improvements Board Restrained Once More
from Making Water Contract.
Supreme Court Justice Smith. In Brooklyn
yesterday. granted temporary Injunction
restraining President Maurice +. Holahan and
other members OF the Board OF Public I'M
provsments from entering into the proposed
contract with the Ramapo Water Company.
The application upon which the Injunction was
granted was made by President Grout Of the
Borough OF Brooklyn. who alleged that the
action OF tho Board OF Public Improvsm ents in
Attsm ptlng to enter into contract with tho
Ramapo company was undertaken In disregard
Of tho oficial duties and responsibilities i'm
posed upon the members as trustees OF the
property OF the city of Now York. Tho argu-
ment TO make the Injunction permanent will
be heard on next Tuesday.
When the Board OF Public Improvsm snts
met yesterday President Holahan said that he
supposed all the members had been served with
copies Of tho nav Ramapo Injunction. and Mr.
Holahan's manner OF speaking Indicated that

valuable TO Us as those Of the German con-
sumner who pays us the practical compli-
ment Of buying our meat In preference to
that OF any other country. For several
years after the Agrarian warfare on our
meats lod to hostile legislation there was
largo decline In Germsny's purchases. The
Agrarian hue and cry against us has not
abated and unfriendly laws are still In force,
but our sales In Germany have been increas-
ing by leaps and bounds because the quality
Of our products refutes the libels Of theAgra-
rian press. Last year Germany imported
SO, 597 tons Of meat. and Al, 243 tons Of 1t
came from this country. Germany bought
nearly three times as much meat from us
as from Holland, which was the largest
source Of her European purchases. Pork
was our chief export and the American hog
took the first prize In the competition on his
merits.
Stock growers In this country say that
more has been done to improve our swine
than to enhance the quality Of any other
animals we raise. They are the finest
product Of the greatest corn region in the
world. and our corn belt supplies e5 per
cent. Of the pork we export. All that our
pork or other meat exports need 10 fair
field and they win their way even whom the
odds are against them.

which he maintained that we should have
no less than lie additional vessels OF large
and moderate size and, In addition, 1873
torpedo boats OF the destroyer and Or
binary grades He estimated that for our
offensive and defensive fleets to become
thoroughly efficient we should have twenty
three more monitors. twenty-one more
coast defence battleships, twenty-four more
sea-going battleships, forty-eight more
armored cruisers, twenty-nine more pro-
tected cruisers, twenty-six more scouting
cruisers, ten more unprotected cruisers,
ten more gunboats, ninety-four torpedo
destroyers and thirty-nlne more torpedo
boats. He estimated that all these could
be built in fifteen years at an annual ex-
penditure Of $40, 600, 900 and total cost
Of 5000, 900, 900. We will say frankly that
this plan leaves out Of account the regular
coast defences.
One thing has been made plain to all.
It is the impossibility OF preparing the
navy to meet great crisis in few weeks
or few months. The people now UNDER
stand that a battlsship cannot be built In
less than two years.

The South and Expansion.

to be high-gravel blind. While he still re-
CARDS Imperialism as an evil, he admits tn at
Organism Of the brand OF 1896 is greater
evil. A Washington despatch to the Euen-
ing Post quotes him as saying:
"K We arc driven TO . choice between the two, It
would be safer to let imperialism take its and
work out Its own condemnation. aad put all our
strength into the domestic night against Organism. II

sensible than Of the wrong Of taking the Philippines
into Republic; but honestly feel that demoral.
ization and ruin at home are little worse than en-.
pirs abroad"
Very blind still but no longer high-gravel
blind. The South sees much more clearly.
The remarkable growth and prosperity Of
the Southern cotton mills are turning the
minds OF the Southern cotton planters and
manufacturers away from the politics that
hurt their pockets. South Carolina which
ranks next to Massachusetts as manufac-
turer OF cotton goods. asks her Represent
atives In Congress to help keep the ports OF
China open. The industrial convention

Tho Victory OF Tuesday.

Tho results OF the election indicate very
clearly the denomination OF Mr.. BRYAN
next year and not less Enthusiastically that
OF Mr.. MCKINLEY.
No possible rival OF BRYAN was brought
out, which MCLEAN, In running for the
Governorship Of Ohio, hoped to become.
BRYAN carried his home State, the loss OF
which by him might have introduced an ele-
ment OF doubt into the situation, so far as
concerned his continued leadership Of the
Democratic party. The victory Of tho
Republicans In Kentucky is no blow to
him, for, while he entered into the cam
paign for GoEBEL a. necessity OF party
regularity, no was In no way responsible
for GoEBKL's candidacy and it was not
made In his interest. At the South BRYAN's
strength Is undiminishcd. The Democratic
victory in Maryland inures to his adj
vantage. The victory OF Tammany in the
city Of New York, after formally and
heartily committing itself to his leader
ship, presages an undivided Bryan dele
cation from New York to the Democratic
National Convention next year.
BRYAN remains therefore, the unqucstion-
able and unopposed leader Of the Demo-
cratic party, with the probability OF his
unanimous denomination next year in
creased to a substantial certainty.
Moreover, the election having demonstra-
ted that the issue OF "anti-imperialism Is
without force with the people OF either
party, the chances OF its entering signifl-
cantly into the Presidential campaign nsxt
year are reduced greatly. Meantime. there
is every reason to believe that the military
campaign for the paciflcation Of the
Philippines will DO carried to successful
conclusion, and the next Congress will pro-
vide for the islands just and orderly civil
government. which will have brought to
them the advantages Of the Quietude OF
peace long before the election OF next year
occurs. This will leave the Democratic
party with no other notable issues to stir
it's passions than those represented by
BRYAN.
The great Victory of Tuesday was of the
policy OF expansion OF the Administration;
the great defeat was of the humbug and
reactionary spirit OF "anti-impcrialism."

A Call of States.

Taken one by one the States which
expressed their political sentiments on
Tuesday answered the demands OF the
spring souls OF the Democratic party, in
this manner:
Massachusetts,: As strong In its Repub-
licanism as ever The diminished majority
for the head OF the ticket was incidental to
the diminished vote OF an Off year. Tho
anti-imperialist PARSONS, who failed OF
denomination to the Legislature In his dis
trict on his own issue, was beaten, running
as an independent.
New Jersey: More Republican than when,
a year ago. it elected its present Repub-
lcan Governor.
Pennsylvania: Colossal as usual in it's
Republican majority.
New York: A Republican rock; as agrees.
lively Republican. outside OF the unique
district dominated by Tammany, as Texas
Is Democratic.
Kansas: Full OF its old party spirit Re
publicans stronger and Populists weaker.
South Dakota: No favor for AGUISALDo;
South Dakota stands by the Stars and
Stripes.
Maryland, originally Democratic State,
Mississippi, another, In which there was no
Republican candidate at all, Virginia, lack
ing In the same way, and Nebraska,
BRYANs own, have gone Democratic for
self-explaining reasons but little connected
with the paramount issue.
Kentucky. rent with internal conflicts
over matters OF purely State concern, can
- cot tlA x.-tt
the expansion question, although 1t elected
Republican for Governor, performance
implying necessarily great Republican
strength.
But here are the two States in which the
Anti-Imperialists made their hottest and
most virulent canvass:
Iowa: A Republican majority fit for =
banner year.
Ohio: The Democratic platform OF anti
Imperialism, a Republican faction, headed by
the State Governor elected by that party,
openly seeking the Administrations dis
comf1ture. an Independent candidate OF
Republican antecedents, anti-imperialism
antitrustlsm and anti annaism all buried
under Republican majority double that
which on day OF unbroken harmony
elected this same boiling Governor two
years ago.
With expansion in the Pacific announced
as our foremost purpose, and the suppros.
sion Of the Aguinaldo rebellion against
American sovereignty established in the
Philippines our most pressing duty, vote
In these important States Of the Union
proves tho Administration to DO practically
as strong In popular suppOrt as n was whom
elected. 1t was great day for America.
