WHEN the School text book bill was under
discussion last winter the GLOBE opposed it
on the ground that it was leading the State
into engaging in business matters which
should be left to private individuals. It was
urged long and eloquantly in reply that the
State simply set the ball in motion and that
all details and all expenses would be paid by
the local school districts being benefited by
the act. The result proves as the
GLOBE anticipated, and one of the
first things the legislature is called
upon to do this winter is to furnish $4,000
to carry on the job. It is argued that the
State is bound in honor to do this, owing to
action already taken. That is the usual
style of getting money out of the treasury.
First moderate bill, then little more, and
SO on until it is made an outrageous Job on
the people. If this $4,000 is granted next
year the call will be for something else, and
there never will be an end to the demands
80 long as the present system is allowed to
prevail. The proper plan would be for the
State to fix maximum rates for school books
and then open the field for the competition
of the world. The State might with equal
propriety 60 into sugar cane factory or any
other business, and the sooner bad job is
abandoned the better.

ST. PAUL TRADE.
Weekly Revte,U of the st. Paul Markets.
OFFICE OF THE GLOBE,

ST. PAUL. Jan. 20.
The volume of business transacted at the
leading mercantile establishments during the
week just closed, presents favorable showing
for this season of the year, although the actual
amount of trade enjoyed has been somewhat
smaller than the week preceding, the falling off
being attributed to the warm, open state Of the
weather.
The most notable feature in this connection
is the almost total absence of personal buyers,
the movement being mainly on postoftice and
order account. The general produce
markets have been exceedingly active, and
farmers products have met with ready de-
mand, while in the majority of instances values
have ruled fl m and higher.
The demand for the leading cereals has also
been active, mainly owing to the favorable
character Ut advices from the seaboard and in
termediate places, the only marked change,
however, applying to No. 2 wheat, v hich adj
vanced from 2@3c per bus. for the better
qualities. The receipts by rail and street have
alike been liberal, while the movement on
shipping account has been unusually active.
Business at the leading wholesale houses Gas
above intimately has been only moderately ac-
tive, few representative houses having COM
dry goods houses report fair trade, the move
ment being of far more encouraging nature
than for the week previous.
The demand for staple groceries continues
good, and trade is generally in healthy and
satisfactory condition, while dealers are more
than ever exercising the utmost circumspec-
ton as regards favors, and applications for
credit are subjected TO the closest scrutiny.
The demand for hardware boots and shoes,
clothing, ETC., has been light, and dealers are
generally engaged in preparing their stocks
for the spring trade. The market for hides,
pelts, ETC., has been sluggish, general reduc-
ton having taken place on all descriptions
Collections are quiet, but in the majority of
instances satisfactory.

IT is very evident that the Minnesota
House of Representatives have a tender feel
ing for t1amps. They refused yesterday to
enact the New Hampshire law for their re-
preston, and so emasculated the bill on the
subject that its author was glad to have it
substantially killed by reference to special
committee. Notwithstanding this action it
is very apparent that something will have to
be done in this matter, or our State will be
overlooked with the vermin, who are being
driven from the surrounding States by just
such legislation as was proposed by REPRE-
sentative Jones.
