Wade has been regarded as one of

4 Little Gossipy Talk About the Pres

and His Predecessors
~
~" in once. H.. ~;

The recent prominence given to NJ.
Emile Loubet, the seventh president OF
the third French republic, because Of
his recent international visits, lends
new interest to him and to those who
have occupied his position before him.
OF all the seven presidents there was
not one whose advent looked less prom
ising that that Of M. Emile @Loubet.
Yet it IS an absolute fact that not one of
his six predecessors managed to secure
as much goodwill as he from all par
ties In the state. The kindly feeling to-
ward him is not: due to transcendent
abilities or boldness of initiative on his
part. for he lays no claim to either Of
these qualities-if qualities they be now
adays in any but an autocratic ruler.
But there is a bonhomie about the man
which every one of his predecessors
lacked; that which passed muster as
such with Jules Grevy being a more or
less palpable imitation, according to the
degree OF propinquity from which one
had the opportunity of judging. Gam
BETA, who approached very closely,
called the third president of the repub-
lie Observation-Disclosures other
words. q spurious good sort'-and he
was not far wrong.
Grevy suffered, moreover, from the
besetting sin of nearly all Frenchmen
springing from the middle classes,
though perhaps not to the same extent
as Thters-namely, righteousness, a
1ault from which Loubet is particularly
and remarkably free. .Accident-for it
would be idle to call it anything else
has also befriended him by mating him
with an open-handed wife, cordial, un-
pretending, and naturally-as distinct
from artif1cially-amiable to all, but
especially to her husbands cronies, for
whom she personally prepared her

appropriation OF 100000 toward the
completion of the monument, the chief
of engineers examined that part of
the shaft which had been standing for
half a century and discovered that it
was out of plumb. But just how much
out of plumb nobody could say. The
shaft was 1877 feet high and looked like
factory chimney, and it didn't stand
straight. That was sufficient to cast
doubt on the possibility of raising it
over 800 feet higher in the air, but no.
body in the engineers department
could get at the problem. d.
Davis happened to be stationed in
Washington and he said he could fix
it. He was not an engineer, but an
infantry officer, but they gave him a
chance to try. The difficulty was in
causing the plumb bobs or weights at
the end of string 1877 feet long to re-
main perfectly steady while the OBJ
servations were being made. Davis
very simply got barrel of New Or
leans m0lasses and poured it into q
glass vessel of the same size. The con-
sistency of the mollasses kept the
weight at the end of the string from
swaying in the air: while the glass
and the fluid were transparent enough
to enable the variations to be accu-
rately observed It was found that the
shaft was five feet out of plumb. Then
came the question of STRENGTHENING it
and again the engineers were at fault.
Again the infantry officer came to the
rescue, and the president asked him
to undertake the job. He Strengthened
the shaft.

of the president Of the senate-the Lux
embourg-was deserted.
Theirs when he became president of
the republic had very ambiguous po-
litical past to atone for; Emile Loubet
has never served any other regime.
Theirs was the reverse of generous to
his relatives, who, it is true, were not
very creditable. Loubet is most solic-
itous about the welfare of his kinsmen,
and particularly affectionate to his
mother. Family affection counts for
much in France, albeit that generally it
is based upon greed, which is not the
case with Loubet, for old Madame LOU
bet lived in humble circumstances be-
fore her sons political star reached the
ascendant, and to great extent con-
tinues to live in similar manner.
: The tragic death of M. Sadi Carnot
contributed much to the creation of an
exaggerated, not to say a false, halo
around him after his demise. His name
was of fncalculable benefit to him dur
ing his presidency. He was a civil en-
gineer of respectable attainments, but
nothing more. An act OF simple and
elementary integrity brought him to
the fore when Grevy was forced to re-
sign the presidency of the republic. II
became known that Carnot had refused
to pass shady transaction involving
the misappropriation of couple of mil
lions of francs while he was in office.
1t seemed as if the Diogeneses of the
third republic, with all their lanterns
alight, were baf11ed to find another hon
est man, and Carnot was elected. There
was another honest man-there wero
more than that one-but they had made
themselves disagreeable, not only to
their colleagues of the chamber and SEN
ate, but to the Parisians in general. who
would hear neither of Jules Ferry NOR
of Henri Brtsson, mainly on account Of
their nonsociable qualities. 1t is a sig
nif1cant fact that, Notwithstanding the
hints against Emile Loubet in connec-
tion with the Panama affair. he was
elected to the presidency by a consider
able majority. OF course M. Loubet had
to stand the onslaught of a great nor-
ton OF the Partisan press, Including
not only the organs of M. Drumont ana
N. Rochefort, but those inspired by snch
men as NJ Jules Lemaitre and M. Pan,
de Cassagnac. And when all these had
exhausted their vocabulary of vflif,ca-
ton OF the moral, intellectual and No
>litical man, they took to crfticisine hia
personal appearance and his clothes
They had voted Felix Faure too much
of g dandy; they had bantered M Cast
