well to state further, that they have been large
exporters of pianos, having shipped for many
years a great number of their instruments to
Europe in a partly finished condition, the un-
finished pianos to be completed at their Ham-
burg factory and made suitable to the European
climate.
In reply to a query as to the possibility of his
accepting a foreign appointment, Mr. Steinway
replied that it would be a physical impossibility
for him to accept any appointment, and that
although he has been a life-long Democrat and
is a firm believer in Democratic principles, he
has never been identified with any local political
organization whatsoever, devoting his reserve
strength to directing the vast commercial en-
terprise of which he is the head.
It seems to us that for a paper holding the
position which the New York Tribune occupies
in metropolitan and national journalism, it is a
despicable and unworthy act on the part of its
conductors to make such an uncalled-for per-
sonal onslaught upon the head of a great firm
upon the very day of election.
Bush & Gerts Piano Co. write us that
since their organization into a stock com-
pany they have every reason to congratulate
themselves, as business has never been so brisk
or so large in volume as since the incorporation
under the new title. The months of September
and October have surpassed all previous records,
with every indication pointing to an enormous
business for the coming holiday season. They
have recently been very successful in placing
their pianos in a number of musical insti-
tutions, among which might be mentioned
the Normal College at Bloomfield, Iowa ; the
Normal School at Chillicothe, Mo. ; the Con-
servatory of Music at Wayne, Neb. ; the High
School at Beatrice, Neb.; and the Western Con-
servatory of Music at Toledo, Iowa, where their
piano is used exclusively. In addition to a
number of uprights, they have placed two
grands in the Conservatory at Toledo, which
are giving entire satisfaction. They have also
placed one of their new grands in the Marquette
Club of Chicago. This shows somewhat the
progress that is being made by this enterprising
house.
WILUAM MOORE, who was a
candidate for the Legislature in the
Seventh, Norfolk, Mass., District, received the
following strong endorsement of the 600 em-
ployees of the Everett Piano Co. at an informal
meeting held by them November 4 :
" WHEREAS, It has been made known to us
that our employer, Col. William Moore, of the
Everett Piano Co., is a candidate for the Legis-
lature in the Seventh Norfolk District, there-
fore be it Resolved, That we, his employees, do
most heartily and unanimously endorse him as
a tried friend of labor, and ever ready to promote
the interests of his employees."
Colonel Moore was elected to the Assembly.
All the local papers have spoken highly of the
Colonel's great popularity in the district, and
the result of last Tuesday shows that his friends
stood by him nobly.

AT a meeting of the Central Labor Union,
held in Typo Hall, Cambridge, Mass., Novem-
ber 6, delegates from the Piano Varnishers &
Polishers Union passed a resolution condemn-
ing the action of the police during the strike at
the factory of Ivers & Pond, Cambridgeport. It
is claimed that a man not connected with the
strike was assaulted by a policeman, and that
the police had attempted to intimidate the
strikers and prevent them from walking near
the factory.

C. L. LUCAS, representing the Manufacturers'
Piano Co. of Chicago, 111., states that he was
seated next to W. G. Pollock, who claims to
have been robbed while on a train to Sioux
Falls. Lucas regards the whole matter in
rather a suspicious light. He states that after
leaving Blair, Neb., a masked man came from a
closet and demanded Pollock's valuables, hitting
him over the head with a bag of shot, which
burst and flew all over the car. The man drew
a revolver within five feet of Pollock and fired
five times. Lucas thinks Pollock was not hurt
and that blank cartridges were used.
