An IMPORTANT COPYEiGsir
DECISION.

In sustaining the copyright in the
piano arrangement of "The Mikado =
which secures the exclusive right of pub
fishing it in print-the United States
Circuit Court in Massachusetts, has at-
frmed a principle of general interest
and Importance. The facts of the case
are these: Sir Arthur Sullivan, being a
foreigner, is not entitled to copyright in a
piano arrangement of "The Mikado "
prepared by himself. An agreement was
made with George Lowell Tracy, a Bos'
ton musician, by which he was to ar
range the opera for the piano. He made
the arrangement in London, and was
paid for his services. 1t was copyrighted
in the United States in the name OF
Alexander P. Browne, the attorney OF
D'Oyly Carte, who represented Gilbert
and Sullivan, and by Browne the copy
right was assigned to Carte.
It is clear that American copyright
will not vest in a foreign composer. 1t
is equally clear that copyright will vest
in a piano arrangement Of aforeign opera
made by an American citizen and that
his copyright may be assigned to an
alien. 1t is foreign authorship, that our
copyright is against. Every step in the
proceedings by which Carte, Gilbert and
Sullivan secured the copyright in the
piano arrangement was, strictly speak
ing, according to law. At the same
time, the plan has the appearance OF a
mere device to evade the law. And this
point was urged against the validity of
the copyright, but Judge Nelson over
ruled the objection.
A different decision might have been
or may yet be rendered by another Judge
in another circuit. But if the law be as
it has been interpreted by Judge Nelson,
a way is opened to foreign authors and
composers Of securing some rights
hitherto generally supposed to be denied
them

Swinburne has contributed to the
literature of the electoral conflict in
England a " song" so-called which will
perhaps not add much to his fame.
S~winburne's name is made up OF two
syllables that are significant in the cir.
cumstances. Swim is the old English
word which has left us the plural swine
aud signifed hog; while burne is the
%rivulet or small stream in which the hogs
were washed. From a writer with such
a name we might fairly look for a little
Of that kind Of literature popularity
known as "hogwash."
