of the African golu output this year,
wh..e in the first half of 1905 the pro-
portion was 89.5 per cent. The diff
ference of IL per cent in the ratio Of
the Trarsvaal output to the grand to-
tai may be explained by the greater
activity in the less important districts
of the African continent. A reason al
so is that the growth in the Trans
vaal production so far this year has
not been as rapid as in 1905 or 1904.
Undoubtedly the greatest advance in
gold mining is shown in Rhodesia
where the output for the six months
ending with June, this year, amount
ed to 264.466 fine ounces, valued al
s5.466,512. This output is 1874 per
cent larger than the first half of 1905
and fully IA per cent more than the
~ months of 1908. In establishing q
new high record, Rhodesia contributes

New York T1mes.)
The discussion OF Mr.. ROOsevelt's
possible candidacy in 1908 will not
down. In some quarters it is resented
and those who innocently engage in
it are rebuked by friends of the presl.
dent, who insist that the matter was
settled on the night of his election he
declared in the most explicit manner
that he should not again be candi-
date for the presidency. 1t is held
that to speculate now upon the SUBJ
ject implies doubt either of his
word or his firmness. We do not think
either can be called in question.
Sensible men must be agreed that
Mr.. Roosevelt meant what he said.
The expectation, the belief, or the the
DRY that he may again accept the Sc
publican nomination are based, We
presume upon two considerations.
One is that the compelling need of
his party. especially if Mr.. Bryan be
the nominee of the Democratic party,
will constrain him to acceptance; the
the other is that he is temperament
ally incapable of voluntary renunci-
alton of that power in public affairs
which he has enjoyed and so conspic-
uOusly exercised.
In any circle where the politics OF
| 1908 are under discussion there will
be found those who are convinced that
Mr.. Roosevelt will be nominated and
will accept. They say that no other
republican can beat Mr.. Bryan. II
the republican party should be con
fronted by the nomination of Mr.
Bryan supported by united Democ
racy, there would inevitably be de
mand for the nomination Of Mr.. Roose
welt. 1t would be heard in every state
