A SENSIBLE PRESIDENT.
I M- Loubet, although he is not as popular as he. was with the extreme Dreyfusard faction, is becoming, every day (says a Paris correspondent) more and more popular with the majority of his compatriots. And now one of them— a contemporary journalist — has discovered; what the more observant of us have often notice!, that there does not exist of Loubefc a caricature sufficiently like him, and at the same time sufficiently ridiculous, to be cutting. Thieys, Macmahon, Grevy, Carnot, Casimir-P<erier, Felix Faure, each one of these men had some peculiarity .which, in the person of the President of the Republic, permitted 1 of their being amply ridiculed with pen . and pencil. Loubet, on the: other hand, is possessed of the "solid goodl sense of. the peasant. He knows his place, and) he keeps to it. He behaves with dignity and without ostentation. He is always icind, but never condescending. There is nothing either in ■hi« appearance or in his gestures that inTites caricature. '
