r PROSPECTS,.


l'r Prospects.
CHICAGO, May 4.-The jobbing trade OF
this city has shown steady revival tor
. eome weeks, and dealers seem confident
that the trouble is substantially over.
Ihe unfavorable weather and discourage
ing reports from the crops for the past
\ week have interfered slightly with coun-
try orders, but there is every reason to
believe that the spring trade Of Chicago,
delayed though 1t is, will prove much
larger than ever before. So.
Their trade opened brisk, and, though
hindered by the present bad weather, do
not experience such depression as might
reasonably be expected.
Real estate is stronger than at any
time in the past two years, and several
important transactions of ate prove that
values remain firm, and that property at
such valuation is In demand.
The vessel interest is the only one that
seems PROSTATE, and 1t would be difficult
10 lind more discouraged set Of men
shan ship-0wners are at present.
/. Very few vessels have been fitted out,
and the demand for room is so light and
railroad competition SO strong that there
10 little prospect OF speedy change for
the better.
A number of vessels have landed and
cleared and few have gone to seek
cargoes in the lumber regions, but a
large lumber feet has already arrived to
find the market stagnant and shippers
will probably hold off.
A few days of seasonable weather just
at this time would certainly reanimate
: the West In every particular, but they
must come soon to put any life into the
, shipping interests.

Henry Wilson and Female Suffrage.

Fl. b. Blackwell writes the following in
a late number of the H-omeas Journal:
In the death of Henry Wilson the woman
suffrage movement has lost an able and
efficient political friend. More than twenty
years ago Mr.. Wilson gave in his adhesion
TO the princiDle, and has never faltered
since. In 1867, when negro suffrage in the
District OF Columbia was under discussion
in the United States Senate. Mr., Cowan, of
Pennsylvania. offered an amendment ex-
tending suffrage to the women of the Dis
trict He intended to throw r.dcule by
showing that every argument which bad
been used for colored men applied equally
to women. But Senator Wilson accepted
the analogy. and avowed his belief in woman
suffrage. He refused, indeed, 70 support
Mr. Cowan's amendment. because its addi-
ton woud have defeated the bill; but he
pledged himself, then and there, 10 intro
duce bill establishing woman suffrage i'll
the District and in all the Territories of the
United States. and to vote for it whenever
il should come up as separate measure in
the Senate. He carried out his pledge, next
year. by introducing a woman suffrage bill,
and did SO again few years later. He has
repeatedly attended woman suffrage con-
yentiors and avowed himself in favor. In
the fall of 1872 the present writer consulted
Mr.. Wilson, then named as probable can
didate for the Vice Presidency, as to the
propr!etv Of trying to introduce woman
suffrage plank into the national Republican
platform. Mr.. Wilson replied as follows
My DEAR SIR-I fully agree with you
that the Republican party ought to indorse
woman suffrage, quite as much for its own
sake as for that OF the suffrage itself, and
hope you will succeed in getting woman
suffrage into the platform.
Yours, tor equal rights,
HENRY WILSON.
Armed with this letter, went to Phla-
delpbla, taking with me a printed slip con-
tanning the woman suffrage resolution
adopted the year previous by the Massa-
chusetts Republican Stare Convention.
Every state delegation, nearly forty in all,
had its .enarate headquarters. Before the
convention met l went TO every one of
these, showed them Senator Wilson's let
ter, and urged them to appoint friend Of
woman suffrage as their representative
upon the committee of resolutions. l said,
lyon are talking of nominating Mr.. Wilson
for Vice President. Here is what he says
about a woman suffrage plank" The
Massachusetts member OF the committee on
resolutions, Hon. j. b. d. Coygswell, gave
the resolution his efficient support in com.
mittee. and, with slight modification, it
was adopted.
To Henry Wilson, therefore, more than to
any other man, is due the historic fact that
the Republican party of 1872 recognized
woman rights in its platform. In 1871 he
authorized us to place his name upon the list
OF vice presidents of the American Woman
Suffrage Association, and has continued to
hold that position until his death. A hun
dred years hence, when his biographer
states that he was vice president of that So
ciety, and also of the United States. the
former will be reckoned as the nobler title

"And it grows brighter and l hear such

he did not hear.
The sunlight had truly come, but it was
