The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-07-04

Ever since the passage of the
amended text book law last winter,
says the st Paul Dispatch, the tools Of
the book ring have been industriously
seeking to break it's force by circula-
ting through the State the false i'm
preston that the district clerks are
not obliged, by its requirements, to
order books for their districts. until
after the expiration of two years from
the passage of the law. The fragrant
Turkey circulated thic III his postal
card proclamation bolstered up by
the false assertion that the attorney
general had so decided. And not to
be outdone in villainy, the county
superintendent of schools for Good
hue county, repeated the statement
in his circular to district clerks,
bolstered up by the mistaken assertion
that the county attorney had given
such an opinion.
All these false constructions of the
law. and all the fraudulent bases on
which they were supposed TO rest, are
completely demolished by the follow
ing official opinion Of the attorney
General, which we present in full to
the readers of the Dispatch to-day:

CH1cAeo, Nov. %, lS7s.-Wheat has ruled de-
cidedly stronger since our last, despite large
receipts, accommodating stocks and apathy in
the foreign markets. At time when con-
sonant with all reason, the market should be
giving way, we have risen from 81 to $50 for
December with 90c freely predicted and
changed feeling regarding the future of the
property. We share in this changed feeling;
not that we regard the statistical situation less
adverse, but because we feel convinced that
clique with vast moneyed resources and accus-
customed to great undertakings, have gone
into the property believing it at safe invest
ment values. We are fully convinced that if
the market, however great the present visible
supply, should be tided over the universities of
December, that what now appears the propping
of an avalanche, will fully reward the faith
and the pluck of the undertaking.. True it is
gigantic attempt to wrest the market from
its sinking tendency, and while we have all
along advocated that receipts would surprise
and dismay holders, we are not among those
who believe present receipts a fair index to the
crop. The shortage of the spring crop of 1878
will be felt after the New Year. BY cores
pondence and travel in producing sections, we
became satisfied that farmers would be COM.

crop before ,Christmos, and receiving from

Marie Ro=e Concert Troupe.


The strongest musical company now trav-
cling in America is incontestably the Marie
Roze concert troupe. 1t embraces such
widely known artists as Madame Roze, Brig
noli and w. r. Carleton, each unriyaled in
America in their respective roles.
This troupe will appear at the Academy of
Music, in this city, on toe evening of Friday,
the 9th of December; under the manage
ment of Mr.. Robert Filkins. The company
appears in only four cities in the Northwest,
viz: Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin;
and this city and St. Paul, in
Minnesota. Marie Roze is to- day
the rival of Kellogg, and in the estimation of
many the superior of that great artist. For
instance, the New Pork Post of recent date
says:
Marie Roze's Mignon is SO incontestably SUI
perior to Miss Kellogg's, that it is not wise for
her to attempt Mignon while The public are
still under he impression of Marie Rozes more
powerful creation. We cannot say Miss KEEL
logs selections were to our taste. The success
OF the evening was the fourth act of ''Hugue-
nots," with Marie Roze as Valentine. Her
success may be inferred from the fact that
fully ten minutes were taken up with an up
roar of applause such as has not been heard
before. Nine. Roze was called before the cur
tain seven times.
The Maria Roze troupe is on a short west
ern tour, appearing only in the leading cities
of the North, and music lovers of Minneapo-
liz should congratulate themselves on having
the opportunity presented to hear the great
artists who compose it,
