MUSICAL REVIEW.

AT length aud at last the reign OF buresque
humbng has come 10 an end and the INSCRIPTIONS
publishers who fostered this fraud on music by pub
fishing such unmitigated nonsense the esprit OF
Burlesque' tnt themselves completely hors o.
combat. After a long and usurpad reign they are
reduced to Their original level OF insignincance.
Music publishing IN this country requires great
deal Of improvement. First there Is a monopoly
called the Boa.d OF Music Trade, which formerly
was an excellent institution but since Is came into
the hands OF a lew 1t has become a swindle and a
stumbling BLOCK in the path OF music some OF
those publishers think that music Is "a commodity
which can be dealt with In the same manner
the children Of Israel IN Chatham street deal
with "ole clo." and that the unfortunate and
derenceess composer can be cheated IN the same
manner that Jsrseyman can be treated In a cheap
jewelry store. Therefore, they raise a storm over
the head Of our musical editor. because he has tue
hardihood to expose their 'litte game, Those peo.
pie pretend to publish more music by American
composers than any other establishments In the
United States. Granted. But they don't pay A dol.
lar for the privilege; therefore 1t is rather singular
that they should boast OF 1t. When we take INTO
consideration The fact that none OF the European
publishers VIII accept any music unless it Is worthy
OF being patd ior We can then appreciate the depth
Of meanness towhich the unworthy representatives
OF AWeIlCau AN hluk themselves Tue very Instant
that an English buresque writer came TO this coun.
try they were d.lighted to father his musical trash
but 10 the claims OF native composers-good cues at
that--they turned deaf ear.
the Board Of Music Trade Is q good deal to blame
for this by endorsing the course OF such people. THIS
Board meets every summer and now It only amounts
TO monopoly,IOr the purpose Of grinding down
poor American composers to the very dust. From
It's ranks for Justice aud fairness, we must except

Others, VINO always pursue q fair, straightforward
course III ther dealings with composers; also the
houses 9! Dodw9stn, Dryer, Hitchcock, Schubert,

But when certain publishers, wincing under the
utter failure OF their attempts to degrade the divine
art by foisngo on the public the refuse OF concert
saloons in LONDON attempt to attack the true, fear
less deiendersof music and OF American art, they
indulge IN Quixotic enterprise and render
themselves supremely ridiculous. We have now
for eighteen months upheld the cause OF Ameri-
