OLD ACQUAlNTAAcES
Representatives Hogg of Colorado
and Kennedy of Ohio Renew
BoyhOod Associations In =
Congress.

Washington correspondent relates
the following story of the renewal OF
the acquaintance of Congressman Hogg
of this district with an :old friend at
the national capital.
although having played. "hookey"
together in order to fish and swim, and
having been ''whaied" with the same
birch rod when they were small boys
and sitting side by side in congress,
Representative Hngg OF Colorado and
Kennedy of Ohio did not know each
other. They did not long remain in
ignorance of each other, however, for
they at once began to get acquainted.
Now they are recalling some Of the
boyish pranks the played when only
separated by river in their earlier
boyhood days.
This fact was brought to light on
Monday. the opening day of the special
session OF congress. 1t is always an
Interesting sight to the onlookers to
see the way members secure their
seats. In their conversation it was
discovered that the district represent-
ed by Mr.. Kennedy is Mahoning, Ohio.
and in that district he was born. 1t
further developed that Congressman
HOgg also had been born in Ohio and
in the same county ss Mr.. Kennedy.
In comparing notes it was also dis
closed that there was a difference Of
but two months in their ages and that
the farms on which they had been born
were separated only by the Mahoning
river. Then 1t did not take long to de-
velop that they had attended the same
country school - classmates.
They had nearly forgotten each other
in the long separation and neither
knew the other had bsen elected to.
congress until ty good luck they were
thrown together in selecting seats.

TBE NEW INDUSTRIAL SOUTH.

The Manufacturers Record, publlshed III

an unusual degree of prosperity.
The New South has every reason TO congratu-
late itself on what it is doing and upon the am

hahilitation of its cities and the INTRODUCTION OIL

more than usual severity, the direct result of
its municipal negligence; and New-Orleans now
follows the example and is constructing an eX-
tensive and modern system of drainage which
for completeness and the conquest of engineer
ing difficulties promises TO be unsurpassed III
tho world Similar activity prevails in other
Southern cities; all seem inspired with newly
kipdled spirit of enterprise in strong contrast
with their oldtime apathy, as if they had just
discovered that the world all round them was
in motion and that they must either keep step
with its marching music or be left hopeiesSly
behind With their present showing, however,
there is no danger of this.
Thus. to take from 'The Records list
few examples of Industrial activity, it is noted
that Jacksonville Fla, which was destroyed by
fire in 1901. losing twenty-four hundred build

promising showing which the South has made
in its entire history, and is a most hopeful and
promising augury for its future.

THE WAR AGAINST GAMBLERS.

1t is not in New-York only that the profess
sional gamblers are iii at ease In Great Britain
and upon the European Continent they are OBJ
iects of reprobation and pursuit this winter to
a greater extent than in previous seasons. Even
Belgium not celebrated for excessively rigorous
scruples and prejudices has passed law which
will close the temples of the blind goddess of
chance. No more bacearat or roulette, rouge ct
noir" ''trente-etquarante," "vingt-un" or 'petts
chevaux" even at Ostend or Spa, and, of course,
poker, bridge whist, ecarte bezique and pin
ochle viii be debarred. But in the realm Of the
venerable King Leopold there will be compen-
satory awards for the owners of the casinos
whose investments are to be nullified. The Os-
tend Canfelds will receive S1,000O00 to soothe
their ruff1ed feelings and the Frank Farrells Of
Spa will pocket the neat sum of S400,vJ0.
The significant and striking feature Of it all
is that every civilized nation is becoming more
hostile as time goes on toward the Jack Hamlins
who toll not neither do they spin, but who are
arrayed, nevertheless, like unto Solomon in all
his glory, and are not satisfied with the humble
attire of the lilies of the field. Baden Baden and
Homburg were famous centres Of high play for
many year. But long ago they were swept
and garnished, and the croupiers were driven
out. The drift of things against the gamblers
is apparently irresistible.

ACHIN.

The world will welcome the announcement,
now officially promulgated at The Hague, that
the Sultan of Achin has at last yielded to Dutch
sovereignty. There are numerous reasons for
welcoming II. For one thing, men are ired of
hearing of that wretched Sumatran embroil-
ment. Years and years ago it was already an
old story. Other wars began and ended, but
Achin went right on. The Russo Turkish War,
the wars in Egypt and the Soudan the Rus
sian conquest of Central Asia, the war between
China and Japan, the Cuban revolution and
the "Yanko-Spanko" war. the tedious Boer
war, our troubles in the Philippines, and Cen
tral and South American revolutions without
number. rose, ran their courses and passed
away into the Ewigkeit, while the Achin war,
which began before them all, survived them all
In perennial bellgerence.
There was. too. the narrowing uncertainty
about the sternutatory name of the thing Some
called it Achin-the shortest and simplest form.
Others insisted that 1t must be Atchin. There
were those who maintained that unless you
spelled il Acheen you could not know salvation,
while others as steadfastly pinned their faith
10 Atcheen and regarded all other forms as
hopelessly heterodox. We have ourselves medi-
tated long over the keyboard of the clicking
typewriter or the many banked linotype ponder
ing whether ito sneeze or not to sneeze that
is the question
Most Of all, however, there will be hearty
satisfaction at the removal of this long defunct
fly from the pot of otherwise fragrant ointment
of Dutch colonial government. Holland has
long maintained one of the largest colonial en-
pires in the world, and has done so very success
fully She has, of course, paid little heed to the
theory OF the consent of the governed" In
her view of the case, East Indians-Ifke Kaffirs
in the Transvaal-were made to be governed,
willy-nilly, and Dutchmen were made to gov
ern them according to their own sweet will
That principle, curiously compounded of despo-
tism and benevolence, has on the whole worked
well, save in that one sneeze named region of
Sumatra. 1t has been source Of consdera bic
