Near Perpetual Motion.

Lieut.. HfllhOuse of the British navy
writes thus of an old water wheel on
the island Of Cephalonia, of the west
coast OF Greece; The peculiar part
OF 1t is that this wheel is worked BY
the sea, which is led through a small
conduit. the water tumbling down into
a fair-sized hole. whence it disap-
pears into the earth. 1t thus seems

There Is no foundation whatever for

where directed. 1t fell, instead. upon
thousands of union w0rkmen In the
hills, who, although engaged for the
eight hour day, were ordered to cease
work in those mines that supplied the
offending smelters with ores. The
result in many camps Was . walk
out.
The succeeding result was an 1T
tempt on the part Of the owners to
reopen their mines with nonunion
labor. In the part that labor and poll
tics play in Colorado, the admins
tration Of civil duties falls, in many
mining cities and towns, upon au-
thorities who are out Of sympathy
with nonunion methods. Thus the
owners of mines were harassed IN
many ways. There were mysterious
disappearances. People unsympa-
thetic with the cause Of the strikers
were driven from communities. Final
", mine buildings were blown up
with dynamite, and mine workings
destroyed.
In this crisis the mine owners ap-
pealed to the governor Of Colorado
for protection. The situation was
strained 1t three points-in Teller
county, where are the mining camps
of Victor and Cripple Creek; at Tellu-
ride In San Miguel county, and 1t
Idaho Springs in Clear Greek county.
In the last place union workmen sus-
pected Of blowing up the Sun and
Moon mine pfoperty were driven
from town by the citizens Of the
place. This drastic action 10 worth
noting, for, rs . result Of the high
state of feeling in Colorado. It was
upheld in the popular opinion. At
all events, troops were not needed
at Idaho Springs.
Gov. Peabody declared martial law
in Teller and San Miguel counties
early in December. Some Of the mil
itary proceedings in each Of these
counties appear to have been extreme
but Gov. Peabody has declared that
no defense of his actions is needed.
Union leaderE were arrested, and in
some cases these leaders were dep0ft-
ed. State courts yer aOppealed to
BY members of the union who felt
the power Of the military law, but
the rulings of these courts had no
effect on the representatives Of the
state government. Injunctions were
merely ignored. The governor con-
tended for these points:
I. That he had sole power to deter

As July is a very III month, It was
