The New York Journal OF Commerce says that
I'M a grand prize show OF the Is rannles OIL ali na
lions America could MAKE entry that would take
the first medal. She has within her nihitS an OIL
earchy which for iron cruelty beats the worstsy
tenn that any living Emperor, Czar, sultan OF cnel
dare impose on his subjects. The American 'yrah'
nv 70 which we refer is the Grand Council OF the
Caal Miners, Union OF Pennsylvania. With
strange mockery OF the awful truth, the Union Is
caI,ed the .IWorkingmen.s Benevolent Associa-
tiou.n 1t was formed by some hundred thousand
wen meaning, Industrious miners, who, In their
Ignorance OF their best interests anu Of the laws
of trade, delegated supreme power TO council
a, thIrty-one, to whom all questions con-
nected with labor and strikes are submitted,
and .ts decisions are without appeal, and
must be obeyed.wthout murmur. For this sur
render they were promised by this "union" 10 be
cared for IN strikes, but after few weeks OF In
activity the pipched doings of aid cease, anu they
must beg or ny, but may not work. The result ID
that during the strike which has recently been
ason. and rigldly enforced by the Grand Council,
a;larce number OF mioers have prudently got
away, and come to New York, and, when able to
nay their steerage passages have gone to Europe.
The great coal companies, relying upon the sure
allies Of poverty and hunger, viii always have 1t
In their power 20 beat any combination which the
miners make among themselves; and 1t is to be
hoped they are cured OF the fooishness Of strikes
and submission to the intolerabie tyranny OF an
oliyarchy.

In America, there arc few buildings notable for
any other feature than undue and ambitious pro-
portions. The houses and stores, II Is asserted,
are built or white marble, which dlscolors, OF
brown stone, which chips aud fades, or OF iron,
whose coat OF paint needs constant renewal,
and present q repulslye appearance by their
dingy front and non1escipt architecture.
From the Battery to Union square, in all
the business portion OF this crowded thor
ougaiare, 1t Is stated there is only one
building possessing genuine architectural
beauty. II Is further alleged that with the
exception of brick and granite, the building
materials In general use In New York are con-
demnesl by all experienced and edu:ated arcli,
