FEr1ALE MAIL.

That sounds more contradictory than
il is, when attention is called to its being
a description of the largest mail received

sively from women. This female mail"
is received by DR.. r. V. Pierce, the cele-
brated specialist i'll women's diseases,
chief consulting physician to the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buff
falo, N. Y.
1t is only fair to say that it is not the
maj that women write to, but the doctor.
One of the remarkable features of this
correspondence is that years after a cure
has been effected, grateful women con-
tinue to- write to DIR. Pierce, being thank
full for health and for the kind and
fatherly advice, which was blended with
the PHYSICIANS counsel, and which was
so helpful in preserving the health when
regained.
The offer of a free consultation by let
ter is extended by DR.. Pierce to every
sick and ailing ON Every letter
received is read in private, answered in
private and its contents treated as a sa-
cred confidence. To exclude any third
party from the correspondence, all

PROBLEM FOR HAWAII.
Influx Of japanese Contract Laborers o
Serious Matter.

BOSTON, May 6.-Joshua K. Brown,
United States Chinese inspector at Ha-
vail, has made report to the commits
sioner-general OF immigration relating
to the introduction OF Asiatic labor into
the islands. In the course OF the re-
port he says that the executive council
is now earnestly considering the ques-
tion, but with reference TO the present
needs OF the Islands ia their rapidly in
creasing agricultural development as
to the effect an attempt to meet the in
creasing demand for labor may have
upon their future relations TO the
''home government" This has resulted
10 notice TO the planters association
that some policy must be adopted look
ing to the restriction of the present in
fiux OF Asiatic laborers.
The public, Mr.. Brown asserts, is
thoroughly imbued with the idea that
the large number OF japanese laborers
brought to the islands since annexa-
tion has already aroused antagonism
in the United States and a continuance
OF the policy will result in colonial,
rather than in a territorial, form oil
governm ent for the islands, while, on
the other hand, it is admitted that the
material prosperity Of the country will
be seriously hindered If foreign labor
cannot be obtained for the large areas
OF land now being rapidly brought I'M
der cultivation.
| The whole number OF Japanese labor
ers admitted to the islands since an
Dexation, Mr.. Brown says, Is IL, 1870
OF this number 1851 were free, the
only requirement being that each indi
vidual shall be the possessor Of $50 il
gold or its equivalent. The remaining
1895 were contract laborers. These
contracts are simply that the laborer
shall work for the contractor three
years on the stipulated terms. At thu
end OF that period he is at liberty u
remain in the country or leave it at hi
own pleasure. About half Of the pop
ulation, Mr.. Brown says, is Asiatic ant
the number Of Japanese exceeds tn
Chinese about 10000. He predicts tina
before the end Of the present year tn
Asiatic population OF these Islands vii
largely exceed all other nationalitie
combined and the excess Of Japanes
over Chinese will be fully double wha
1t Is now.

Conference Of Governors.

Governor Sayers OF Texas has declared
an intention OF calling conference of
the governors and attorney generals of
all the States for the purpose of con-
sulting upon concert of legislation to
put down the trust evil.
Austin or Dallas is expected to be the
place at which the conference will be
held, and the 18th Of June the time.
Governor Sayers is an earnest and
consistent antagonist Of monopoly and
the sentiment OF his state is in hearty
accord with him. His attitude and in
tention are set forth in the following
statement to Republic correspondent:
81 want trusts destroyed 10 the interest
Of legitimate business and the public
welfare. When the Texas Legislature
passes the law now before it, or one APP
proximately similar, will then call the
conference Of governors and attorney
generals with view of inaugurating a
definite policy by the states based on
uniformity of legislation"
The practical wisdom OF the plan pro-
posed is obvious. 1t is calculated to or
ganize uniform standard OF repressive
legislation In all the states and thereby
make the crushing OF trusts both com
prehensive and effective.-Republic.

Congressman Roberts Case.

Congressman Roberts, of Utah, will
have fight on his hands when Con-
gress meets In December. He will be
seated; there is no question about that,
but to hold it will give him the trouble.
Many church organizations and soci-
cites of different kinds in the East are
laying the foundation for strong move
against him when the session OF Con-
gress opens at Washington. The petit
tions for his expulsion contain names
as long as census reports.
But The NEWS does not see how
Congress can go behind the recognition
which the government has given to
the Mormon church. A Mormon elder
has been commissioned chaplain in the
army and this is q virtual recognition
Of the Mormon religion by the govern
ment, and Il way Of placing it on a level
and side by side with other churches.
How can Congress expel duly elected
member OF the Mormon church from
its body when the government recog-
nizes one OF the same church as q

County Salary Law.

The supreme court OF the state has
affirmed the validity of the county sal.
airy law enacted by the last Legislature
with the exception of that portion OF
the section authorizing county commits
sioners TO fix their own salaries. The
opinion in part is:
"There Is nothing in our constitution,
which directly or indirectly sanctions
the principle OF county officer fixing
his own salary. On the other hand the
trend Of our laws, both fundamental
and statutory, and public policy forbid
the principle. We do not think that
the legislature has authority TO vest
even discretionary power in any Off
Ger to fix his own salary. Common
honesty, public morals and the protec-
tion OF the individual citizens, demand,
pro publico bono, that such practice
should be tolerated. 1t Is a well de-
fined public policy 10 this state that no
person, acting in an official capacity,
shall fix the price OF materials fur
nished the public, or fix the compensa-
| ton for services rendered by him for
the public. The law wisely protects a
public officer from the temptation OF
being too generous In the matter OF
fixing his own compensation. Our con-
clusion is, that the act in question is
valid, except that part thereof which
attempts to authorize county commits
sioners to determine what amount OF
salary between $3.50 and 81 600 per an.
nun they shall receive. Inasmuch as
boards Of county commissioners 10 the
various counties OF the state have al
ready by order designated the salaries
to be received by all county officers,
we deem 1t best to suggest that the or.
ders made by the boards OF county com.
missioners, 80 far as their own com
pensation is concerned, are void, and
that until further legislation is had
county commissioners will receive the
compensation now fixed by statute, viz
six dollars for each day actually and
necessarily engaged In transactiDe
county business, not to exceed five hun
dred $500 for any one year, and al
actual and necessary expenses incurred
by them Sin the performance OF officia
duty The constitutional amendment
and act under consideration repeal thai
part Of the act of February 23d, 1893
which allows mileage to county com
missioners.'"

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
BLACKFUoT. IDAHO, MAY 10, 1899,
Nave Troubles, Toe.

The Vanderbilts with their millions
and millions of gold are not supremely
happy people. Skeletons are hid in
their closets, and, when the doors Of
their palatial dwellings are closed
against the noise Of the streets, come
out from their hiding places and give
the families trouble.
The latest trouble to them Is the
hasty marriage Of Mrs. Jessie A. Sloane
to Perry Belmont. Mrs. Sloane is of
the house Of the vanderbilts. On the
18th day of April last, her husband,
Henry T. Sloane was granted divorce
from her, and within four hours and
thirty minutes time she went from her
New York home over into Connecticut
and married Perry Belmont. Such hasty
actions carried trouble to her kindred,
and gave rise to much gossip in the cir
Gle Of ''The Four Hundred"
But the gossip has been ali the more
since the circle read the decree of d.
vorce which says: SIT shall be unlaw-
full for the said Jessie A. Sloane to
marry again until Henry t. Sloane is
actually dead" This, of course, meant
in the state of New York, and hence
the flight to Connecticut. For a year
and more tongues were busy in talk
about Mrs. Sloane and Mr.. Belmont,
but it was not believed they would ever
marry, until the decree Of divorce was
made public.
Just how Mrs. Belmont will prepare
soothing poultices for the wounded
feelings of the members Of the Wander
bils house, if she prepares them at all,
does not appear. She is independent
and acts to suit herself Mr.. Sloane
was rated as ten times a millionaire
and Mr.. Belmont as six times, but what
figure do four millions cut in family
affair when home is not happy and
love flies out of the window to another's
home. Mrs. Belmont may claim to be
happier by her course, but she has
brought grief to her two children
whom she has lost to herself forever,
and to the house Of her kindred.
