LOUBET'B SUCCESSOR.
(Washington Post.)
When ib* French republic to to-
day—ihe third expariment to France
in something like popular government
—raked out of the ruin* to the em-
pire founded by Louis Napoleon on
tb<* rulnr of ihe * second republic,
which he betrayed, there was an al-
most. universal expectation that it
would be *ho'-S-liveJ. For fifteen or
twenty years thereafter cabinet cries
were frequent and exciting, creating
anxiety in the minds of the repub-
lic’s friend* and inspiring hope in
the heart* of Its enemies at horns
and abroad. Bu although many
(Jibch imperiled, the republic lived
on. and that anxiety and fiat hope
grew fainter and fainter. Almost thir-
ty-five years have claps ad jince the
republic’* birth, and it has come to
be regarded a* a fixture. Claimants
of the krone are-no longer regarded
a* dangerous person»; neither the re-
public nor other governments or na-
tions treat their pretensions serious-
ly The next president of FYance will
to elected by foe parliament next
month. Anent ;hi-. coming great
event, the Paris Temp* has laid down
rules that are at least interesting.
Here they are;
“President Lou tot's successor
should ba ripe In years, but not old.
He should be robust and active, ‘seif-
made,' and appear in sbop window
photographs with wife and children—
the more children the better. He
need not to a savant, and even his
speeches may be written far him. but
at all coats, be must have a smile.
Finally, he muat wear a high hat and
be a fair shot. With* such an outfit,
a president of France can serve out
his term and be beloved by bts peo-
ple."
How much of that is imended to
pas* for humor and how much for
solemn admonition we will not under-
take to gueas; but If that paragraph
were a section of the French consti-
tution, it mlgai be differen shrdlu
tution it might be difficult to find a
candidate who could be lawfully
elected.
The Army and Navy Journal says
that: •'Governor-Elect Guild, of Mas-
sachusetts, in appointing his staff, has
set an example which Is heartily com-
mended to the governors to other
states. Everyone to the nineteen gen-
tlemen he has assigned to staff duty
has held a commission in the regular,
volunteer or militia service, as we
stated last week, and several have
had practical experience in the opera-
tions to actual war. The result is
that Governor Guild, himself a veteran
to the Spanish war. tn which he made
an enviable record, will have at com-
mand the advice and co-operation of

The waiter still hesitated.

Devotion Demanded to Wooers.
A Presbyterian clergyman to this
city, with two popular daughters, has
discovered a new way to end the vis-
its of iheir beaux at a seemly hour
—a plan which might appeal to lay
families a* well.
For a number to years It ha* been
a custom of thie good man to hold
evening worship after supper, always

discourse. Thing* went very well un-
til the daughter* began to receive the
