IT is A INDUSTRIOUS EVIL.

The evils of intemperance are so manifest
and so monstrous that the state is compelled
to recognize them, and 10 take action against
them in its own defense. The state is CON
cerned in the welfare not only of its own
communities, but of every family and indi-
vidual under its dominion. The influences
which tend TO undermine health and shorten
life, TO cripple labor and prevent thrift 10
produce paupers and increase criminals are
clearly hostile 10 the State, and IL is the duty
OF Cue State 10 suppress them as far as posi-.
BILE. The life of the humblest individual is as
sacred as that of its most honored citizen,
and the State is under obligation TO provide
all possible safeguards not only against all
attempts TO destroy it, but against all Cpl.
denies and plaques and sources of disease.
The State has the same solicitude for the
moral welfare of the citizen In short, the
State not only has the power To provide for
the public safety, the public health,
and the public morals but IL can
not, as we have already shown
by citations from decisions of the Supreme
Court OF the United States "divest ITSELF Of
that power. The very purpose for which
government is organized is to exercise il.
The State in its care for the public health
prohibits the sale of impure and unwhOle-
some articles of food. Unripe or decayed
fruit, diseased meat, adulterated milk, are
seized and destroyed and the dealers punished.
The sale Of articles dangerous to life or limb
or health is regulated or prohibited. Boards
of health are established 10 investigate COM
mon sources of disease, and 10 abate them as
nuisances and may exercise extraordinary
powers in the prevention or suppression Of
contagious diseases. The necessity for pre-.
serving the public health is SO clearly recog-
nized under our Government that the States
may, despite the constitutional right of Con.
gress exclusively 20 regulate interstate com.
merce, prevent tho importa: on Of infected
articles and establish quarantine regulation.

Captain Farquhar,s Letter.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-In his official re
port to Admiral Kimberly relative to the
loss Of the Trenton, Captain Farquhar,
commander, states that in his opinion the
ship has broken in two places. He states it
is possible the ship might be foated to the
dock with the assistance of the powerful
pumps used by wreckIng companies, but as
there are no facilities of any kind at hand,
she will be total loss.
Captain Farquhar says: 81 attribute the
loss of the ship, primarily, to the location
OF the hawse pipes. l have several times
reported officially against their location to
the navy department. Through them" he
further states, water poured and put out
the fires, notwithstanding precautions
taken" after detailing the action of the
storm on his vessel, Captain Farquhar
thanks Admiral Kimberly for his earnest
counsel and for keeping US in good cheer,
particularly when in our greatest danger
by.your good example" During the trying
days" he continues, "the officers sustained
the reputation that our navy is so proud Of
The crew generally worked well. Lieuten-
ant Brown, navigator, was by my side toe
whole time and to his excellent Judgment
at one time thesship was cleared of the reef.
Had we struck it l fear of the four hundred
souls on board the Trenton not one would
be alive to-doy.''
Captain Farquhar's last paragraph is as
follows: 81 respectfully demand court of

WASHINGTON, April cot has become a
subject of inquiry of much Importance to
banking and mercantile interests whether
the ensuing Both of April is such public
or legal holiday as to justify the payment
and presentation of maturing notes, bills
of exchange, etc, on the next proceeding
or subsequent day of the late proclamation
the President issued the 4th instant, which
appoints a day of thanksgiving
There is no invocation to- thanksgiving
further than is to be implied necessarily
from the preamble stating the object of the
proclamation. This is sufficient, however,
to characterize the day and to fulfil the
conditions of the statutes of 'S4 referred to-
There would seem to be no rea-
son ufor doubt that the bankers
may close their doors on that day
as on Sunday in particular states and the
District of Columbia wherever the general
laws contain the provisions before men
toned. The question has been presented
to the solicitor of the treasury with regard
to national banks and the foregoing is in
accord with this opinion as expressed to the
comptroller of the currency.

COWBOYS on the Make.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-There are cow
boys now lying along the river bank who
will make grand rush and having feet
horses and knowing the country well will
soon reach very desirable claims. They
will sell their rights for what they
can make and then move upon
another site. The South Canadian has
fallen in the past few days, and if
there is no further raise, it can be easilys
forded on the opening day The river a
crossed by the railroad bridge is about a
mile in length, and when the stream was at
its height, and the men began to think
they could not reach the promised land,
BY fording the streams, they took an in
genious method to accomplish their end. At
night, when they thought there were few
or no trains they would put their wa CONS
on the bridge and pushing and pulling them
with ropes reach the other side. The
horses they would swim across.
The raid yesterday afternoon resulted in
the finding of not as many boomers as first
expected. There were many, no doubt, in
Oklahoma, but so well concealed that few,
comparatively speaking, were routed
out. Deputy Lundy found in a
ravine a man lying beneath some
things only. The things he had to
sustain life, except long linen sack partly
filled with crackers On these it was his
intention and hope to subside until the 22d.
At another place quite a large party was
found, and taken prisoners after a some
what lively engagement. They were held
prisoners, and discharged to join the colony
with which they say they were all con-
nected

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch, ]
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-A telegram was
received at the war department yesterday
afternoon from General Merritt, command
| ing the department of the Missouri, stating
that he had left his headquarters for the
| Oklahoma district and that arrangements
were made for the prompt appearance Of a
large number of troops at any section of
the district where trouble may arise. The
war department is not informed as to just
what troops have been ordered to the scene
of expected trouble, but every confidence
is felt in General Nlerritt's ability to cope
with any difficulty that may arise; and that
in ordering troops there has been exercised
prudence and wisdom in selecting them
and providing for their distribution after
arrival.
The officials of the land Office are deiuged
with letters from every part of the country
asking for information regarding Okla
homa. Such has been the demand for in
formation that large quantities of maps,
circulars of information, and copies of the
homestead laws have been printed.
From the arsenal, which is kept
supplied by the government printing
office, the assaulted land officials draw their
supplies of ammunition, and have been
able to keep up a rattling fire in return. In
cases where printed matter fails to answer
every question, letter is written. 1t is
thought that everybody would be fully
posted on the subject of Oklahoma The
land office officials say, however, that there
is one point that people generally do not
seem to appreciate: that is, there are only
some ten thousand quarter sections of
land in Oklahoma and only ten
thousand people can locate. What
the rest of the great multitude which
is said to be ready to invade Oklahoma next
week is going to do is serious question.
All the books and plats have been for
warded to the new country, and the land
Office will be ready for business when the
time comes. The land office has nothing
more to dc in regard to opening Oklahoma,
except to answer questions as stated. That
is being done at the rate of two or three
hundred per day.
Mr.. H. H. usk, editor and proprietor of
the Parsons, Kansas, Sun, who is in Wash
ington, and who comes from the border of
the promised land, does not share with
army officers and others the fear expressed
about serious trouble in Oklahoma. This
newspaper talk" he says, "about blood
shed in Oklahoma, is greatly exaggerated
There may be some bloodshed, but not
more than there usually is over land dis
putes. As rule, the people who will go
in there are laW-abiding citizens"

Commander MulIan,s Storr.

WASHINGTON, April20.-COmmande Null
Ian, Of the Nipsic, begins his official report
to Admiral Kimberly by expressing his re-
greet that he was compelled TO beach the
vessel to save her from total destruction
and to save the lives of his command.
He says the vessel had three anchors
down and veered to their full scope as far
as possible in order not to collide
with either the Olga or the Eber.
During the height of the hurricane and
at about am, March IS, the Olga fouled
the Nipsic, carrying away the whale boat,
dIngey and part Of the railing OF the poop
deck, bending the davits, etc. About 8
pm. the Olga again fOuled, carrying away
the hammock rail, part of the smoke stack.
the steam launch and a second cutter. Hav-
ing lost the smoke stack and there
being no draft, Commander Mullen
says he found it necessary to use
being made to get the forecastle gun
overheard as an additional anchor to the
starboard, the hawser chain parted and the
ship continued to drag toward the reef
Finding 1t impossible to keep up steam,
Commander Mullan decided to beach the
Nipsic in order to save life; 50 the chains
were slipped and the ship beached in front
of the United States consulate The gig
capslzed when being lowered and seven
men were lost. Lines We're then cast
ashore and all hands escaped.
Commander Mulan then gives in detail a
most formidable and technical list of the
injuries sustained by the Nipsic. In con
clusiOn, Commander Mullen said everything
was done that could have been done to say {
the vessel from total wreck and the lives Of
those attached to the ship.

likely to exist.
1t IS understood that negotiations are still

Germany and Italy are almost as much in
