PUBLIC PROPERTY.

It would seem that there ought to
be no question or doubt as to the own
ership of the public domain and other
public property. 1t belonged to the
people of these Islands before annexa-
ton, and the joint resolution of annex
alton provides that he laws of the
United States relative to public lands
shall not apply to the public lands of
Hawaii, but that Congress shall enact
special laws for their management and
disposition, provided that all revenue
from, or proceeds of the same
shall DE solely for the benefit of the
inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands for
educational and other public purposes. 3"
In the Territorial Act Congress has
enacted those special laws contemplate
ed in the joint resolution, by re-enact-
ing the Hawaiian land laws with some
slight changes mostly mere changes Of
phraseology, and making some limita-
lions of the power to lease, and speci-
tically providing that "all funds aris-
ing from the sale or lease or other dis
posal of such lands shall be appropriate
ed by the laws of the government of
the Territory of Hawaii and applied to
such uses and purposes for the benefit
of the inhabitants of Hawaii as are
consistent with the joint resolution of
annexation, ETC."
Congress clearly did not intend to rob
the people of the Territory of their pub
lie property, whatever others would
like to do.

is so difficult to get hot water baths,
and hot water for ordinary lavatory
purposes. No feature of Haleiwa, Col.
Iaukeas Waialua Hotel has received
more encomiums from guests from
abroad, than the abundant and constant
supply of hot water provided. In no
other English speaking country than
this, would a man expect to go into a
barber shop and not find hot water in
variably in use for shaving purposes.
But in Honolulu, only a small percen-
tage of the shops have any facilities for
heating water, or use it. If one thinks
about it, this is amazing. That shaving
brushes should be used day after day,
and on customer after customer, with
out being thoroughly scalded after each
use, is really soandalous. No amount
of washing or rinsing in water not at
the boiling point can keep a shaving
brush clean and anti-septic, any more
than receptables for milk can be kept
wholesome without being thoroughly
and frequently scalded.
At the time of the cholera epidemic,
now nearly five years ago, the effective
ness of hot water, boiling water, was
recognized. And it's use was advised
and almost made imperative in the
measures adopted to fight that plague.
But it seems to have been thought of
as an extraordinary remedy, for use in
extraordinary emergencies, instead of
being, as it is. one of the simplest, most
easily applied. and effective agents in
ordinary cleanliness, and against all
kinds of disease germs.
The Board of Health could not do n
better service to the community than to
formulate and publish a short treatise
on the value of hot water as an agent
in promoting personal and public
health.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

The Importance of the Nicaragua
canal is shown in to more clearly
than in the efforts of transportation
companies to be ready for the revolu-
ton in transportation routes which the
completion of the canal will bring about
Already the Kosmas line of steamers
is in operation between European and
Atlantic ports and San Francisco by
way of the Straits of Magellan, avow-
eddy in anticipation of the completion
of the canal, and the changes it will
bring about. The new line of freight
steamers of which o. T. Sewall is pre-
sident, undoubtedly has in view the
ultimate effects of the canal. And now
Jim Hill" of the Great Northern is
building steamers and making plans
which, while Immediately having in
view present conditions are probably
being thought out in their relation to
the great all water route across the
Isthmus.
The Pacific ocean must in the nature
of things become the great ocean of
commerce. The Nicaragua canal will
hasten that time and Hawaii and Ho-
nolulu will be the great cross roads of
the worlds ocean traffic.

1t is sometimes to be feared that in
this sub-tropical climate of ours, where
every effort is directed to keeping COOL

COAL TAKES 4 JUMP.
New Workers. Compelled to Pay
an Advance of 81 Ton for
"Pea" and "Buckwheat."

New York, Sept 26-The two quail
ties of coal known as pea and buck
wheat, which are now used for steam
generating purposes, have Jumped ur
81 a ton. Pea coal now costs the con-
sumer $3.50 and buckwheat $4.
Arising out of this advance threats
of lawsuits against dealers are already
being heard. For some time large
number of dealers under stress Of coit-
petition have consented to omit In con-
tracts which they have made with
manufacturers and large Office build
ings, the clause which permits them tn
break the agreement in case of strikes.
But despite the absence of this clause
none of the dealers would supply coal
under their contract except at the In
creased price Of 81 ton.
The consumers have no alternatives
except to submit or go without coal, but
many of them declared today that they
would appeal to the courts TO compel
the coal men to live up to their con-
tracts and to refund money paid be-
yond the amount called for In the
agreement. The retailers profess 70

He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft Of beauty towering high;
He plants home to heaven anigh

In hushed and happy twilight
heard
The treble of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants q
tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants cool shade and tender
rain.
And seed and bud of days to be,
And years that fade and bush again;
He plants the glory of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of the coming age;
The Joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants a
tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants, in sap and leaves and
wood,
In love of home and loyalty,
And far-cast thought Of civil good
His blessing on the neignborhood
Who in the hollow of his hand
Holds all the growth Of all our
land
A nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs in his heart who plants a tree.

A Narrow Escape.

The horses attached to the carriage of
Gov. Lind ran away at Smith avenue
and Walnut streets late yesterday, says
the St. Paul Dispatch of Saturday. Mrs.
Lind was in the vehicle. She jumped
out, escaping injury in way almost in
explicable. Mrs. Lind was driving home
about 6 o'clock. When IN front of St..
Luke's hospital, Smith avenue, the hors-
es became fractions. The driver did his
best to control them, but failed. The
animals started to gallop. While the
carriage was swaying from side to side
Mrs. Lind stepped onto the carriage step
and swung to the ground. Though bad.
ly frightened, she managed to keep her
balance and was not in the least injured.
The horses continued their race until
they broke the harness which held them
to the carriage. They brought up at a
telephone post several blocks down the
street. U.s."

New School Houses.

Though Minnesota has been for many
years as thickly studded with ..little red
school houses as any other Northwest
ern state, 152 new buildings have been
constructed during the past twelve
months at Il cost of $394,769. With a
total of 1908 school buildings, includ-
ing those of the rural districts, as well
as those in cities and towns, the state
paid out $S,742,9s7 in teachers wages
and taught the .sthree RS to nearly
4OO,O children.
The building which has been in pro-
gress during the past year has been
largely in the country districts. The
figures just obtained By Superintendent
j. II. Lewis of the state department of
public instruction do not show an I'M
mense amount of money spent on re-
pairs, or the comfortable fortune expend-
ed in improving the buildings Of the
three large cities of the state. With
these items included the aggregate a.
mount paid out for school buildings and
the improvement of structures previous
ly built would be more than $500, 900.
In 1899 the state built many new
school buildings and expended for Them
1911 1902. For that yeal the teachers
pay rolls amounted to IS, Az, 1926. Dur
ing the past year there has been gener-I
al advance in teachers wages which par
TALLY accounts for the $39S, 1854 increase
in the total Of the pay rolls. A portion
of this money was used to pay the wages
of the 152 additional teachers.
New Ulm review., 1900-12-19

Chicago Chronicle: Jan. /, 1901, is
looked upon as the beginning of the Goth
century since the birth of Christ, the
probability is, however that we entered
on the twentieth century some four years
ago. Christ was born during the reign
of Herod, and Helod died in the Roman
year 750, which was 1903 or 1904 years
ago.
Not until the sixth century was the
Christian era introduced into Italy and
this date was not used in England until
the eighth century. Dlonysius, Roman
monk, instituted the change. He accept
ed the Christian tradition which placed
the birth of Christ in the twenty eighth
year in the reign of Augustus. Dlonysi-
US thinking the reign of Augustus began
on the day when he assumed the title of
Augustus instead Of four years earlier,
as was the fact, miscalculated the birth
of Christ by four years.
. The discovery of the error was made
in the earlier part of the present century,
but wise men have not seen fit to sug-
gest change. Dionysius did not begin
the year with Jan. l, but on March 25,
the date of the annunciation of the Vir-
gin Mary.
