The State of Colorado, which gave Mr Bryan far the largest majority that he anywhere obtained, has been obliged now for more than two mouths to keep a small army on duty at the silver mines of Leadville, to protect the non-union miners there. There are 1800 members of the Miners Union on strike at Leadville, who are supported in fair comfort neanwhile by contributions from other parts of the country, and are determined to hold out. The State is therefore obliged to keep a regiment on guard duty at an expense of ICOOdol per day. No prospect of compromise is in sight. It is a trial of endurance between the State Treasury and that of the Union. So far back as 1881 a farmer at Oisel, i America, ploughed a largo _ field by connecting - an electric wire with a waterfall.
