VICTORIOUS DISPATCH.

The common council last evening
elected the st. Paul Dispatch the Of
fetal paper of the city, adhering to the
old rule of giving reasonable compen-
sation for the service. The rafting Re-
publican fight made by the plucky even
ing sheet during the two campaigns of
last year was deserving of substantial
recognition by its party. The GLoRE
congratulates the Dispatch on its vic
tory. The work is being done at no
more than reasonable compensation.
No paper should be asked to take the
contract for less money, and no paper
would take it for less, except in con-
test where the work was to be won by
the lowest bidder. In such contests the
winner generally takes the contract at a
losing rate. and makes poor effort to
compensate itself with the reflection
tina, it won out in competition.

MANHATTAN.

There is great prospect that the leg
iSIature of New York will this winter
revive the question of consolidating
New York and Brooklyn into one city.
The efforts to bring about this cOnSoli-
dation are almost as historic as New
York itself. Among the noted men of
the past who have figured cOnspicu0uSly
III the undertaking were IRVING and
COOPER. These great literary lights
used every eXertion to arouse suf-
ficent sentiment to bring it about. But
they failed. AT times the people seemed
to favor it strongly; but petty bicker-
ings between the cities always arose
and put an end to the scheme. No
amount of argument could convince the
people that it was a very lmpor-
tant matter. The people of both
cities now seem to be aroused
to feeling that it is an extremely i'm
p0rtant matter. And it is safe to be-
leve that the nation at large will agree
with them. With New York, Brooklyn,
and their proper suburbs united under
one Incorporation, America would have
a city ranking second in the world, in
stead of one sixth or seventh in size.
The people of New York have at last
come to look upon the marvellous growth
of Chicago with alarm, and the success
Of the inter-ocean city in securing the
Columbian exposition was the straw
which broke the camePs back. The
loss of the worlds event may prove TO
be blessing for New York.
Already the leading citizens of New
York are casting about for name 20"
the prospective new metropolis. DAVE
DUDLEY FIELD wants it to DE canou
Manhattan. In communication to the
Brooklyn Eagle lie gives his reasons at
length why he desires different name.
The following are some of his reasons ::
The name of New York is a badge of colo
NAL dependence. The name of New York
never was fit one for this city, which no
more resembles the York of the old country
than a great seaport resembles small in
land town. The name of New York is ideu-
teal with that OF the state, and repetition or
confusion results from the use OF both We

NOT QUITE so WELL.
A Slight Change, but Not
Alarming, in Mr.. Blaine's
Condition.
His tny sicians Spend Nearly
an Hour With Their
Patient.
He Has Not Taken Any Solid
Nourishment for a
Month.
It Is Expected the Anti-Op-
ton Vote Will Be Taken


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Mr. Blaine is
not so we'll this evening, although there
is no alarming change. At 5:55 DR..
Hyatt drove to Mr.. Biaine's house, and
DR.. Johnston followed a few minutes
later, and, as he alighted from the
carriage, he directed his driver to go
to his Office for certain medicines.
The servant drove back rapidly
and the medicine was Immediately
taken to the sick room. Mr.. Blaine Jr.,
who was out of the house at the time,
was burriedly called in. Representative
Hit, who was in the house before the
physician came. left the house, but had
no information to impart as to Mr..
Blaine's condition. After being in the
house for the greater part of an hour,
the physicians appeared.
DR.. Johnston said their visit at this
time did not indicate any alarming
change. He said that he simply desired
to consult DIR. Hyatt, not having had an
opportunity during the day. There was
no significance, he said, to be attached
to the sending to his Office for
needed and he sent for it..
Mr.. Blaine was entirely conscious,
he said, and converSed with him and
the members of the family while he
and DR.. Hyatt were there. DR.. John
StOn said he would return late tonight,
not that! there was any necessity, but
he had called so early because he
wanted to know the condition of his
patient before he retired. He considered
Mr.. Blaine about the same as he
had been for the past two days, neither
better nor worse. He has not lost
any strength. 1t was learned that Mr..
Blaine had not taken any solid nouriSh-
ment for more than four weeks, and of
course could not gather any material
strength.
DR.. Johnston returned to the Blaine
residence at $40 and remained at his
patients side until 10 o'clock. When
the physician left he said that there was
nothing to add to what he had already
given out.
"fhere is absolutely no change in Mr..
Blaine'S condition." he said, land he is
just as strong as he was yesterday. |

WILL VOTE TUESDAY.
Opposition to the Anticipation
Bill VIII Cease That Day.

WASHINGTON, Jan. cot can be said
definitely that there will be no vote on
the anticipation bill before next week
and possibly not before Tuesday morn
ing. The senate's sudden adjournment
today forced pOStpOnement, and Mr..
Washburn, in charge of the bill, said
afterward that he would not ask for
vote tomorrow, but give another day to
debate. When Monday comes, how
ever, he will ask that the senate remain
in session until the vote is taken, al
though if the debate holds out SO that
there are senators DESTROYS of speaking
who have not been able to do so, it
is likely that final action may be
postponed until Tuesday. The op-
ponents of the bill will not in
dulge in any dilatory tactics. One of
the leaders of the opposition said that
they would not leave the field of legiti.
mate opposition. All the opposition
desired, said this senator, was that the
fullest possible light should be thrown
on the bill and the members should be
permitted to vote after having received
all the information bearing upon the
mooted question. When Tuesday comes
no further speeches will he made and
the opponents Will meet the issue, de-
feat the bill if they can, and abide by
the result. 1t is apparent, however, that
they do not hope very strongly for sue
cess. A conservative view of the situa-
ton would lead to the conclusion that
the George amendments will be voted
down.

Washington Evening Post.
John Ireland, Roman Catholic arch
bishop of st. Paul, told a Chicago Post
reporter this little story:
lin 1881" said the archbishop, II was
a passenger on the ship Umbria, which
carried William O'Brien to America.
You remember that visit; how O'Brien
was mObbed OH his way to Montreal,
and all that? Well, aboard the ship was
an Irish lawyer named Fox, an Orange
man, and pugnaciOuS creature gen
orally. OF course, he didn't like
OBTien, and by the time the ship was
two days out from Queenstown he had
organized a party OF passengers who
Missed O'Brien every time he came on
deck or into the saloon.
"rhiS wasn't pleasant for the rest OF
us, but we didn't say word until one
day O'Brien slipped as he was leaning
over the railing contemplating lin imag-
inatiom the beasts of the sea, ana nearly
fell overheard. Fox stood in the center
of group not far away, and he and the
rest of them commenced to boot and
make other disagreeable noises. That
aroused my Irish, and, walking firm
and fierce over to them, | said in my
most SOnOrous and commanding voice:
"'See here, you ruffians, this disgrace

won't stand it any longer. LiSten-if
you don't quit it and get down into your

''They didn't bother O'Brien aftel
that" added the archbishop; "but the
