TILE TRUST INCORPORATED
Ready to Absorb All the
Factories Of the Country
Capital $3.50, 900.
Especial to 9Th. Jersey city Nsus..1

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.s1
TRENTON, April 4, 1s01.-The American
Tile Company, whose object is said to be
to absorb the leading tile manufacturing
plants in the country, was Incorporated
yesterday in the office of the Secretary of
State. The capital stock of the new COM
pany, as authorized by the charter. is
only $4,000. This amount it is understood
will be increased if the proposed deal is
successful, as was done in the case of the
United States Steel Corporation last Mon
day.
Among the concerns which are expected
to be absorbed if the present plans of the
syndicate are carried out are the Trent
Tile Works and the PrevidentiaI Tile
Works of this city, and the Robertson Art
Tile Works of Morrisville.
Propositions looking toward the pur-
chase of these plants have already been
made and negotiations for the purchase
are said 10 be under way. What is the
exact status of these negotiations, the
proprietors of the local concerns are un-
willing to say at this stage
While the purpose of the newly formed
company is admittedly to form gigantic
tile syndicate by absorbing other con-
with the tile industry are inclined to be
skeptical as to the final outcome.
Past experience is responsible for this
s5epticism. On several occasions in the
past projected mergings of the tile indus
tries have fallen through at the last mo-
ment, even after the consummation of
the deals seemed a certainty.
That the local concerns would be will
ing to enter such combination under
favorable conditions is regarded as a GER
. tainty. 1t is expected that further de-
velopments during the next few days
will determine whether the proposed syn
dicate will prove successful
The enterprise is backed by New York
capitalists.

Filtration Assured.

The cunferees on the District appropria-
ton bill will now be required to pass upon
the merits of the two rival systems of wa
ter filtration. the Senate having yesterday,
on motion of Mr.. Mcmillan. written into the
bill a provision that the 100000 appro-
priated for this purpose be used for the
establishment of a ''slow sand" process.
This amendment is doubtless the result of
the investigation recently conducted by the
Senate District committee into the subject
1t was understood when the bill passed the
House and this item was under discussion
that while the House appropriations COM
mittee formally favored neither of the two
systems. 1t was inclined toward the me-
chanical or American method. which is
recommended by Col Miller. the officer
in charge of the aqueduct. The entire ques-
ton was left open. however, with the
knowledge that the Senate was, through its
committee. conducting direct inquiry into
the subject. Unless the House votes spe-
officially to adopt the Senate amendment in
this regard, the issue viii be relegated to
the conference, where the results of the
Senate committees investigation will doubt
less be considered at length. No formal re-
port has thus far been promulgated. al
though the hearings have been published.
The public is not vitality concerned in the
precise process which is to be adopted,
realizing that good results have been
achieved by both. and that the subject is
really not yet sufficiently developed for the
lay mind to reach a conclusion. 1t is anx-
ious for some reasonably reliable method
of filtration to be installed. and 1t is pleased
that the enterprise has now progressed to
the point where it is assured that the large
sum named in the bill will be expended in
the installation of one or another of these
two processes. either OF which will doubt

The Army Appoint

Daily reports from the White House show
that since the passage of the army bill the
number of the Presidents callers has ma
teiially increased. Distinguished gentle
men tread upon each others heels, SO fast
they follow. It's natural, and it's we'll
That piece of legislation has put a great
many snug berths at the disposal of the
President, and there are many applications
for them. Senators and representatives
who opposed the measure and filled the air
with warnings about Caesarism and the
empire are now in line with those who sup
ported it, and equally solictous for favors
for constituents in the distribution. The
President will probably make no distinc-
lions. He has a saving sense of humor,
and is above everyday resentments. Every
section OF the country and all political
parties are entitled to recognition, and will
receive it. The reorganized army should
reflect the best the country has to show
of patriotism and capacity, and it is good
to feel that men measuring UP to this
standard are to be found in every state Of
the Union. The President may be relied
upon. therefore, and will not find it diff
cult to acquit himself we'll of his present
duty The nominations already made to fill
the higher ranks may be accepted as evil
dence to this effect.
1t is but fair, however to point out that
those anti-imperialists who would snare in
the distribution of these places which carry
such menace to the government should be
exceedingly careful in their recommends
lions to the President. He must lean Upon
them, as upon others. for Information about
applicants He cannot be expected to have
knowledge of his own on the subject except
in a very few cases. He wants good men
men who will serve the country we'll and
reflect credit on their sponsors. He wants
them to be faithful soldiers of the republic.
and not subservient tools of aespot
scheming at the behests of capitalists and
syndicates to overturn the government. He

of Aguinaldo tried to defeat the passage of

The men who advocated the measure, and
In doing so spoke well of the army and
its traditions, need no suggestions on this
point. They are to be expected to exercise
care in urging appointments. They will
have regard for a service which they re-
spect. And so If those who opposed the
measure. and in doing SO discouraged en-

Pass the Code Bill.

Senator McComas plea yesterday for
early action by the Senate on the code bill
was well timed and forcibly presented. The
time for such action is growing short In
a little while the Senate may not be willing
to devote an entire evening to this one
measure. important though it is. With final
adjournment less than four weeks off. every
day and every night counts. 1t is to be
hoped that the ingenious appeal Of the sem
ator from Maryland who enjoys personal
knowledge Of the urgent need for this legis-
lation. will be needed, and that action will
promptly follow his effort.

Beautify the Capital.

The Press has had occasion heretofore
to comment favorably ON the project for
the purchase by the government Of all
the remaining private property lying be-
tween Pennsylvania and Maryland avenues
from the Capitol to the White House and
the transformation of this entire tract into
magnificent national park. in which
should be located the departmental build
ings This project is now presented for
consideration in the form of a Joint reso-
luton of the House and Senate authoriz-
ing the President to appoint a commission
consisting "Of two architects and one land
scape architect eminent in their profess
sions,' and approprating $4,000 for the
use of this commission in the task of de-
vising plans for the improvement of the
park system of the District of Columbia.
If the ground required for the compile
ton OF the park be condemned and pur-
chased before any further improvements
are made in the property the total cost
Will be about seven or eight millions Of
dollars; but, If the governments plan be
delayed until further expenditures have
been made by private parties, or If the
ground be bought piecemeal, the cost will
be considerably greater. For these rea-
sons 1t is important that If the contem-
plated action meet with the approval of
the people it should be taken at once.
While the present expense is large, the
sum needed does not seem extravagant
when considered in the light of knowledge
of the future needs of the government. The
result of the purchase would be to give the
government all the ground that it will
ever need for departmental buildings in
Washington and at the same time to ere
ate a fine park in the very heart of the
city. 1t would make Washington incom-
parably the most beautiful capital in the
world, and hence 1t is project which
| should fully commend itself to the patri-
| otto pride of every citizen The Press,
| which is not given to encouraging legisla-
| tive extravaganza, believes that this pro-
ject to beautify the national capital should
| be pushed to successful conclusion.

to the nuisance, as for the additional rea-
son that because of our attitude toward
Cuba no other foreign power was privi-
legged to intervene. The warning signal was
up. If Spain could not correct the evil, or
would not, We, and We alone, could, and
we would. Spain failed, and we stepped Ia.
Now if the Cubans should prove unequal
to the task of giving their island good gov
ernment: If growing out of a hastily and
poorly constructed governmental scheme by
them a nuisance should spring up of a
character as Objectionable to us as that We
put an end to when we drove Spain out. we
should be obliged to intervene again. AS
Senior Giberga puts 1t, the whole w)ria
would expect it. 1t would be justified by
every consideration of duty and safety. A
nuisance Is a nuisance; and while we should
make more allowances for the Cubans, who
are wholly inexperienced in state-making
than we made for the Spaniards, who knew
nothing but tyranny and corruption and
had no desire to acquaint themselves with
any other forms of rule, we could not at
ford to overlook, and would not overlook
demonstrated incapacty for self-govern-
ment By intervening as against Spain we
served notice on all the world that there
must be government in Cuba acceptable
to the people of the United States.
The Cubans therefore would do we'll to
heed the words of Senior Giberga and those
who hold with him. The Cuban question in
its last analysis is an American question
The island cannot be separated by the ac-
ton of its own people, or by the action Of
any foreign power, from the obligations
that rest upon 1t by reason of its geo
graphical position. Its interests are on this
side of the water and closely allied with
those of the United States, and that fact
must be kept paramount In all that is done
at Havana and here.
