The REGISTER notes with pride and
pleasure the true Christian position OF
Cardinal Gibbons, and wishes his like
we're legion among the teachers who
profess to follow Him whose sole cry
was for justice and mercy; who laid
down His life that all men might, in
view OF the forbearance necessary to
their final welfare, extend goodwill to
one another. The Cardinal, at Balti-
more, two Sundays ago, spoke of the
mockery of justice in our warfare with
the Filipinos and that OF England
against the Beers, and denounced it as
beneath the pr~otestations of Christian
nations. He was especially severe on
nations forcing a new civili-
cation upon weaker ones at the mouth
of a cannon aud compelling them TO
submit to a tyranny at which their
lives rebelled. The righteousness OF
the Cardinals sermon is SO patent that
one stands amazed that there are
preachers militant who cry for war
and urge on the basest passions known
to mapkind-murder, robbery and OPP
preston being the result, as certainly
as miasms breeds disease. The war
evangelist propagates unbelief by in
versely appealing to the nobler in
stincts and attributes of men; clad in
the livery OF heaven, he serves the
devil as no "unregenerate" ever did
or can.

call it benevolent assimilation. how
many did Spain have to kill in three
hundred years to warrant the United
States in designating Spanish rule as
barbarism?"

RUMORED REDUCTIoN.-There is said
to be some apprehension in police cir
cles as to the outcome OF the suggestion
that the force be reduced to fifteen men.
Mayor Simpson in his message to Coup.
Gil recently said fifteen men are sufh-
Gent for the service required, and 1t is
understood some OF the commissioners
agree with him. The former, however,
is averse to dismissing any men from
the force, but when four shall have re-
signed or in any other way severed their
connection he suggests that their places
be not filled. Some of the commission
ers, however, believe the services OF
four should be dispensed with as soon
as Spossible. 1t is not known what
action Council will take In the matter.
They may adopt the Mayors recon-
mendation and wait for four to die or
resign. On the other hand 1t is said by
some that the city fathers are Just as
likely to order a reduction 10 the force
to take place on the 1st of August, in
which event reorganization would be
made by the commissioners, who would
formally dismiss the entire force and
re-elect such of the number as they be-
lieved most suited for policemen. The
outcome is awaited with some anxiety
by those interested.

DAMAGEBY RAINS. While compare.
lively little rain has fallen bereabouts
during the past few days. there have
been downpours in other sections, and
in many instances serious damages
have resulted. There have been wash
outs in several places on the Southern
Railway-bcth on the main stem and
Manassas brsnch-and all trains ar
irving here during the past twenty-four
hours have been more or less late.
There has been serious washout at
Gilbert's, on the Charlottesville and
Rapidan division of the Southern road,
and trains going west or coming east
are held up at that point awaiting the
repair Of the roadbed, work on which is
being prosecuted as rapidly as possible.
Some through trains proceeded via
Gordonsville and around the washout.
Trouble on the Chesapeake and Ohio
road Is also being experienced from
washouts, and all trains are late. The
F. F. V. train, due here at 3:20 yester-
day afternoon, did not arrive until 3
o'clock at night. The most serious
trouble on the @. & o. road was at
Gotham. The wooden approach to the
new iron bridge over the Rivanns,
known as the free bridge, was carried
away by high water. The machiney
on the second floor of the Charlottes.
Vile Woollen Mills is under water. and
the river is still rising. The loss is e.
timated at between s., 900 aud $1,000.

TIE TION.-ArrsDgemen!s for
today's election were continued last
night long after the time when grave
yards are said to yawD. Meetings
were held In several places on the en-.
yiroDs of the city-notably In "Peters.
burg" and "Buzzard's Roost'-where
negroes were corralled and hsrangued
by white men. The scenes are de.
s;ribed by those present as more ridicu-
lous than anything witnessed in recon-
struction days when nondescripts
whose faces were of the color OF bro
gans clamored for "pints OF order"
All sorts ofchsrges were made against
the powers that be, and those who
were aspirants for their shoes were also
lampooned numerically. Like the
mob at Ephesus ia the days OF Paul,
some shouted one thing and some
another, while most OF the hordes were
not certain whether they understood
the purpose OF their assembling. They
formed genuine menageries, and
whisky and election cigars were in evi
dence. The wirepullers, waylayers.
buttonholers, heelers and liquor and
cigar dispensers were up before the
sun and had taken their places when
the windows at the respective voting
places were raised. At first there was
q squirt among ballot depositors who
were anxious to get to work, or catch
boats or trains for Washington, where
they ere employed; but this was sue
ceeded by lull. which was occasionally
broken by sutfragan approaching and
asking for a ticket. In the First ward
a few champions OF both caDdi-
dates for Mayor planted them
selves ia opposite doorways where
they could command every point
of the compass and awaited the
approach OF prey in the shape OF some
undecided voter. A carriage had been
drawn up by the curbstone for want OF
something to do. The driver yawned
as though about to fall asleep, while
the equine stamped flies, sbivered and
chewed Cd its bit. A bunch of people
congregsted in front OF the old City
Hotel where ballots were being receiv.
cd for the Second ward. Conditions
we're decidedly torpid there also. At
the court house precinct few white
men were gathered, but they did not
seem to have enough to do to keep away
drowsiness. On the corners near by
some negroes with hats on the back OF
their heads and cheap cigars in their
mouths posed as influential adjuncts
to the scene. Everything was quiet at
the Friendship precinct, and voting
was proceeding slowly. In the Fourth
ward, where Horace Swain is antsgo-
nizing John T. Sweeney for the Board
OF Aldermen and Frank Evans is an in
dependent candidate for the Common
Council, large number had gathered
and the animation was more pro-
nounced. Later in the day, however,
there were buster scenes. Carriages
with voters made better time through
the streets, and when the workshops
shall close the voting will be lively I'M
Gil the polls close. The barrooms were
supposed (?) to be closed. The vote at
four o'clock was as follows:
