THE BATTLE OF JULY THIRD.
designation for the Great Sea Fight In
Which Admiral Cervera's Squad
ron was Destroyed.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-A name has
been found at last for the remarkabl
naval battle between the American
and Spanish ships that resulted in the
destruction of Cervera's squadron. The
absence of a name has been felt n the
clumsy attempts made in official reports
to refer to the engagement. Lieut.
Whittlesey, of the navigation bureau,
has evolved a name that is likely to be
formally adopted for the engagement.
1t is The Battle of July Third"
He does this for the reason that some
of the most famous battles that
the world has known have
been christened as of the dat,
upon which they were fought.
Thus the Battle of July One, was at
tached to the famous naval engage
ment fought in mid-ocean between
Lord Howe's feet on one side and the
combined French and Spanish fleets on
the other, which resulted in memora-
bic victory for the British navy.

The Fargo Argus appears put out be
cause there is considerable divorce bust
ness done in Mandan, and seeks to con-
vey the impression to Divorces that the
brand of divorce granted at Mandan
will not. hold with that dealt out at
Fargo. It cannot be possible of course
that the Argus is jealous of the business
done by Mandan in this line, to the
financial detriment of Fargo and the
financial benefit of Mandan-it merely
seeks to warn Divorces out of pure dis
interestedness and goodness of heart
certainly. But 80 far as North Dakota
divorces of the three months variety
are concerned-for Fargo to designate
the Mandan divorces unsafe is like the
pot and kettle. So long as the present
law is on the statute books, no matter
in what part of the state the divorce in

A FAvoRITE excuse for the improved
condition of the farmers which the free
silver advocates offer, now that they are
compelled to admit an improved condi-
ton, is a statement that the improve
ment comes from the extraordinary de-
mand for wheat, due entirely to the
shortage of crops abroad. How do they
account, however, for the fact that
practically everything else produced by
the farmer has advanced in the de-
Tense Of their assertion that moth
ing but an increase of the cur
rency Of the country, through
the free coinage of silver, could bring an
advance? Recent publications, com
piled by the highest authorities, show
that practically all of the articles pro.
duced by farmers have advanced ma.
terially since the declaration made by
the Chicago convention, and by Mr.,
Bryan and his followers in the campaign
which followed, to the effect that only
an increase Of currency through free
coinage could advance prices.

RELIABLE advices from Klondike dis
close a condition which thinking people
have agreed must exist-that there is a
shortage of food and no work for the
many who have rushed heedlessly into
the gold fields, without any definite idea
of what to do-and the indications favor
the prevalence of much suffering. Not
withstanding this, the thousands of ex-
cited fortune hunters will rush into the
region, only to learn by bitter expert
ence what advice might teach them, if
they were willing to heed it. Klondike
is a craze and must wear itself out, like
others.
