HONOR TO WHOM HONOR II DUE.

Editor Denaoerdt-Whss go many persons are
prone TO find fault on every occasion where the
least shortcomings Of men In public Office is dis
covered it would be well on the otaer hand, If the
deserving man, whether In private life or In pub
lie Office, who fearlessly does his duty--even in
the face of organized wealth ~ opposition TO bis
honest convictions of dnty--should be encouraged
by The people and by the press.
The strict attention to duty which has signal
lied the official conduct Of Mr.. Charles Cavauac
stands forth in bold relief when compared with
that of others from whom better things were
expected.
Let 1t not be understood that have any an
tagonism to the contractors Of wharves, nor that
am eulogistic of the Administrator of Commerce
simply because he does his duty. but do like tc
bear testimony to tn, official public worth of any
public servant who, knowing his duty, dares per
form it, regardless OF fear, favor or consequences
pol tical o. personal.
Therefore, say l. let the taxpayers take note oi
Mr.. Cavanac's acts as an Administrator OF the
city of New Orleans, and render him the tribute
of "Welt done, thou true and faithful servant,
which he deserves.

Gen. Thomas Fixing for the Expedition TO
AI' xic0.
Rumored Contemplated Alliance Between
France AMI Germany Against
England.


WASHINGTON, May 22.--Gen. Thomas,
the prime mover of the proposed Mexi-
can expedition. has returned here from
New York to complete his diplomatic
arrangements. The recent stampede OF
Lerdo from the movement does not
affect Its prospects. though it necessi-
tates some additional understanding be-
tween Thomas and our government.
There is no change in the general
programme. It is given out
that several foreign appoint
ments will be made at Cabinet
meeting to-day. The European war
views are not important. 1t Is stated,
on what seems to be good authority,
that France and Germany are nego-
tiating secret alliance. the object OF
which is to prevent England from
seizing Egypt, and thus nationalizing
the Suez Canal under the British flag.
The report comes through Russian
channels. IL 1t is true, 1t considerably
changes the situation. BUELL..

A Tawn Wasting Away Under German
Rule.
[London Standard
In Lorraine the French population is
either emigrating or wasting away. and
in Metz particularly the instances OF
depopulation and pauper1zation that
strike any one who keeps his eyes open
are too evident to be explained away by
any amount OF official sophistry. Metz
as n city Ia q sinking ship. The French
are vanishing. and the Germans have
not come yet. The garrison appears no
larger than that of Strasburg, and, the
town being Of far larger dimensions,
makes less show.
The garrison keeps far more aloof
| from the inhabitants, and no inter-
course whatever takes place between
| the two. To supply the wants OF the
garrison and Of the German officials and
| their families=for many Of the officers
and superior employees have their wives
and children with them - German
tradesmen have been imported, and
pear to do any business. In short. Metz
used to have $4,000 inhabitants its
present population, including the mill
tary, does not exceed 10000, and OF these
only about $4,000 are French, and as
time progresses the number is likely te
diminish. The whole Of one quarter 81
the town the Quarter st. Vincent-or
the left bank OF the Moselle, Is literally
empty.
The Bavarians are, 1t appears to me
more disliked than the North Germans
The people hate the Prussians, but the,
cannot help entertaining a kind o
respect for them--that sort OF respec
that arises from fear of fsuperior strength
but the Bavarians do not inspire any
such feeling.
