The Assessment Question

Commenting on the A~PPEAL's propo-
sition to assess all State property up to
its full cash value and reduce the assess
ment rate, the Journal says:
Good sense and sound logic, every
werd of it. Correspondingly lower rates.
and full valuation would even up things,
bringing Into the State and county treas
urles as much money AS under the pres
ent system of high rates and low valua-
tions. while the tax paver would have to
make no heavier drafts upon their purses.
Take the Contra Pacific railroad for in
stance. 1t is assessed for about one-sixth
of its full valuation, If the rate should
be reduced tive-sixthS and the property
assessed at It's fall Valuation probably
the company would make no kick, but
would pay their ta1es as cheerfully As

MASS ON OCEAN LINER.
Obstacles In the Way of Divine Ser
vice On Board Shin.

The obstacles to be met with by
priests who endeavor to celebrate Mass
on the big ocean liners during the
journey across the Atlantic have been
the subject of discussion in the Dublin
F'reeman's Journal. From some
quarters came the charge that the
steamship companies We're responsible.
In this connection the following state
ment from Mgr. Nugent Of London, is
interesting:
For the last twenty years L have
crossed the Atlantic, both ways not
once. but ten or a dozen times, on near
ly all the ships of the White Star line.
L have never celebrated Mass crossing
the Atlantic, for it was not prudent to
90 so; but L have frequently given the
Rosary and a short practical address to
the stecrage passengers when i felt
equal to it, and the weather permitted
them to listen to me. l have done this
on the Celtic, Germanic and TeutOnic;
yes, L have celebrated Mass on the
TeutOnic whilst she anchored off Spit
head at the Queens Jubilee In all
cases 1 first asked permission from the
commander. and was never refused. but
every convenience and facility were
readily accorded.
The writer of the letter must bear in
mind that to celebrate Mass at sea, the
priest must have special permission
from ecclesiastical authority: he must
have a clerical attendant: and, further,
he must have the necessary appliances
"a portable altar. vestments, etc. Al
these are absolutely necessary, as well
as favorable weather Ny experience
of the Atlantic has been such that in
twenty years there were only two Sun
days that 1 could have safely Celebrated
Mass. A service consisting of English
prayer. hymns and a sermon does not
depend so much upon the weather /
know by long experience and personal
contact. the broad and liberal spirit OF
the owners of the White Star line in
its every department. and that in their
code of regulations they would not
offer any slight or insult to Catholics,
or would they tolerate such on the part
of any officer in the service. Further 1
am bound to say. from my own knowl-
edge that they have given Instructions
regarding the celebration of Mass shall
be acceded 10, where it is possible to
do So My experience and knowledge
of the actual state of this matter in
duces me thus to write, and further,
am convinced that the facilities that
have been always given to me, win, if
applied for, be readily granted

Admirals Sampson and Schley for adj

The administration is disposed to

may finally decide to let the matter
drop When Rear Admiral Sampson
was here he talked with Secretary
Long on the matter Of re-submitting
the nominations He is naturally graf
flied at the support received from the
administration, but does not want to
embarrass the president or secretary.

miral. in the hope that the president

south of Tucson, Ariz. Service is no

Byzantine and Moorish architecture.
The frescoes are scenes from the life
