To the State. Washington, D. C., January 20. —I cannot resist the impulse to say a word of corameudatiou of the inaugural address of Governor Ellerhe. (it is most excellent of style and the tone and temper and matter of it is above criticism. Of course I do not agree with him in his endorsement of the dis pensary. That institution is, in my opinion, radically and funds* mentally wrong in principle, and indefensible iu practice, but Gov ernor Ellerbe discusses it with the fairness and frankne s of patriotic couvhtion and therefore will com mand the respect and confidence of those who do not agree with him. The address of Governor Ellerbe is in most refreshing contrast with the screeds that have been fulmi- rainated by his immediate prede cessors, and the good people of the State are certainly to be congrat ulated oi» the improvement iu their chief executive officer, and the harbinger of a decent, digni fied administration, which the re cent inauguration promises. He ought to have the cordial support of all good citizens, and I trust will receive it. Taxation ha- been increased without,as it seem- to me, compensative benefits com mensurato with the increase. Pub lic offices have been multiplied be yond the number needful for good administration, and sources of revenue have been recklessly im paired that might have been fos tered and secured, but we have as- sura-oes now that the State gov ernment vill address itself, pa triotically, to bringing about hon est reforms where evils are dis covered, instead of foment ng dis cord and inviting antagonisms among the people. I predict for Governor Ellerbe a prosperous, peaceful, houest ad ministration, for I know him to be a straight forward, honest and capable man. M. C. Butler. THE EIGHTH DAY.

Mayor Day has inaugurated a new system of ridding th# city of tramps. Every tramp arrested for vagrancy will be imprisoned or serve his time on the chain gang. The mayor should be ccm- mended for this action. Several tramps were tried this morning and fined $2 or committed to the guard house or chain gang for four day#. It is to be hoped that this new system will break up the tramp brigade and afford protec tion to the citizens of oar city. NEW YORK IS GUARDED. The Bubonio Plague Will Not Eater That Port. All Mall la Disinfected. New York, Jan ai.—The mail from India, which is being dis tributed to-day in this city, and which arrived on the steamship Teutonic from Liverpool, has been thoroughly fumigated by orders of Health Officer Doty, to guard against any possibility of danger from the bubonic plague. This fumigation marks the first official recognition of the existence of the scourge. As soon as fhe Teutonic reached quarantine all the mail matter from the infected district was transferred to the disinfecting boat James M. Wadsworth, where it was put through the process in such cases. In ord'r to prevent the intro duction of the plague into this city, President Wilson, of the Health Board, has instructed all i officers of th« department to make careful investigation of anything which may give local physicians a most rapid diagnosis. Doctors : Biggs and Brudden are engaged in ! such experiments. Local physi- | cians admit that they have little knowledge of the scourge, except ^ what they have obtained by read- i ing.
