TEST RoosEvELT's STRENGTH

TFrom the Philadelphia Bulletin.1
Here and there evidences frequently
crop up which go to show that some
thing very like an organized attempt
to test public sentiment on the question
of nominating Theodore Roosevelt is
under way. On one day Nebraska, on
another Indiana, on a third some other
commonwealth is selected as the scene
of alleged disaffection among Republi-
cans toward the present head of the
administration. Hints that delegates
from various states are to go to the
next national convention "uninstructed"
so that their votes may be switched off
from Roosevelt if the occasion arises,
are printed from time to tlme-chiefiy
in the Democratic papers or that per-
sistent opponent of Roosevelt's election,
the New York Sun.
Yet there Is not the slightest evidence
that these efforts to convey the i'm
preston that the Republican masses are
doubtful as to the nominee are making
any impression ON the public mind I'M
less it is that of contemptuous amuse-
ment. They fall as dead. apparently,
as the recent editorials in the Cincin-
natl Tribune, which init
mated that the presidents nomination
would be unwise because he would
probably be beaten at the polls, or as
the feeble piping of Mark Hanna's
name by more or less irresponsible in
dividuals who assert that he would be
a safe" candidate who would be as
sured Of election in advance.
If the instigators of these tactics are
acting in accordance with any definite
plan. they must feel that they are get
ting scant encouragement. Nothing car
be palmer than that a great majority
of Republican voters consider the nomi-
nation of Roosevelt as a settled fact
Neither is it possible to ignore the action
of the twenty-t three states and terri
tories which have already endorsed
Roosevelt as their choice, and whose
delegates in the Republican convention
will number 496, or eleven more thar

Live Stock Pavilion.

At the meeting of the Kansas Improved
Live Stock breeders in Topeka next week
the matter of the building of a sale pa
vilion in Topeka will be taken up for in
dorsement. The stock breeders are in IA
vor of the promotion of anything that
will give them better facilities for mar
keting their stock and most of them
are dissatisfied with the accommodations
furnished on the Kansas City market,
where extortionate prices are exacted
for sale room and for feed. 1t has
been proposed by the Kansas State Ex-
position company to build the pavilion
at a cost of about 5000. Only the in
dorsement of the breeders association
and the assurance that the pavilion will
be patronized by them is wanted

Attention is called to the fact that
there Is at least town in Ireland whose
buildings and streets are mostly marble;
whose shops, houses and churches are
adorned with 1t. The town is Kilkenny.
which has gained the designation OF the
marble City," because so plentifullY
has the native black marble found in its
vicinity been used for various purposes
In the town that, as matter of fact, the
very streets are paved with it. Black
marble is not the only kind found and
used, however, in the town. There are
some excellent examples OF what Ireland
can produce In marble to be seen in the
Cathedral at Kilkenny. Green specimens
are observed even finer than the black
ones, and the reredos itself is an excellent
instance of what Ireland can show In
this way. The supports OF the pulpit are
solid pieces of this green marble, which
Is found not about Kilkenny so much as
In the farther district of Connemara.
But II Is not the policy Of England to
help the industries of Ireland. She
wants to stifie all Ireland's commercial
progress. and how well she has succeeded
every one knows.
