HARDLY AN USPREJUDIcED EXPERT.
The Defender of the State House Commission
ers Has Contract with Them.

When the State-house Commissioners intro
duced to the public Levi r. Green as an expert
sanitary engineer in their behalf, nothing more
was known or could be learned here
about him than was stated in his own
very high Endorsement of himself. After diligent
inquiry, however, it has been ascertained that
Mr. Green, instead Of being professional sani-
tary engineer, and an expert judge of plumbing,
as the people were led TO suppose by the stress
laid by the Commissioners upon his defense
of the State house plumbing. is .
travelling representative of the Walworth
Manufacturing Company, a Boston firm
engaged in the manufacture Of steam heating
apparatus 1t further appears that the firm
which Mr.. Green represents has the contract for
furnishing the steam heating apparatus in the
new State house, and was paid an estimate last
fall of over $40. 600, while another one Is about
to be allowed by the Commissioners.

HOLDEN AND THE GOVERNOR
SHIP.

There may be a good deal more III
the rumor that Prof. L. E. Holden is to be
appointed Governor of Utah than some
people would like to believe or admit.
About the time of Cleveland's election
the Professor had some portion of his
heart set on the Governorship, though
it was afterwards asserted that he had
no desire for the place. He owns one of
the prominent and influential Dem
ocratic newspapers of the country. the
Cleveland PLain-Dealer, and if he should
set about the business of getting the Of
fee in good earnest, he would prove a
formidable competitor to any one who
might be in the race. He is a man of
means, being recognized as one of the
capitalists of his city, enjoys large
acquaintance among politicians of ma
tional repute and possesses a name
and yields an influence which would go
a long way towards putting him into an
Office like the Governorship of this Ter
ritory. An average administration
would hesitate about denying the re-
quest of man like Prof. Holden for an
Office of no more value and importance
than that of the Governor of Utah.
Taking everything into consideration,
those hereabouts who are ambitious for
the appointment, perhaps had better re-
gard the Professor as an applicant for
the place, and then array their own
chances of success against his, after
which they can strike balance 10 as
certain the probabilities O. sue
cess. Meantime the community
can complacantly look on in 81
lence, patiently awaiting results.
The people are never taken in consider
alton in such matter, nor are their
wishes or expressions needed. If the
desires of the people were taken into
into account, the Governor would be a
man whose home and interests are here,
one who is identified with the commun-
ity, and who would use the Office for
the best good of Utah.

FRAUD IN YIoLINs.
A Famous Rogue Who Counterfeit
ed Celebrated Riddles.

Nothing is easier than to put an old
date on new violin, and it is said, to
initiate perfectly the tone of Stradi-
varius is quite within the capacities of
two or three LIVING makers. But the
counterfeits in the market do not come
from the hands OF modern artists. In
the seventeenth and eighteenth centur-
les the only instruments thatwere much
sought after were those of Jacob Stainer
and Nicholas Amati. II was common
even in that age of innocence to paste a
counterfeit of Stainer's written sigma
ture on any decent violin covered with
brown varnish, and that of the printed
card of Amati on any covered with a
yellowish varnish. 1t was only toward
the end of the last century that the vio-
Inns of Stradivarius became known in
France Viotti, the Remenyi of his
day brought them into notice in Paris.
Stradivarius. the first Antonius, was a
pupil of AmatI, and his first works were
introduced under cover OF the fame of
his master. Hence there are, doubtless,
some works of Stradivarius which are
now believed to have been produced by
the earlier master. 1t was only toward
1880 that the works of GuaraeriuS, of
the two B@rgonzis, and the sons, and
other members of the.family of Anton
Jus Stradivauus came into vogue. I'M
mediately after they became objects
for collectors; and then the counter
feiters began their rascalities. Every
popularity of the volute, of the II, Of
the corners, the dove-tails, the trans
parency and color of the varnish, the
golden yellow of the Maggini, the fine
rcd brown of the Bergonzi, the pate fine
and elastic of the Jesus Thy which the
works of Joseph Guarnerlus, l6S3-1746.
with an his following the date, are
known,) all were initiated with an ex-
traordinary exactitude. To complete
the deception, the tickets were taken off
real specimens and pasted on the false.
Toward 1878, date of the death of Vuil-
laume, the worst of these lmitators, the
confusion became extreme. The rogue
was in the habit of breaking up the best
old violins that fell into his hands in Or
der TO make two out of each one. Pag-
amin himself was victim of his trick
cry. Vuillaume was such double-dyed
villain that he could not abide the
thought that in ages to come his clever
work might be honestly taken for gen.
uine. so he has generally engraved or
written his name on the instrument in
microscopic characters.

land for having removed the Governor;
and the more fulsome the praise of His
Excelleney, and the louder the asser-
ZION of his fitness for the Office from
which he had been kicked, the more
pointed and direct was the attack upon
the Presieenr. Zane was disgustingly
sloppy with his gush over Murray, and
every word OF it was a stab at
Cleveland. But the offense of the
Chief Justice which cannot be smoothed
over or palliated was the virtual notice
to the Mormons that he was their
enemy. Such a declaration might do
for the demagogue or politician, but it
is shameful when made by judge be-
fore whom 2dormens are daily taken
for such fair and impartial adjustica-
ton of their cases as the law guarantees
to all persons living in the republic.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1886-03-25
AMUSING.

It's said that Chief Justice Zane and
his admirers feel that His Honor is alb
solutely secure in his office, and that he
cannot be removed, even should the
President desire to get rid of him. The
law declares the Territorial justices
shall hold their offices for four years,
and until their successors are appointed
and qualified" In the cases of other
Territorial officers appointed by the
President, they are to hold Office four
years, and until their successors are
appointed and qualified, unless sooner
removed by the President" As the
law fixes definite term for the Judges,
and provides no way for removal,
it is claimed that Zane can
defy the President until the
four years term of the Judge
has expired. The claim is amusing in
the light of the history of the appoint
ment of Territorial Judges. How many
Federal Judges have we had who were
not unceremoniously bounced during
their terms by the President? Very
few indeed. 1t has never made any
difference to the President as to the
term; he has removed early IN the
term, in the middle and at the last quar-
ter. Chief ustice Mexican was dropped
without ceremony early in his term; so
also was Shaffer; others we're fired after
they had served a year or two
and some near the close
of the four years for which they were
commissioned. Removals take place
Just when the Offices are wanted for
Others or the appointing power thinks
the incumbent should get out. If
Cleveland should conclude tomorrow
that Zane ought to go. the Chief-Justic
would be promptly notified to step
down and out. The Judge might try
TO keep himself in through the refusal
OF the Senate 10 confirm his successor.
but even then he would have to 90 the
moment the Senate adjourned.
