THE woMAN's RIGHTS MOVEMENT

| The journals and special advocates devoted
to woman suffrage are earnest and belgcr-

pettiititGn n &c. keep up quite ~, lively
centricitics and mprudencies of some of its
advocates are charged to the cause itself, as
proof that women are not fit to be entrusted
with the ballot. But reasonable and think
ing men will judge Of cause by Its merits
and not by the dement's Of its advocates. 1t
champions that do good cause most efficient
service. 1t is not those who proclaim upon
the housetops, what should be done, but
those who quietly go and do 1t, who are tAo
truest vol ers for woman's cause, and win
the most friends for it.
| WHAT WOMAN CAN DO.
| There is a striking example of this efl-
well known woman of this city. Those who
attended the Sanitary Fair here, in 1865, will
remember Mrs. Myra Bradwell, wife Of Judge
Bradwell, superintendent of the department
of Arms, Trophies and Curiosities, in Bryan
| Hall. The great success of that department
| of the Fair, was chiefly due to their exer-
tons. Mrs. Bradwcll being absent from the
Hall but one day out of thirty, and never
When an appropriation from the Legislature
was needed for the Soldiers Home, in 1867,
Mrs. Bradwell, at the instance of some OF our
leading citizens, was sent to Springfield to
SECURE Ire it, and succeeded In getting s24, COO
for that institution: H Having e'G,
good legal mind, improved by thorough APP
premiership in her husbands Office, and see
ing all unoccupied field which she felt able
to cultivate, she quietly took possession, and
Chicago Legal Macs, which-as its name
imports-gives the decisions of the courts,
especially Of the q. S. Courts and Of the
States Supreme Courts, in all important
long time in advance of the ordinary publica-
ton. So that it has become almostin dispen-
sable to every good lawyer. And the Legis-
lature Of Illinois looked with SO much favor
upon the enterprise, and deemed her SO we'll
qualified to conduct it, that, by special acts.
they gave her full powers of Incorporation
favor, believe never before shown to a w0-
man in this country-declared the Legal
News newspaper within the meaning of the
statute, authorized the publication in it the
laws of the State, and directed the Secretary
OF State to furnish Mrs. Bradwell with certi-
fed copies of the laws as fast as they we're
enacted, and made the laws and legal decis-
ions, published in the Legal News prin,a
faclc evidence in all the courts of the State.
| The paper is admirably conducted, has the
confidence OF both the bench and the bar,
and, with such an official and professional en-
dorsement it has already attained 4 wide cir
culation and the best assurance Of q loug and
prosperous life.
I mention these facts, not to commend
Mrs. Bradwell or her paper-for they do not
need my encomium-but, to illustrate the
truth, that the best way for women to en-
large their opportunities for usefulness is to
improve those they already have. One strik-
ing example such as have here narrated, is
worth to the cause Of woman a whole year of
suffrage conventions, lectures and denuncia-
tons of "the tyrant, man."

! BISHOP wHITEHOUSE ENJOINED.
Judge jameson to-day, refused the motion
packed court proceeding with the trial OF
Rev. Charles E. Cheney. The Judge closed
his decision by declaring that not a similar
tribunal has existed or been guilty of such in
justice since the days of Scroggs and JET
freys.
The Bishops party have appealed the case
to the Supreme Court, before which it will
como IN September. There is to be an illus
trated car1cature of the trial issued, under
stand, soon. S. NJ. b.
