success beyond what that success will
bring to their selfish interests. And
those interests are diametr. cally in con-
h;ct with true republicanism. That
element would as soon see the demo
cratic party in power in Wisconsin if it
would as vel serve their purposes, We
are not so sure but Governor Scofeld is
to be commended for his loyalty to that
element. They made his nomiD alton
possible two years ago, and it is we'll
known by many by what means it was
accomplished. But is that sufficient
reason why the party should lend itself
to continue injustice to the people?
The CENSOR will be absolved from any
personal OF factional motive in thus
plainly speaking, when it states positively
that it knows no man who anticipates be-
ing a candidate for the nomination
against Governor Scofeld. 1t would feel
impelled to this course if it stood entire
ly alone, knowing what it does of the ex-
isting conditions.
IL this congressional district there lie,
so far as we are advised, but one candi-
date for place on the state ticket
Hon. James o. Davidson, of Crawford
county, who will doubtless receive the
united and enthusiastic support OF the
district for state treasurer. That he is
entirely worthy and qualified for the
responsible position, no candid man who
knows him will attempt to deny. M
Davidson is an excellent representative
of the young men and Scandinavian
elements in the party, true and loyal
friend of the masses.

A LONG DELAYED CONFESSION.

There is q pressing need of reform
in many directions. The people are
bearing to great, and the corpora
tions too small, share of the burdens
of taxation. They should be more
equitably adjusted. The pass system,
with reference to public officials is, at
least, obnoxious to the public sense OF
,ropriety. 1t should be abolished.
Z he practice of mak'ng party pledges
and then repudiating them should be
unqualifiedly condemned and aband
oned. The republican party sho'la
be made to be what it processes to De,
the friend of the people, and the enemy
of everybody and everything that is op-
posed to the public interests Madi-
son Journal.
Confession is good for the soul! we
congratulate our good old "Uncle Hod'
TAYLOR on the true expression OF his
long pent-up inner heart, as manifested
above through his Madison Journal, OF
a very late date. But why, o why, does
lie daily excoriste papers and indivld-
uals who contend for these very things,
and point out the record OF public OH
cials who disregard, make light of and
refuse to be governed by party pledges
for the right. His paper is almost en-
tirely given over to the defense OF OIL
cials guilty of exactly what he describes
as evil and pernicious. Will ne not con-
cede to other men and journals some
honesty of purpose, if he expects the
same to be accorded to himself?
When, few years ago, MIR. Taylor
made his gallant fight, as a senator IN
the legislature,f for the correction of then
existing evils, the CENSOR bade him
Godspeed. He was villiied and cursed
as a sorehead and an enemy to the re-
publican parry by the same tools that
now cry out against men who are con-
tending for the identical reforms which
he advocated. The people then believed
le was right, and they still believe the
men who are pursuing the same labor
are right.

Melting Metals.

A note concerning the peculiar phe-
no1nenon noticed in the melting of met
ais when under extended pressure has
recently beln published by II. Eischof
of Wiesbadtn. When metal is bedded
in a mortar of chemically pure alumni
ium oxidc, thoroughly dried and then
subjected to the necessary heat, a con-
siderable retardation in melting is no.
ticed. For instance, rod of silver,
which should melt at l. $50 degrees f.,
wien thus treated will not change its
form I'd melt together until $3.50 de
grees Palladium, which should melt
at 2, $50 degrees f., shows no sign Of
yielding at 1900 degrees F. 1t would
seem that these rods Of metal, unable to
expand while in the powerful grip of
the aluminium ,1xidt, which contracts
on heating, simply cannot melt as they
would under normal conditions

} Waiter Who Can Tell Mans Occu-
patton by the Way He Eats.
There is a waiter in Dearborn street
restaurant who has discovered the sci
ence of reading mans occupation by
his manner of eating. He can look into
the calm eye of customer engaged in
disarticulating cham and" and de.
termine with wonderful accuracy
whether the man is a scissors grinder or
State street merchant.
OF course one must be close observer
to do all this, and it isn't everybody
that is afforded lunch counter for a
field of study. Yet if the student will
avail himself Of opportunities while
seated at the mahogany board he will
find that when the business MN is at
the table some habit acquired in the
daily pursuance of his profession will
be sure to show itself.
For an instance, the banker may come
in and order wheat cakes. If be does,
the waiter declares he will Invariably
dip his fingers in the water and run
over the cakes to see if there is a mis-
count.
The gambler will look around to see
if any one is watching and then palm
slice of bread If he orders f1apjacks, he
is sure to slip them one by one from the
bottom as he eats them. The clothlA,-
salesman will hold his flapjacks up to
the light and feel the texture while the
keen observer will notice that the Jew
eler, upon ordering pie, will hold it to
his ear, shake it and then listen, after
which he will lift off the top crust with
the point of his knife and examine the
insides.
During an interview the otker day
the waiter stated that he called his new
scienees 'eatistry -
.I have pot mastered my science
yet, said he. "and seldom day passes
but that I learn some new point. Oh,
it's great study, and / thil K in time
it will take its place along with palm
istry and phrenology and other kindred
sciences. -
"Have you ever made mistake in
judging mans occupation?"
"Only once. and that could hardly be
called a mistake, for made no decision
as to the mans business. / confess I
was stumped. The fellow came in and
ordered his dinner. Of course I gave
him a glass of water. He looked at it
with some surprise and said, l didn't
order that.
1T costs you nothing, says !, 'and
you don't need to drink it unless you
want to-.
"He thanked me, and what do you
think-he broke his bread into it and
then ate it with a spoon. I didn't know
what to make of it, and for the life of
me couldn t determine what his bust
ness was. When he was leaving, tap
ped him on the shoulder and asked him
outright what he did for living.
Why, says he, I'm 4 milkman. p"
