\ Monument to lie Erected to Column
bus ut Buenos Ayrcs.
\ recent publication in the Argentine
Republic contains the following:
America as well as Europe, hastens to
honor the memory of the worthy discOv-
erer of the New World, to whom Christian
civilization owes so much. Among other
projects is the laudable one initiated at
Buenos Ayrcs of erecting in that city a
beautiful stone monument rs a remem-
bTancc of Christopher Columbus
His Holiness, the Pope, has given his
hearty. appreciation of this proposition in
the following beautiful letter addressed to
the committee at Buenos Ayres
1--WE have learned with great satisfac-
ton from your letter that your association
has decided 10 erect in yourcity splendid
monument TO the honor of the name and
memory of Christopher Columbus, and
YOU were right in believing that this pro-
iect would receive our approval. II is
proper, as well as useful, to render homage
to those magnanimous men who have
merited so well of Christian faith and
human society. Columbus, in accom-
plishing, by his genius and perseverance,
such great deeds, has been the fountain in
both hemispheres of SO great influences
upon mankind that few men can he conf
pared with him.
But If his memory Is so highly revered
by us 1t is above all because, in beginning
such difficult voyages, enduring SO great
fatigues and confronting such immense
evils, he had for his object the opening of
a road to regions unknown to the teashers
of the Gospel, and wished to spread the
knowledge Of the true God and gain for
Jesus Christ uncounted races who were
submerged in darkness.
Hoping that the honols rendered to
Ia 30 Ill g.. rts lao
many others, that they may emulate his
example and show forth thes virtues,
we give to your project the praise that it
merits, and at the same time as a token
of our fraternal love we grant, from the
bottom of four hearts, to you, dear son,
and each one of your associates, the apos-
tolical benediction. LEO XIII, Pope"

AN AUTOMATIC GAS COCK.
Hotel Guests May Now Blow Out d
Gas with IlnDunitV

Hotel Guests May Now Blow Out the
Gas With Impunity.
A recent invention is device for auto
matically shutting off the gas when it has
been carelessly or accidentally blown out
instead Of being turned off in the usual
way. The principle upon which the in
ventiOn is based is the expansion and CON
traction of Il metallic loop made of Ger
man SILVER and steel, and which is adj
iusted very close to the gas fame. one
end of the loop is free while the other is
secured 10 the fixture. A valve control
ling the gas is attached to the free end,
and when the gas is burning the valve
is open and the gas freely escapes. II,
however, the gas is blown out the loop
will quickly cool and contract, and the
valve will shut off the gas. IL ls said that
the device is exceedingly simple, and it
responds quickly to the changes in tenn
perature. As il does not get out Of order
easily, which has always been The trouble
with devices Of similar character, it may
prove a great boon 10 hotel pr1prietors.

TINE NEW ASSESSMENT.

Last year there was added to the assessed
values of taxable property in this District
more than St,uOO.OOO. This sum was de
rived from the assessment OF improve
mcnts upon real estate Assessor THMRtr
thinks the amount to be added this year
will nearly if not quito reach the same
figure. Just when the new assessment
will be made has not yet been determined.
the law only requiring that it be done
prior TO July /, the beginning of the new
fiscal year
The members of the now board Of per
manent assessors provided for in the Dis
tnct Appropriation bill passed at the late
session of Congress are required TO be APP
pointed by the zane date, July1. Up to
this time the Commissioners have not
been able to give much consideration TO
these new officers, all the time they have
been able tu take from their daily routine
duties for the past month or so having
been occupied by hearings in the matter
of liquor licenses. The routine affairs
which press upon them for determine
from day tu day are many, urgent, and
onerous. Tho rendering of decisions in
the license applications is necessarily slow
work when the Commissioners are, as
are the present incumbents just, fair
minded and conscientious officials.
These tedious labors are drawing to an
End, and when they are done with the
new Assessors will he appointed. These
appointments evil, Of course, be made
early enough To enable the appointecs to
arrange their business affairs 50 they can
devote their whole time TO the work Of as
sessment, rs the law coutcmpates.
Assessor THNnLE, who aided the Com
missioners very materially in bringing
about the change in the law, believes that
with the right sort of men constituting
that board, and no others are likely to be
appointed, the new triennial assessment
will foot up handsome increase overa
previous valuation The last assessment
was made in 1850. The new one will be
made during the coming fiscal year, and
will naturally show greatly increased
valuation.
Washington in 1892 will be worth
much more than it was in 1850" said Mr..
TrMpLr. 81 should be willing to take the
difference and retire"
Besides this natural increase it is thought
that the new Board of Assessors will per.
form their duties not moro conscien
tiously perhaps, but more carefully and
more intelligently than the old temporary
board and with a vastly better opportunity
TO arrive az a just valuation for taxable
PURPOSES than the old board
1t is the general opinion OF all the onl-
GERS having in charge the financial affairs
of the District that no increase in the tax
rate will be necessary.

A CORRESPONDENT takes exceptions 10 q
paragraph which appeared in yesterdays
edition of TnE CRITIC referring to Father
lGNATIrs. We are glad to give him and
Father lGNATIUs the benefit of publica-
ton of his letter. There Is no disposition
an the part of THE Critic TO belttle
Father lGNATIUs or his work-certainly
not 10 misrepresent him. We have a
right, however, to our opinion as to the
usefulness of monasteries or any other
form of religious seclusion. Father
lGNATIUs processes TO make Christ his
model and finds fault with the world for
mot doing likewise; yet we do not at this
moment recall any word of Christ's look
ing to the establishment of monastcrics or
to-aauption of any of the usages of those
institutions. The monastery is nothing
buta relic of the dark ages which pre-
ceded Christianity, and belongs TO the
machinery of Oriental mysticism, instead
Of to wholesome and enlightened
practices of the day i'm which we
live. Father lGNATIus may think
il is diving for Jesus only" to go
of and shut himself up in a retreat and
spend his time in prayer, but we take the
liberty Of thinking otherwise We do not,
however, wish to offer him the smallest
afiront or injustice, and if anything pub
lshed in THE Carrie is susceptible of that
construction, we take occasion to offer the
fullest and most sincere apologies.
