While the United States busies itself
discussing the most effective means Of
excluding the surplus laborers of China
the Transvaal is experimenting with
their admission on somewhat extensive
scale. More than 10000 have been
brought into that country during the
last year, under contract, to enable the
mine owners of the Witwatersrand to
drag more gold from their mines than
they could get if restricted to the employ
ment of the native kaffir labor.
Those who read and believe South
Africa will be convinced that the expert
ment has been an almost unqualified
success. Those who follow the London
Spec tator will perhaps entertain meas
ure of doubt. But the fact stands that
there has been notable increase in out
put Of gold from these mines, and also
that the value of the output is now about
what it was during the months imme-
diately preceding the Boer war, when
the maximum yield was reached. 1t is
also true that the total yield of gold
for 1904 slightly exceeded that of any
other year in the history of the mines
although it was somewhat less than the
yield Of 1899 would have been had it not
been suspended in October Of that year
by the declaration Of hostilties, Advo-
Gates of the coole labor contend. ap-
parentlv with reason. that without the
coolies such results would not and could
not have been shown.
For the twelve months ending with
June. 1904, the average monthly output
ives valued at approximately $4,000, 900.
During that time the average number OF
men employed was about $4,000 whites
and 6l.379 kaifirs. The output for Feb
runry OF this year was s7,7Oo, 900, produced
by force Of 1912 whites, COLTS native
blacks and 3l,424 Cinnamon. If the
mine owners are satisfied, it is not for us
to find fault, but rough calculation
from the figures available indicates that
the monthly output per man for the open
Ing months of last year was about $50,
while for the same months this year it is
about $40. We are unable to say whether
this is due to the extraction OF lower
grade earth or to decreased efficiency on
the part of the extractors.
The important feature for the world
ct large is the constantly increasing
quantity of gold which is coming from
the Transvaal Taken in connection
with our own considerable increase, the
fact has set a good many people at work

In an article in the current number Of the
Proceedings Of the Naval Institute, Lieut.
Commander JOHN HOOD has a most inter-
esting article on assertions from the navy.
He points out what many lay observers OF
naval affairs have suspected, that prime
cause Of desertion is the enlistment in the
grades OF coal passer. landsman. fireman
and messman Of men having no experience
in seafaring life. Many Of these find the
work and discipline irksome, and as there
is among them the normal percentage Of
vicious and weak characters, desertion,
which is extremely easy and never ade-
quately punished, ensues. Nevertheless,
the number OF assertions in 1904 was not
more than 15.6 per cent. Of the enlisted
force. and it was composed chiefly of men
OF whom the navy was well rid.

The nomination by the Democrats of Ohio

The nomination by the Democrats Of Ohio
of candidate for Governor who. II not a
temperance man, is at least supporter Of
the principle of local option" seems like
a concession to versatility rather than q
stroke of opportunism.
The Democrats have not carried Ohio
for Governor since 1880, and Of late years
the majorities Of the Republicans have be-
come so large that Ohio has ceased to be
regarded as doubtful. A popular ma
jority of 25o,ooO last year for the Repub-
lican electoral ticket in State in which
a few years ago majority of 5000 was
considered substantial, marks its political
