queer Accident to a lighthouse.

Under somewhat extraordinary cir
cumstances the Dover promenade pier
sustained extensive damage some time
ago, when a full sized ship-the Chris
tine, of Bremen-ran into it, between s
and 8 o'clock. The pier was opened
last May and the head, which is now
extensively damaged, was only COM
pleted a short time ago. The Chris
tine, new iron four-masted vessel of
about 1,500 tons, was on a voyage from
Dunkerpue to Philadelphia, in ballast.
The captain states he had come into
the bay to land a French channel pilot.
1t was q clear night, and the form of
the pier could be distinctly defined,
while the regulation board of trade
light in the lighthouse on the pierhead
was burning brightly. About $50 a
heavy crash was heard ashore and the
form of a large vessel was seen at the
pierhead. All lights on the pier were
extinguished, the gas mains having
been fractured in the collision. The
public were with difficulty kept off the
pier, but help was quickly despatched
to the pierhead, with which the Chris
tine lay entangled for a long time. A
harbor tug was obtained and the life
boat was got out in readiness to be
launched if necessary. The vessel
struck the pier-head at right angles,
carrying away the lighthouse as fairly
L,
making a wide breach for a distance
of about forty feet, One of the wind
screens was also cut through, and a
large quantity of the iron rail and
seats of the pier were broken. The
damage is roughly estimated at about
1000. There was a fresh eaSterly
breeze blowing in shore at the time,
and it was nearly low water, so that
the ship was about 800 yards from the
shore. AS the damage shows, the
Christine was heading as nearly as
possible right in shore when the blow
was struck the vessel taking the
ground just after the collision The
tug, however, succeeded in getting her
off when the tide rose, and as she had
sustained little damage she was able
to proceed on her voyage. An accident
under such circumstances Is said to
be unknown on the coast. Deal pier
was once run into, but that was during
less.-London Telegraph

of pride with some men never to be

The Denver inspectors began the war
on these bond companies. They start

A Court House Needed.

The question of building a county
courthouse in Sanpete county is about
to be agitated once more It is now
over three years since the people of
the county decided by their votes,
that the county seat should remain at
Manti and there is every reason to be-
lieve that another trial would result
in a more emphatic answer than be-
fore. Four years ago the court de-
cided that a courthouse was needed
and the financial condition of the
county justified the expenditure. Since
that time conditions have changed but
little in these respects. We need the
building even worse than before, and
we are IN a better condition for build
ing.

Are We Unpatrfotic.

Walter Besant, in his American
Notes la Charles Dickens, has open
ed the way to a more severe criticism
than did the latter famous author
after his first visit to America. At the
time of Dickens visit in 1912, the
country west of New York was COM
paratively sparsely populated. The
now great west was not even dreamed
of. Mr.. Dickens found much to criti-
else, and in some cases very justly
Fifty-one years later, when the crown
ing triumph of our wonderful progress
has been achieved in the celebra ton of
our five hundredth anniversary, Mr..
BeSant calmly takes up his pen and tells
the world that were it not for the con-
tinual Haunting of the stars and stripes
before the peoples eyes, the United
States would soon become the dis
United States Think of it-all We Gun
patrioticg Americans. You do not
love your country for country's sake
No-youre whipped into line by the
great political parties-youre taught
from your cradle not to Lore "Cld
Glory" but to fear it. Was ever a
grosser insult offered tc American
citizens? Mr.. Besant says; In so vast
a population. spread over so many
states, each state being a different
country, there win always be ignorant
men, men ready To give up everything
for a selfish adyantage-there must al
ways be danger unless 1t he con
tinually met and beaten down"
Where in the world did this writer OBJ
tain his Siberian education in the
United States, unless he possibly spent
most of his time among the Chicago
anarchists? Well may he say that the
ignorant emigrants foisted upon US by
his own and other foreign countries
have to be taught what citizenship
means. 1t is through this element
that a score of brave. Americans met
their death at Chicago some years ago.
We don't want them We take them
simply out of charity because they
stand at our gates imploring us to
have pity on their poverty, brought
about by the conditions existing in
their mother country.
1t is comforting to reflect that he
found the country full of youthful of
energy-full of enterpriSe-With no fear
of poverty such as exists in his own
country. We have no apology to make
for our choice of history either Why
should not the history of the United
States begin with the Union? If we
were English we would possibly have
more appreciation for the Every beauti-
| full and noble history before the
| Union" shared with Great Britain
but we are Americans and glory in it,
and as Mr.. Besant says, Our country
must be all our own" Then why dis
ruption, if you please?
The United States today stands peer
less in the history of the energy and
enterprise of the--world We venture
| to say that Mr.. Besant could not en-
ploy his time to better advantage than
to come over and catch little of the
youthful infection Of the country. Pos
sibly by the time he'd visited in the
great west and a few other places be-
sides New York, Buffalo and Chicago,
he'd take back with him to his native
soil little more important plumber, q,
he calls it, than the astonishing perpe-
tuity of our youth and the homage we
pay to "Old Glory"
