cause to enter the academy at the

the position. The Enquirer in its

Progress in France.

With what has been now actually gained
in the choice of Senatorial electors it ap-
pears to be certain that the renewals to be
made in January next will give the republi-
cans majority in the French Senate. This
b an important success, ms indicating the
iaith with which the French people con-
template the republican machinery Of gov
ernment after good trial of its opera
ton. And the France that has thus
declared its faith in republican ideas
is not that France Of universal suffrage
whose verdict has been decried by all the
reactionary elements rs that of ignorance,
prejudice and fanatical popular passion,
but it is France consulted in way con-
trived by the enemies OF the Republic as
one most likely to bring out that sentiment
which it has been believed was opposed to
democratic ideas. At last, therefore, even
that France is convinced that it is time to
try sincerely and honestly the only politi-
cal system that is no longer o conspiracy.
Both representative bodies will now, there
fore, be republican, and these on joint
ballot will elect the next President, who
will certainly be republican of whose
faith and principles there can be no doubt.

An Egyptian Loan.

Another Egyptian loan is the immediate
result of tho arrangement by which the ad-
ministration of that country has been put
into English and French hands. Some
credit Is due to the organizers of this plan
for having given the country even the
moderate capacity for borrowing, repre-
sented by the fact that 1t is willing to ac-
cept seventy-fve cents and pay interest on
IL as If IL were dollar. BY this loan the
burden of Egyptian indebtedness will not
be increased, as its proceeds are to be ap-
piled to the extinguishment of obligations
Of troublesome nature. 1t is based on the
income from the Khcdive's surrendered es-
tates, and that these will yield net income
equal to the interest on forty.two and half

The Best savings Banks.

Savings banks that fail, savings banks
that are plundered by burglars and saw
ings banks that are robbed even more COM
pletely by their officers-savings banks, in
short, which are mere traps for the small
store of the poor people-these classes
seem to be more numerous than any other
sort of savings banks Of which the people
can hear, and therefore it becomes q very
important problem what thrifty men and
women shall do with the few dollars they
are able to lay aside from their earnings.
One Of our dispatches points out that
some Of the citizens Of Washington have
found satisfactory solution of this diff
Guilty. They have withdrawn their de-
posits and purchased, as far as their means
90, the government four per cent loan.
For some years now we have urged that our
government should follow the example set
in England, in associating with the postal
service system for accepting the deposit
of savings. All the arguments in favor Of
that are in favor of the people using the
government bonds for the same purpose.
by this means money is less Immediately
accessible in case of need than 1t would be
by the postal savings bank system, but 1t
is at least removed from oil the perils that
surround 1t in the average institution for

Can Trfckett whip Han1sn at the
Scu11s

Edward Trickett, of Australia, tn.
worlds champion at the SOULS, was not
hurt SO badly after all, as, Notwithstanding
he has no first joint to his right fore finger
he is reported as having recently made re-
markably fast time and as being cage, to
row Higgins, Courtney or Hanlan. James
Higgins, of Shadwell, the champion of eng
land, who will be remembered as the sroke
of. the London professional four at tn. Gen.
tennial races, is man of almost exactly
Hanlans height and weight though better
off than he in having had several men con-
who could give him all he wanted to do.
Hanlan means, it is said, to sail ia Decem-
Der for England, and it will doubtless be
settled before next midsummer whether
there is any man in Europe who can out
scull him. He cannot we'll get at Courtney
again, then, before July. Unless Trickett
comes to Europe or America, as Hanlan's
time is likely to be thus taken up, Trick
EFT will probably remain champion of the
world for nearly year yet unless Court
ney goes out and beats him on his own
Parametta River. This he will hardly do
until he has another fve-mile interview
meanwhile with Hanlan, and this time on
decent water. If the latter did actually
row six miles with turn in thirty-eight
minutes when practising on the Kennebe-
oasis for his race with Wallace Ross, and he
had as much current against him one way
as he had with him the other, and if he can

Ancient Critic. on Modern Politicians.

Ancient Critics on Modern Politicians.
The aptest fables ever written are the old
Greek ones which go under the name of
Esop, there being question both MS to
their date and their real authorship,
although there has never been any ques-
ton as to the superior keenness and
fneness of observation which they display
respecting the weak and ridiculous pecu-
liarities of human nature. 1t may,
indeed, be said of Esop, as has
been so often said of celebrated
modern -Rochefoucauld, the au-
thor of the celebrated "Maxims"-
that his wonderfully acute observation
Is exhausted on the weak aud base sides of
human nature. This is quite true; but it
is also true that the base and ridiculous
hypocrisies which are 80 instructively ex-
posed by the Greek fabulist happen to be
the side of human nature which is most
enduring and which has continued to fur
nish new verifcations of Esop's wisdom from
the period when he wrote down to our
own. They are more constantly applica-
BILE in politics than in any other depart
ment of activity, there being no other in
which the selfish instincts and the transpar-
ent hypocrisy with which they are at
tempted to be veiled play SO large part
in the great comedy Of human life. How
little of Homer holds place in popular
recollection compared with the less copi-
GUS writings of the old fabulist and his
curious menagerie of knowing beasts.
Being founded on beasts. they, too, faith
fully portray tho beastly side of human
conduct, and hence their peculiar apt
ness as illustrations of modern politics.
The pending city contest comprises such
variety of elements that it presents the
whole diversified menagerie Of feathered
and unfeathered animals which make the
recitals of lEsop so entertaining to child
hood by thei, grotesqueness and to grown
people by their pithiness and satire.
In reading our modernized Esopic and
other fables this morning the units of the
Overwhelming majorities" boldly claimed
for all the candidates will not fail
to recognize how peculiarly applicable
they are to the situation. The prize
Of Office like the bone or the
cheese O. other toothsome morsel in the
fable, is sought to be won by an adoption of
stratagens that mark the instinct Of the
political animal seeking to seize it. We
find tie sly fox, the blatant donkey, the
self-dsceiving ostrich, the greedy dog, the
cringng jackal, the voracious wolf and the
lion Who brooks no rival when the prey is
to b. devoured-all contending in their Pc
culiar way for share.
