ACrank ON Clotbc.

Sir Harry Poland. British magis-
trate noted for his brilliancy. was al
ways careless in his dress. Once his
family persuaded him to go to Poole
and order a fashionably cut suit. TO
the chagrin Of the household Sir Harry
looked more outlandish in the new
clothes than in his old ones. His BROTH
er-in-law went to see Poole about it.
ut is not my fault. sir" the tailor
assured him. Every care was taken.
but how could we fit Il gentleman who
would insist upon being measured sit
ting down."
And the only satisfaction that could
be obtained from Sir Harry Poland
himself later OIL was the dry comment:
well, it's my business and not yours.
like to be comfortable. spend three
parts of my life sitting down, and
preferred to be measured So"

HE ESTEEMED Daily News
of wilkes Barre is assured
that The Tribune vented no
spleen and flung no fling In
what it said a few days ago about
the pitable attitude which Luzerne
county bears toward the politics of
the state at large. Nor was there an
atom of jealousy in our remarks;
for, apart from the undesirabllity of
jealousy as a factor in life, the cir
cumstance should impress our con-
from n Lackawanna standpoint, for
political jealousy of Luzerne.
With regard to the need of an addi-
tonal Judge in the mother county we
arc not informed. If it exists. Luzerne
should have one, no matter how in
consequential may be the standing Of
her delegation at Harrisburg; and
Lackawanna would be glad to use it's
influence In helping I.uzcrne to get It,
But what surprises us, and what sur
prises many observers of contempor-
AIRY affairs. is that a great and popu-
louS COultS IKE iIuItTTc, the tnlTu
in ma snitude in the commonwealth,
should be content year after year to
see the important offices in the state
government go in many instances to
much smaller counties. like Indiana,
and Wayne, and Northampton like
Center, and Lycoming and Tioga: and
should be willing to be practically
without representation in the councils
of the dominant party or faction where
processes of government are deter
mined upon and honors and fayors ap-
portioned.
This, we may take it, is not a mani
festation of modesty so much as it is
an exhibition of inability to unite upon
II course of political policy calculated
to enforce substantial recognition of
Luzerne's Importance. The political
leaders of Luzerne seem to be deficient
in the knack of subordinating small
local differences to large general re-
suits. They do not pull together
Dyspeptic discretionary politics and
the spirit of captious raillery at those
uppermost in state affairs appear to
be in the ascendancy: and while this
condition of affairs does not especially
concern us, it does excite wonder that
the practical men of the mother coun-
ty, the men of strong common sens
in every day activities, should be will.

under the circumstances II took war

In the second place. these wise post
facto critics of the high cost of their
own prescription should also have the
manliness to point out that by the
foolish limitation of time on the army
bill passed two years ago. under
which all volunteers and many regu-
lars have to be discharged by July l
next. and the delay in passing the re-
organization bill at this session of con-
gress. owing 10 Democrats fllibuster-
ing, there has been an increased and
unnecessary cost imposed on tho gov
ernment of about s6o,0oo,ooo That Is
what has swollen the army bill to
such large proportions and u Is alto
gether due to the work of so-called
anti-imperialists and the Democratic
party. Were the government to cut
