THE PRESIDENT ON GERMAN
UNITY

The President has addressed message to
Congress recommending that the representa-
tive of this Government at Berlin be placed
upon the same footing as those at London
and Paris. One reason assigned for this is
that by the union of the German States into
q great empire, the duties and responsible
ties of our diplomatic representative will be
greatly increased; but more important than
this is the fact that Germany has not only
become a frst-class power, but the leading
power in Europe. The message of the Pre-
sident is, for the most part, made up of sim
cere and hearty congratulations upon the ac-
complishment of the unifcation of Germany,
and the comparison between the Govern
ments of the United States and the German
Empire is Just and forcible. The Presi-
dent says:-
"The bringing Of great masses of thoughtful and
free people under single government must tend
to make governments what alone they should be,
the representatives of the viii aud the Organization
OF the power OF the people. The adoption in Eu-
rope Of the American system of union under the
control and direction OF free people, educated to
sefresraint cannot fail to extend popular institu-
tons and 10 enlarge the peaceful influence Of Ame-
rcan IDEAS The relations of the United States with
Germany are intimate and cordial"
The President thinks, as the most clear
headed men in this country and in Europe
have thought, that the predominanoe of an
educated, home-loving, steady, free, and vir-
tuous people, such as the Germans certainly
are, will be benefit to themselves, to Eu-
rope, and to the human race. He does not
look upon the establishment of the German
Empire as the glorifcation of particular
race of princes, but as the realization of the
hopes and dreams of a people who have made
and are making steady advances in the direc-
tion of true liberty, who respect the law, and
who are in reality the only people in Europe
who appear to understand what republican
ism really is. The most substantial addi-
tions that are made to the population of this
country by foreign immigration come from
Germany, and this of itself is a
bond of sympathy between the two
nations that is of the highest
importance now that Germany has suddenly
obtained such an ascendanoy upon the CONT
nent of Europe. The fact that Germany has
become first class power is of itself suf-
fcient reason for Congress to carry out the
recommendation of the President in regard
to increasing the salaries of our Minister and
the Secretary of Legation at Berlin, and we
hope, therefore, that the message will receive
both in the Senate and House the attention
it deserves.

OBITUARY..
Henry steInSyay.


Henry steinway the founder of the celebrated
piano manufacturing firm of SteinwaY q Sons,
died yesterday morning at his residence In New
York city. Mr.. Steinway was a native of the
Duchy of Brunswick, Germany, and was born
on the 18th of February, 1877. He early dis
played a taste for music and particular talent
for the construction of musical instruments,
He learned cabinet-making, worked in an organ
factory, and studied the art Of piano
making. In 1850 he arrived In New York, and
in 1858, in connection with his sons, started
piano mandatory and turned out about one
instrument per week. The business rapidly in
creased, and at the end of year the firm re-
moved to larger quarters. In 1855 the Steinway
pianos gained gold medal at the New York
Industrial Exhibition of the American Institute,
held at the Crystal Palace which brought them
prominently into notice.
In 1860 the firm occupied its present factory,
to which additions have been made at various
times as the fame of the Ste.nway pianos and
the business of manufacturing them increased
Mr.. Henry Stenway had not for several years
been actively engaged in business.

CONTINENTAL HOTEL, Philadelphia, Pa.
Grants Neutrality ExpOunded.
What Does it Mean?

Americans, study. "Daunter" means de-
fant. The yacht "Daunter" collects the AEa-
6dmd Claims in 1872. Tea-drinkers will not
collect them before. The South and West
want the money with interest, and the ma
tion's honor demands thirty day draft in the
hand of "a good Yankee col c0IectOr"-Benjamin
F. Butler, if you p ease. But the debt must
be paid. France congratulated on the esta-
blishment of Repu6lic-means right.
The Cuban flag is lettered as follows
''Spain, your orders for munitions and vessels
of war solicited" which means oppression,
and is direct contradiction of congratulation
to France, and antagonistio to our republi-
can form of government and freedom. Our
forefathers, Washington or Jackson, never
intended that it should be so. The "Daun-
ten" is the name of vessel, a model of which
floats from Henry L. Helmbolds Chemical
Warehouse, No. 594 Broadway, decked with
the flags of all nations, and containing the
above remarks. AS these words were handed
down by high authority, and they being en-
blematic of the american Eagle, should any
patriot sHaR" them down, the noble bird
would fautter. To hand them down to pos
terity is every Americans duty.-EOeniHg

Mr.. CESSNA has at last made an explanation
of bis action in the Chorpenning claim case.
His story will of course be accepted for its
full face value, but we hope that Pennsylva-
MIA will not send many more members of
Congress who are so "over-Eealous" or 'con-
fidiDg" as to present resolutions which are
officially construed to require the payment of
nearly $500, 900 of the public money on old
and poorly founded claims, and which direct
Postmaster Generals to ignore evidence
favorable to the Government.

influence upon the Republican orgaui-.
zation of this city. Such an un-
fortunate blunder will indicate
more clearly than volumes of comment that
the blood-suckers of the party will not be
content until they drain the last drop of its
vitality; and if the party cannot muster up
sufficient strength and resolution to detach
them from its bleeding veins, it does not re-
quire much prophetic ken to discover what
fate awaits the Republican organization of
Philadelphia.

CAPTAIN EYRE.
The Hero of the s'Oneida', Disaster-His Bre-
Iher of Iannicn NOIOrletY.

The Hero OF the ''OneldH' Uieaster-1t8 BfG-
ther of Iamnicn NOIorletv.
Readers will doubtless remember distinctly
the loss of the United States gunboat Oneida,
near Yokohama, and the fate of her gallant
crew. The slight sentence of six months sus-
pension of Captain Eyre, of the British steam
ship Bombay, caused every heart to revolt at
the standard of British injustice. That Captain
Eyre could have prevented the disaster there is
little doubt; and even after it had occurred he
could have saved the gallant crew of the Oneida
if he had made an effort to do so. 1t is, how
ever, some satisfaction to Americans to know
that when the term of suspension of Captain
Eyre expired, the British Mail Steamship
Company informed him that they had no fur
ther use for his services. His brother, ex-Gov-
ernOr Eyre, of Jamaica notoriety has settled
down in England as country gentleman, his
services not being in demand by an ungrateful
country. The total fund raised for this gentle
man was SIS 600. Rather more than half this was
absorbed by law costs and the expenses of the
fund; and he received check for $35 000 The
Government will pay hm $25, 600 to defray the
costs of his defense, this being the rule when
the defendant is a Government servant put on
his trial on charges relating tohis official duties

PNEUMATIC TUBE under the streets,
squares, and avenues of Philadelphia for the
transmission of letters, parcels mails, mer-
chandise, or passengers may possibly be a
very desirable improvement and an accept
able addition to our present facilities for
transportation and travel; but be this as it
may, it is certain that the bill introduced on
Monday in the State House of Representa-
tives by Mr.. w. F. Smith is about as impu-
dent proposition as has ever been brought
before the Legislature. This bill proposes to
give to certain unnamed individuals the
right to bore any number of tunnels, of any
size, in any direction within the corporate
limits of the cityof Philadelphia. The streets
can be vacated during the operations of the
tube borers, who are allowed all the time they
may choose to tske, and all the
public squares are placed at their
disposal for the erection of passenger sta
tions, or for any purposes they NAV choose
to desire them for. This bill is practicable
unlimited in its sphere of operations and
Mr.. Smiths pneumatic-tube borers, if thew
ever get into operation, will in point of fact
become the owners of all the public and pri-
vate property in the city of Philadelphia
they may choose to lay their hands upon. 1t
is certainly astounding that any member of
the Legislature should have the effrontery to
introduce such measure as this, and the
