WE'LL DONE. ILLINOIS I

All hail to progressive Illinois. The
first grand step toward Woman Suf-
frage, and which will inevitably lead
there, has been taken. On the first day
Of July the women Of Illinois were made
eligible to hold appointive offices in
that State, under the act passed by the
Legislature last winter. Section one
enacts that no person shall be pre-
ciuded from any occupation, profession
OF employment except military on ac-
count OF sex. The only other exception
IS that women cannot be eligible to
elective offices.
1t viii not be long until women will
hold elective offices and vote as well in
Illinois.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Her0lds
letters from Stanley give the history of
his meeting with DR.. LivingtOne, and
the latter's account of his explorations
He saws Chamberri is the head waters
of the Niles sources. The doctor tells
of two countries through which the
great river runs. He also tells of ivory
being so cheap and plentiful as to be
used for door posts; of the sSillful man
ufacture of fine grass cloth, rivaling
India; Of a people nearly white, extreme
lv handsome, whom he suppOses to be
descendants of the ancient Egyptian; OF
copper mines at Katanga being worked
for ages by a dOcile and friendly people.
DIR. Livingstone and Stanley explored
the head of the Lake Tanguniiika and
returned to Ujiji, where they spent
Christmas. Stanley says he found Liv-
ingstone in very destitute condition,
having been robbed and deserted by
his men. He looks to be only fifty,
and is quite hearty. In March, 1872, he
began to organize an expedition to eX-
plOre q few doubtful points, which he
thinks will take eighteen months, when
lie will return to England.

ONLY SlS,00O,000 \ GEAR.-Mr. a.
B. Wilson has applied for a second eX-
tension Of his twice re-issued sewing
machine patent, and the Senate Com
mittee on patents have decided to hear
the arguments. "It is not, says the
Washington Chronicle, ''fOr the dis
tressfully INDECENT man who has only
made $50, 900 out of this sewing machine
patent, for which a second extension is
asked; il is for q combination of the
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine
Company, and two or three other rich
companies whose united profits in the
single year of 1871 from sales to the
wives and daughters OF our land was
more than SIS, S,000,000. They now have
the impudence to ask Congress to per-
NIT them for six years more to eXtOTt
SlS,OO0,00 year, or q sum total Of
Sl0S, 900, 600, from the working women
Of this country. They have already held
this patent for eighteen years-siX years
longer than they ought to have had it
and probably amassed not less than
Sl00,0 600 in profits VIII Congress
further inflame their Unsuitable greed by
giving them 0S,0O0,0 600 more? This is
the matter in bulk. In detail, what do
they ask? The machine which they
sell from S65 to S10O each can be man
ufactured and sold for S25 and q profit
of one hundred per cent. made at that
price. These vampires simply ask that
they may be for six years longer per
/ mitted to assess this extra $40 or $50,
chiefly upon the women Of this country,
and thus keep up their gains to the out
rageOus figure Of four or five hundred
per cent.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN IDAHO.
BY Mrs. cARRIE Z. rorxe.

hh hiSS. CARRIE r. NOUNG.
At the last session of the Territorial
Council of Idaho bill extending to
women the exercise of the elective fran
chise came within three rotes of being
victorious. The Hon. /. \. Costan. a
member Of that body, told me that the
bill was popular with men, and opposed
only by those who were incapable OF
close thought or far-reaching reason.
"AIy GOdr said another member of
that body. "Look around at the extrav-
agance and frivolity and worthlessness
of our young men and women! / have
made up my mind that to save men
from being drunkards and gamblers We
must give women something besides
style and dress to think about. We
have watched this agitation, and find
that women who read and reason and
desire a knowledge of politics are COM
panionable. They do not bankrupt
their husbands or sell themselves for
dress"
Thus, readers Of the New NORTH
WEST, thought grows and intensifies,
and will by-and-by erystalize into ae-
/ ton.
These gentlemen were not forgetful OF
the fact that the bitterest opposition
came from r0DlcH. We reminded them
that the schOol-house would never be
built or college endowed if the people
waited for the uncultivated, undeyel-
oped children, of their own will, to ask
for the same. The fact that children
have to be compelled to go to school i,
no argument against schools. A COM
mon school system, supplemented by
academies and colleges, was necessity
of the existence Of a government by the
people, ami therefore provision wa:
made for schools and colleges.
We believe the education Of the bal
lot privilege il just as much necessity
in the development OF women. There
fore, sooner or later, it will be given US
The objection usually made by som,
musty old or fast young bachelors, tha
the primary business Of women is ma
ternity and therefore she must be dis
franchised, is best answered by tcllin:
them that their sex indicates as thei
primary business paternity, and there
fore during all the years they are capa
BILE OF exercising that function the,
should be disfranchised! Would no
men feel insulted by such a statement
"Nea, verify" 80 do women feel in
suited by such statements.
The facts are: Paternity-unfoldin
, and waking UP the best impulses OF th
) human heart-makes of men better cit
liens and wiser lawmakers; and ma
ternity warns, enthuses, purifies
wOman's heart and makes her bette
and happier, and renders her a thou;
and times more fitted to appreciate
> home and homestead laws. Her prid
in and deep love for her daughters give
her an interest in the laws made fC
; their protection that bachelor represei

VALUE OF EGGS. - During the war,
many experiments were made by medical
men and many others interested in the
subject, to see in how small compass the
most nutriment could be got; and after all
the experiments Of physicians, physiolo-
gists, patent rights men, sarans and in.
vestigators on scientific subjects, they all
had to knock under (to use phrase more
expressive than vulgar), and to an old hen
or young one cither-for it was found
that an egg contained the greatest amount
of nutriment or life preserving food in the
compass it occupies, of any other known
substance. True there are essences of
meats. etc., that by combination with other
articles may be as powerful, but alone the
egg is the most nutritious. There is more
ife-sustaining element in single soft.
boiled egg than in twenty times its bulk in
bread or food of that kind.

Upon this the excitement re-doublcd, peo-
pie rushing from all parts of the city to
the scene. The crowd says the firing was
unnecessary, while the military say they
we're obliged to shoot in self defense, as
they were peltcd with stones. The police
say the statement of the military is untrue.
The feeling against the military is intense,
and it is feared there will be more blood
shed before morning. The colored people
are fleeing from their houses, as it is not
deemed safe for them to be seen in the

AMERICAN SHIpPING.-A fair idea can
be obtained of the decay of American
shipping in the following figures: In
1860, the exports and imports of the Uni
ted States, in American vessels, amounted
to s507 pa ,757, and in foreign bottoms,
S255,O40,793. In 1865, the figures were,
in American vessels, Sl67 ,4O2,S in
foreign vessels, S437 ,OlO,l24. In 1869,
when all obstacles occasioned by the war
were removed, the amount in American
vessels was $3.50, 95O,272; in foreign,
$3.50, 1872 OH. BY these figures it will be
seen that the decrease in amount of i'm
ports and exports in American vessels was
$3.50, S44 ,6S5 from 1850 to 1865, aud the
increase in the amount in foreign bottoms,
SlSl ,969,33l. From 1865 to 1869 the
amount increased in American vessels,
sl22 ,547 400, and in foreign, Sl49,4Sl,-
SSS. By contrasting the figures of 1860
with those of 1869 it will be seen that the
rule of Radicalism during that period had
the effect to decrease the amount of ship.
ping in American vessels S2l7 ,297 ,4S5,
and increase it in foreign 1881 ,45l, $40.
Surely it is progressive party!
