Ter or J. Adam Bede from being
placed on the general election bal
lots. Mr. Taylor was one of the can

s,onal nomination in this district,
receiving $40 votes. He alleges that
both Miller and Bede far exceeded
the statutary limit of expenditure
in their campaigns, and as Taylor
received the third highest number
Of votes the action requested would
give him the nomination.
Taylor claims that the law pre-
scribing the amount candidate
may spend makes the limit in this
case $3.50, and he claims that Miller
spent $500 and possibly $4,000, and
Bede "spent sums exceeding $2,5OO.'
After a careful consideration OF
the complaint the attorney general
refused ia axe any action in The
matter, claiming that in his opin.
ion the law cited does not apply to
primary elections, and he consider.
I'd that no authority exists to de
prive Mr.. Miller of a place on the
tickt, on this ground. HIS endorsed
this opinion Oh Tayior's complaint
and Taylor claims that he wi II now
attempt to bring action in the dis
trict court of ST. Louis county &c
accomplish his object.
In his complaint Taylor alleges
that "Clarence b. Miller, in said
campais,n n for nomination at said
primary election paid out and ex
pended between the date of his fiji
ing for said nomination and the
date Of the primary election sums
exceeding in the aggregate $1,000
and as your petitioner is Informed
and believes sums exceeding in the
aggregate $4,000"
! He also states that Bede spent
81 900, and is informed and believes
that the amount exceeds $500.
The code says that no person
shall be permitted to hold any elec
tive office who has violated the pro
visions relative to tire limit of ex
penditures, but the opinion OF The
attorney general is based upon tht
theory that Mr.. Miller was not elect

ed for one.
The law provides that if the attor

tribute to the Cornish Ntioer.

At the recent meeting of the Lake
Superior Mining Institute w. .Ol-
colt gave an interesting talk, in the
course of hiH remarks paying de-
served tribute to the Cornish min
er. Mr.. Olcott Ead just returned
from trip abroad, during which
time he had spent several days in
CORNWALL. Leaving his family in
one OF the hotels he secured tour
ing car, a heavy, fast machine, and
went all over the district, aud from
personal observation claaat..i iil...
Cornish miner as the very fore,,,a
in his profession. In doing this he
took occasion to mention several.
t-faniliee. .rclntixes iIllom he had
visited during his trip, saying that
twenty-five years. association with
them had shown a stnrdy manhood
commendabl BILE in the highest degree.
Mr.. Olcott said that mining in
Cornwall was now heing conducted
in very quiet way. Abandoned
sides, stone structures, cold and
gray and looking like silent seu,i.
nels. At the Dalcoath mine they
were working at 5000 feet below sur
face, lifting one ton loads. aud tax
ing ten minutes to hoist a skip
from this depth.
Regarding the condition of labor
Mr.. Olcott said it was altogether
different from that of the United
States. In England there was not
the chance for the man at the bot
tom that America extended. H-was
hard to rise. A man might fill one
position for a life time, never rising
higher. even though he might pos:
sess the ability for better things:
Class distinction was in the way of
progression. Z.
| In conclusion he said he would
like to have the miners of this couu-
try who could to visit the old world.
They would find conditions in
France. Germany and Italy the
same as in Cornwall so far as labor
was concerned. A visit would show
them much and they would return
to America with broader views to.
ward mankind and higher appre.
ciation.of our country.

RICHARDSON PRAISES
 BIRMINGHAM REUNION

Huntsville, June 12.-(Special. )-Con- gressman William Richardson returned this morning from Birmingham, where he attended the Con t9derate reunion. He was delighted with the trip.
 "The manner in which Birmingham re- ceived and entertained the Confederate veterans" he said to a reporter ought tc be a source of pride and qualification to every Alabamian.
 Nothing whatever was left undone to provide for the comfort and care of our old comrades and look after the thousands of visitors that were in the city. Active and efficient committees earnestly looked after all details necessary on an occasion like that to make men comfortable. In- formation could easily be obtained as to localities and anything else necessary
 Tt really was matter of surprise that Birmingham was able to entertain as she did the immense crowd that was within her limits. l mingled freely with the crowds and never heard complaint from anybody that they lacked a place to sleep or eat. The commissary depart ment for the old soldiers was managed with absolute system and everybody was bountifully supplied. The commissary, ] believe, surpassed anything that l have
