The new public building bill provides
for the sale of the present federal build
ing in the city of Lincoln to the city at
a price not less than $4,000. The bill
might as well have fixed the price at
$4,000, because it is a safe bet that
with such a wording of the law not a
cent more than $4,000 will be offered.

The report Of the Department Of Health
makes some interesting estimates about
New York's growing population. According
to the United States census, compiled in
1900. the population Of the greater city was
3,4S7, 202. The estimated population COM
piled by the health department for the
middle Of the year 1908, 3.7S2, 1903, shows
that the population since 1900 will have
increased 295, 7O1. The health commissioner
believes that the 1900, 900 mark will be
reached in a year. The death rate for the
third week Of February shows a percentage
of 1921, as against a percentage OF 1852
for the corresponding week last year.

JUSTICE SCORES AGAIN.
Express Companies Must Not Limit

New York Tribune.
The recent decision Of the appellate term
of the supreme court in this district that
the limitations with respect to express
company receipts Of amounts OF liability for
articles damaged or lost. stolen or destroyed
are not valid is one of especial Importance

years to protect themselves from the pay
ment OF heavy claims from customers by
restrictions Of the sort which have been
declared to be without warrant of law.

ing Of the appellate Judges will appear to
be just and right. II express companies
agree to transport packages for certain
sums they ought to be required to pay the
full value of those packages IL they fail to

objects to the use of the word Amer
lean in connection with the nationality
of our foreign born citizens and would
have us stop referring to them as Ger

The history of the United States, how

much for its existence and pcrpetuation
to the m and daughters of other
countries who have given up their ma.
tive land for our institutions and who
are as patriotic and loyal as any
born here. Unlike the rich Amer
leans who expatriate themselves to get
entree into the nobility of Europe our
foreign born people, although proud Of
their Americanism, are not ashamed Of
their birthplace aud there is no good
reason they should not continue to use

in some instances these wagons were guided

the wilderness half a century before. The
pioneers were the hOnored guests, as they
should have been. on this gala occasion.
At that time there were many still living
in the state who had been among the hrst

AS trustee under the will of the late
turned over to the Board of Trustees
of the Queen Emma Hospital five very
valuable pieces or real estate on the
islands OF Hawaii and Maui. These
pieces of property, or the income from
them, rather. under the will of the late
Queen were to be devoted to the sup
port, during his life time, of the late
Prince Albert Kunuiakea. the last heir
Of the Kamehamehas. II the Prince
had had any legitimate children, It was
farther provided in the will, that these
pieces of property should descend to
them at the death OF the Prince and
become theirs in fee simple.
AS is well known, the Prince did not
leave legitimate offspring, and Mr.
Cartwright has lost no time in acting
in the matter The legacy comes as a
most agreeable surprise to the Trus-
tees of the Hospital, and will be of
great help to them in the pursuit of
the charitable work of the institution,
which was lately deprived of material
part of its endowment.
The several pieces OF property turned
over by Mr.. Cartwright are listed as
follows:
The Ahupuaa of Kealahewa, in the
Kohala district, island of Hawaii \
The Ahuppaa of kawaihae also In
the Kohala district OF Hawaii.
The Ahupuaa of kamoamoa in the
Puma district of Hawaii
The Waikahekahe in the Puma dis
trict of Hawaii
The land of Halakaa near the town
of Lahaina, Maui.
These several estates comprise large
acreage, stock grazing land, for the
most part, but some portions are coffee
and sugar lands. In fact. some of the
lands in Kohala are already under lease
10 the plantations The entire estate,
under careful management, it is esti-
mated. will produce net income of not
less than $4,000 a year.
