MUSICAL REVIEW.

The music publishing business has grown quite dull
coming less every day. The reason may be found
In the scathing exposures OF the narrow minded and
unbusness like schemes Of the publishers In foistng
40 much trash on the public In keeping good COM
posers in the background through interested mo-
tiyes and In their systematic unfarness towards all
composers, which have been given weekly In the
HERALD There Is every indication that revolu-
ton in the music publishing trade viii soon take
place. The composers will shortly have o chance OF
taking the entire business in their own hands ana
fighting their tyrannical masters on equal terms.
The budget OF new music for this week Is somewhat
smaller than usual.

muscular Macdun for, after al, the issue between
these two men Is that OF two gladatOrsa matter OF
