 BILL ME AND RILEY.
 The entertainment to be given by Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Riley at the Hyperion, next Monday evening will draw out one of the most cultured audiences of the season. Bill Nye, as humorist, and Riley, the poet, have @ worldwide reputation. General Har- rison and Mrs. Harrison attended their en- tertainment in Indianapolis and went into raptures over them. MT. Riley is not an ar- fist, but Q genuine humorist, who bubbles over with fun. Bill Nye also is a genius, whose bald head affords even himself fund of humor, which he can apparently draw on ad libitum, without fear of exhaustion. Withal, they are both genial and pleasant gentlemen.

ANOTHER KICK AT CRITICISM

Mrs. Amelie Rives Chanler, who
through her next best literary friend, Miss
Julia Magruder, made some explanation
Of her literary life, her style and her
peculiarities Of lingual construction and
her purpose, in The NeD York Herald Of
last Sunday, also at the same time made
some complaint Of the severity Of the
criticism her work has invited, all tho
time seemingly oblivious Of the fact that
"Quick or the Dead" and "Herod and
Marianne" were without any meaning,
except rs excitnnts to passion and pruri-
ency. The Same sort Of work nom the
pen Of a man would have earned him
instant and morited damnRtion, and

Ex-posTMAsrER PEARSON DEAD.

EX-POSIMASTER PEARSON DEAD.
The death OF Mr.. Pearson, late post
master Of New York City, elsewhere
announced by telegraph, will be much
regretted, by those especially who are able
to appreciate his admittedly valuable
services as a public official. BY the
merchants and business men OF the great
metropolis, TO whom prompt delivery and
unrestricted facilities in postal COM
munication are necessity OF their ever
increasing intercourse with the world, Mr..
Pearson was held in the highest esteem,
as realizing for them all that was necessary
and desirable in postoflice management.
He made the New York Office model and
by his administration in the face OF an i'm
mense annual increase in business, induced
his retention at the request OF the people OF
New York, by President Cleveland. At
that time, and more recently when he was
removed by order OF President Harrison
for purely partisan reasons, he was made
fully aware Of the place he had reached to
in the popular heart and how much his
sterling qualities Of integrity were appreci-
ated by those he served with single hearted
devotion. And II was this devotion,
doubtless, that killed him. Cancer Of the
stomach, the result Of too intensely nerv-
Gus activity and anxiety, shortened hi
days and robbed the country of an upright
citizen and faithful public servant. q fin,

PRISON CRUELTY IN PENNSYL-
VANIA

II is many day since Howard first re-
vealed the awful horrors OF prison life in
Europe, and moved as q humanitarian for
its mitigation. How muchh he did to effect
prison reform the world long since recog-
nized by linking his name TO immortality.
Yet much remains to be done. Complaints
frequently reach the public from behind
the prison bars and Official statements OF
shocking brutality are not uncommon.
The Legislatures Of this State and Of Ala
bama, Arkansas and Mississippi have told
their stories in condemnation OF the bar
barous and brutalizing convict-lease sys-
tenn, and now comes the Senate OF Penn
sylvania with photographs OF tho horri-
flying cruelties TO which prisoners in
the Riverside Penitentiary near Pittsburg
have been subjected. Senator Goblin, Of
Philadelphia, has preferred charges against
the warden OF that prison upon the sworn
statements OF an ex-keeper, which disclose
frightful story Of inhumanity. The
charges show that one OF the convicts was
scalded with boiling water and so beaten
with club that he had to be sent to an
insane asylum. Another convict was hung
up by the handouts on his wrists for
thirty-six hours and was given no food in
all thatti A third charge is the "placing
OF prisoners in the dungeon and turning
steam on from the bathroom, whereby
they were compelled TO suffer great pain
from heat and sufIocation." This is the
very acmo OF barbarous and inhuman
cruelty that ranks its perpetrator with the
inQuisitors who exhausted ingenuity in the
invention Of ways and means oiprolonginl
the agony OF prisoners and testing witt
flendish CLEO the strength OF human en-
| durance.

ANOTHER GRAB AT THE SURPLJ


The Republicans are determined to ''get
away" with the surplus, It will not long
be source Of anxiety TO them as ii was to
the Democrats and Mr.. Cleveland. They
are arranging for appropriations that when
they arc made will leave but little chance
for a reform Of the tariff, which II Is their
object TO maintain in its most objection
able features The lates proof OF this
comes from The Philadelphia Inquirer,
which, as We learn from The Baltimore Sun,
has given great deal OF space to the elab-
Grafton Of projected scheme, which Is TO
be laid before Congress by the business
men Of that city, by which the most inn
important section OF the Atlantic Coasts TO
be protected from an invasion by any hos
tile man.of-war, and by which Philadel-
phia may become the greatest naval con-
Ter Of tho United States. The enterprising
citizens referred TO, according to The In
q'ircr, have arranged a scheme which they
consider feasible, and VIM. Il. Eltonhead,
civil engineer, has already drawn plans
for the construction OF ship channels TO
run practically in direct line from Wash
ington TO Boston, and 10 connect with all
tho principal towns and citios, for the pur-
poso Of coast defense. According TO the
plans, II is proposed TO cut n wide and
deep channel from point near the head
Of Chesapeake Bay to point near the
head Of Delaware Bay, New Castle being
the objective point. This canal would be,
perhaps, fifteen miles long. Another
canal, about twenty-five miles long, would
then be constructed from tho Chesapeake,
near Annapolis, through 10 the Potomoc,
entering that river alta point about op.
posito Alexandria. This would give the
capital ample protection, as man.oi-war
could be dispatched there from League
Island as center In an incredibly short
time. Then tho scheme includes a ship
canal from point on the Delaware River
below Bordentown straight across New
Jersey to Rariian Bay, from which point
there is a natural deop.wator communica-
ton with New York, Jersey City and
Brooklyn, aud all the cities and towns
along Long Island Sound. Tho long scG
trip from New Bedford, Mass, or Newpor
TO Boston around the strip Of land OF
which Cape Cod is located, would be OBJ
Waited by cutting canal few miles long
from Buzzard's Bay TO Cape Cod Bay, and
thus there would be continuous deep sea
navigation between Washington and Bos.
ton, and DO practically straight line,
