~ THE MATTER or LUBRICANTS.

Al recent meeting of the Board Of Educa
ton Commissioner O'Brlen, referring 10 the
hitherto somewh hat less than brilliant effort to
got rid Of its secretary remarked that when
a piece of machinery did not work well II was
lubrlcated and then, II II continued to work
badly. II was discarded. Mr.. O'Brien thought
that the secretary was IN that case, and hoped
lnasmuch as the lubrlcating process had been
unsuccessful 4 change might be made Now
Mr. Miles O'Rrien Is a master of tho noble Eng
fish tongue and familiar with It's classics. He
knows whether or not he wants to use n word
the moment he thinks Of II. and he Is aware
that "the bearings OF an observation lays In
the application oil It." For these reasons We
shrink from intlmatlng that his selection Of the
word "lubrlcate" to describe the process which
he has vainly employed with the secretary to
make the machinery Of the Board of Education
work well Is lnfelicltous, but we wish he had
explained his choice.
1t Is n matter Of some public concern, as It
appears 10 us. that Mr.. O'Bren should tell just
what sort Of lubricants he has unsuccessfuly
applied to the secretary, under what circum-
stances the application was made, and what
reason he has to suppose that course Of treat
ment to which the present incumbent Is not
successor should be installed. "Lubricaton" is
a common word and good one, but 1t usually
has n rather less pleasing Specification when 1t
Is connected with human activities than when
Il ia used in reference to merely mechanical
operations Mr. O'Brien owes an calculation
Of his meaning to the secretary he wants to
get rid Of TO the asplrant he wants to appoint,
to his fellow Commissioners. to the community
and to himself
There is lust one consideration which might
be held 10 Justify Mr.. O'Brien in deferrng.
though not in refusing an explanatory state
ment Within day or two the State Civil
Service Board has made ruling with reference
TO the secretary Of the Board Of Education
which puts him IN such n classification as Is
understood TO render his removal impossible
except after hearing on specific charges
We do not know how this action affects tho
legal proceedings by which the secretary has
thus far contrlved to balk his adversarles In
the most exaspcrating manner, or indeed
whether II affects them Mt all. But 1t Is con-
celvable that Mr.. O'Brien Is expecting to find
means Of bringing charges against Mr. Palmer
and If so ne may consider himself warranted
In keepng his own counsels for the present
For undoubtedly his main charge would be
that Mr. Palmer was not susceptible TO lubrl-
cation and It might be Injurious to his case
to explain In advance what he meant by that
mysteriously suggestive accusation IF Mr.
OBrien will promise to hale the secretary be-
fore suitable tribunal Mt the first convenient
opportunity, and swear that he has faithfully
applied to him the best lubricants the market

A DISHONEST PLATFORM.

If It was the purpose Of the Bryan managers
In forcing the recent midsummer meeting Of
the Democratic National Committee to i'm
press upon the Eastern elements in the organ-
cation the obligations Of party loyalty and
party discipline, that purpose finds dlscourag
ing echo In the first Eastern State Convention
held since the Stone-Bryan conference at Chi
cago dissolved. The State Of Maryland was
represented at the Chicago gathering by Colonel
L. Victor Baughman, who took with him the
proxy Of the regular committeeman, ex Senator
Arthur 7. German. Last Wednesday at Balt-
more Colonel BGughman was chosen to preside
over the Democratic State Convention, which
nominated a candidate for Governor and pre-
pared the platform on which an unusually i'm
portant campaign is TO be fought out In Mary
land this fall. If any one was competent TO
communicate TO the Democrats Of Maryland
the desires and purposes Of the leaders now
dominant in the National organization, II was
the lieutenant whom Mr.. German had depu-
tized to brave the expected chills and snubs of
the Chicago meeting. II any one was qualified
to measure the possible penalties Of further
Indifference to the party's paramount doc
trine." it was Mr.. Germans personal represen-
tatlve, who had listened uneasly for two days
Altgeld school Of free silver coinage extremists
But beyond Colonel Baughman's appearance in
the presidents chair, not single link seemed
to bind the convention at Baltimore with the
Chicago gathering, which only two weeks
earlier had met to formulate the party's policy
for this year and for 1900
With the partys present creed, both as IN
terpreted by the vast majority of Its voters
and as expounded by the leaders who control
its fortunes, the platform adopted by the
Maryland Democrats is In touch at scarcely q
single point. OF the three vital party issues
named In Mr.. Bryan's Auditorium speech of
July 20, not one figures as an essential factor In
the declaration Of policy issued last Wednes.
day at Baltimore. Mr.. Germans unwilling
ness to commit tie party in Maryland to the
cause Of free silver results once more in the
omission from the platform Of any reference
TO this paramount Democratic doctrine. Even
the feeble straddle Of the platform Of 1S97-or
which Mr. German vainly sought reelection
to the United States Senate-has been dropped
this year without regret and without comment
The nominee for Governor, John Walter Smith
Is Gold Standard Democrat. whose opinions
and attitude are so obnoxious to the Chicago
platform voters 10 the party that In 1893 they
put up a Silver Democratic candidate agains,
him for Congress in the Eastern Shore District
Ex-Representatve Isidor Rayner, the nominee
for Attorney General, is another conspicuous
rarty leader who has never accepted the free
coinage plank, which Mr.. Bryan declares TO be
still the first and foremost article Of Demo
cratic doctrine.

RANK AMONG MOTORMEN.

The new pay schedule issued by President Ros-
sitter Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
provides for three grades of motormen-those
who run trolley cars, those who run Bridge
trains and those who run elevated trains. The
relative positions assigned TO these men give
occasion for serious thought and questioning by
those who regard them simply with view to
their public service and their responsibility for
the lives OF citizens. Under Mr.. Rossiters sys-
tenn the motorman Of the trolley car receives the
lowest wages-$2 dayton the theory that he
has only one car to look after, while the Bridge
itrain motorman receives 81 %, because he must
look out for train Of several cars, and the ele-
