the kind ever held in this country. The

Fergus Falls Visited by the Most Severe
Storm In Its History.
FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, June IA
The heaviest hail storm ever known in
this section visited this city at p m.
and in 10 minutes did an immense
amount OF damage, while the injury to
crops cannot yet be estimated. The
storm came over from the northwest
and was evidently Of considerable ex-
tent. Some chunks of ice as large as a
mans fist were exhibited. Practically
all the windows in the city on the
north and west sides of buildings were
broken, only the heaviest plate glass
escaping. Several small washouts
along the railroads are already reported.
A large area Of crops was fiattened to
the ground, especially southeast of the
city, but the best judges assert that as
most of the wheat had not vet jointed
out the greater part of it will recover
itself and come out all right. Wheat
that has already jointed is undoubt ID.
ly total loss and fields will have to oe
plowed up.

OH this side the Atlantic, and the strug-
CLING nations south of Mexico have been
encouraged 10 look upon the United States
as their friend and protector
England is greedy for a stronger foot
hold in Central America. She would like
to control the Isthmus and the traffic be-
tween the two oceans. Venezuela and
Nicaragua are rich i'm minerals and precious
stones, and a declaration Of war would re-
suit in a conquest OF at least Venezuela,
unless this country intervened
Under the circumstances 1t would be much
better for our jiIgo Secretary OF State

settle down to the consciousness that he
cannot frighten England He can bulldoze
Hawaii, Step on Spain, promulgate peace
theories to Turkey. Mexico and other
minor powers, but when it comes to deal

PROMPT JUSTICE.

Asz.staUt District Attorney Pugh has set
a praiseworthy precedent in administrative
cOnsoiantiousness and energy by clearing
the docket OF the police court Of all Illicit
liquor cases. The real value OF his action
does mol lle SO much in his attention to
this particular class Of cases, as in putting
in bold relief the Importance Of dispatch
in the administration OF justice.
Certainty and swiftness of punishment.
rather than the excessive quantity OF il,
strike terror TO the heart OF the evI-doer.
''The laws delay" is tie criminals hope
and start For this reason Mr.. Pugh's zeal
is coumendable. He has set an example
which may well be followed in all other
courts.
Il is . common thing to find a year or
more intervening between the arrest OF
a criminal and his trial Postponement OF a
trial is frequently granted for very trining
reasons. All this is wrong. While there
should be 40 undue haste in the conduct ola
trial involving mans life or his liberty, on
the other hand, no trivial causes ought to be
permitted 10 impede the course Of admins
trative justice.
II was but the other day that a man was
tried in one OF our criminal courts for an
act done three years ago. The intervening
time had been consumed in arguing pre-
liminary motions not relating to the real
facts at issue, and other dlatory pro-
cedures. The sentiment Of the community
should BE- aroused on this point, and public
prosecutors made TO understand that So
ciety looks to theIn to do their duty, not
only carefully but swiftly.
BY quick, energetic action on their part
the cause Of good order can be much pro-
NOTED. Because this is a fact AIr. Pugh
deserves commenda ton.

ABOUT THE TINES" /"

Just one year ago this week The Times
was founded as an organ OF the people.
Its growth and popularity have become an
established fact, and this simple reference
10 its prosperity is certainly permissible.
with one exception The Times has IA larger
city circulation than any other Washington
newspaper 1t is regarded by merchants
s. a profitable medium for advertising,
and for bright, crisp. reliable news it stands
second to none in the city. Nearly every
Washington home VIII bear witness TO the
first assertion. and the columns of this
paper should be sufficient proof of the
other statements.
The Times is a tried, stanch friend to
labor Ii is also a fearless advocate of
needed reforms, and may always be relied
upon 10 project the rights of the public
1t has no friends to shield and 10 enemies
but those of the people. aud is absolutely
independent upon all religious and polit-
ical questions
AT present The Times is waging relent-
less warfare on the washington Gaslight
monopoly and the Alexander Island organ
lied band Of race track outlaws. From
a capital Of $500 600 the gas monopoly
has realized nearly 81 100000 in di-
vided profits, besides increasing it's capi-
tai stock 10 100000, and every cent
Of this enormous sum has been realized
from the gas consumers of Washington.
II is time this city had cheaper gas, and
way must be. found to secure it.
The Alexander Island disgrace has
brought 10 Washington a gang OF thieves
and thugs. Under the name of sport our
young men are robbed by outlaw racing,
and the territory south of Long Bridge
has become a den Of rogues and gamblers.
Every wel-meaning citizen knows what
it is 10 have Washington infested with such
human yoTmin, and without in the least
decying or attempting to put down legiti-
mate racing, The Times emphaticaly de-
mands the determination OF The outlaw
track and its Objectionable following.
Join I'm the crusade against these evils.
Sign the gas coupon in another column and
add your name to petition to Congress.
A,.d your voice to the hue and cry against
the outlaw track, and after these re-
forms are accomplished, The Times win
lead the way for the extinction of other
abuses
