which Dinner He shall Attend.

CNew York acknowledgements
William Jennings Bryan has put him-
self in the hands OF John Brisben walker
who will decide at which Of the one
dollar dinners Mr.. Bryan Will be a guest.
Mr.. Walker announced that fact yester-
day afternoon at a meeting OF the Com
mittee OF ARRANGEMENTS IN his Office. and
the announcement came I'm the nature oil
a surprise when members Of the com
mittee were in the midst Of wordy war
as to whether the dinner should be
workingmens or silver affair MT
Walker showed to the committee tele-
gram from Mr.. Bryan.
With two factions OF silver-dollar dln-
ers warning for the possession of Mr..
Bryan at jefferson dinners. TO be given
on April 18th. the golden key OF the stu
alton seems to be in the hands or Eugene
Y. Brewster. Of Brooklyn who has been

for q dinner.
BREWSTER HAS THE MONEY.
Mr.. Brewster. as treasurer Of the Com
mittee Of Arrangements, has in his pos
session between $3.50 and $1,000 sent TO him
for dinner tickets by believers in the
Chicago platform.
since the IlOipiS mtetluS "a SHHN"g
night, OF which the Herald told yesterday,
which resulted i'm a split between the
labor men on one side and the silver men
and single takers on the other, all pos
sibility of harmony has been destroyed
Each side is claiming the only right 10
hold the dinner for which tickets have
been sold, and each side. therefore, claims
the money held by Mr. Brewster.
Each side alleges. also, that it has the
contract for the Grand Central Palace,
and each side claims Mr.. Brewster.
silver men say that not only Is Mr.
Brewster with them, but that the hall
was rented in his name and paid for with
his check. The workngmen, who re-
fused 10 call the dinner a Chicago-plat-
form affair, and so brought on the discOrd,
declare that the palace was engaged by
and in the name Of A. j. Boulton, Tim
othy VI. DAILY, and T.. Y. Brewster. or
these three two are labor men, hence the
latters claim 10 the palace. Most Of
these questions will be decided by Mr.

pARpoNs AND pRIsONs.

The press of the State are well-nigh
unanimous in the conclusion that an adj
yisory board should be created 10y the
General Assembly TO assist the Governor
in investigating applications for pardon,
and TO aid him In coming 10 the right
decision with respect 10 them There is,
however. difference OF opinion as To
whether the board should be composed
of state officers, or should be made up of
persons who are without official counec-
ton with the State Government.
Inasmuch as the cost of board con-
stitrtcd of non-oniceholders need not ex-
coed 81 900 per annum, we think it would
be much better to have a board Of that
description.
In the first place. the Governor might,
and no doub, would. then select as MEM
bers men who possess special fitness for
the work to be done. Second, that would
be the better plan. because then the board
would not be embarrassed i'm any political
way. as a board OF oficeholders possibly
might bc. Third. because the members.
having 40 other official duties to perform,
would be able TO give 10 their work more
time and attention than probably could
be bestowed upon IT by gentlemen who
are already crowded and harassed with
public affairs.
All of the heads Of departments and all
other State officials that we know Of have
already plenty of work 20 do. and most
OF them are already members OF State
boards. Again. it will not be disputed
that man may make a very good head
of Il department. who would not be par
ticuiarly efficient as member of the
