ABUSE OF CRoss-ExAMINATIoN

A recent trial in one of our criminal
courts has called the attention Of the
public to the great license which is
permitted in the cross-eXaminatlon OF
witnesses. The subject is not new,
and our people have become so thor
oughly accustomed to the explorations
of lawyers into the private lives CT men
and women, under pretence OF cross
examination, that it is only when the
accustomed line is crossed that the
public sentiment ie, or PROCESSES to be,
deeply shocked.
Nothing illustrates the difference
between the practice of the continental
nations Of Europe and our own so
deeply at this very subject of cross
examination. Indeed, cross-examina-
ton, as We understand the expression,
is scarcely known in those countries.
There is none at all in civil trials, and
the utmost that the Frsnch barrister
in criminal cases. is permitted 10 do is
to suggest that certain questions be
asked by the presiding justice; but that
official generally looks with suspicion
upon any such iuterfereoce with his
own functions, and is apt to shrug his
shoulders politely, and 10 suggest that
such question is entirely irrelevant
After this. belonging as he does to
courteous race, he sometimes does ad-
dress himself to the witness In the
manner suggested; but he does it In
such way that the counsel is not
encouraged to renew the attempt. This,
of course, is popularity of the system,
and is accepted as the proper method
of conducting such controversies. 1t
certainly has the advantage of keeping
the fioodgates Of scandal closed, and
permitting an important criminal
trial to be completed without dragging
innocent persons into its publicity
without blasting regulations, and
without infiicting deep distress upon
parties not directly connected with the
alleged offence. But, whether good or
bad, the system is q logical and
coherent one. Cross-examination has
for its object to elicit facts which the
other side has not cared to elicit. 1t
presupposes an antagonist in the one
who conducts the direct examination.
But this thsory wholly fails where, as
under the system of the Code Napc-
leon, the presiding magistrate, who
has already studied the case, examines
the witnesses himself. Tie presump-
tion is that he seeks, without bias or
prejudice, to draw out all the facts,
and that he will do so even without the
aid of counsel. 1t need hardly be
said here that our people would not
consent to vest the judges with such
extensive powers. They may not be
excessive when wisely exercised, but
the liability to abuse is manifest

Washington:
That after the most complete investi-
cation of the resources and conditions
of the territory of Arizona, with the
light of the experience and intelligence
of the members of this congress in the
work of reclaiming and developing arid
lands, we are fully assured that the
growth of Arizona in wealth and popu-

her imperfect system of government:

demand not only for her own welfare,
but above all IN the interest of the

the matter should be known at once. Mr..
Hereford therefore made three PROPOSE
tious to the board:
That they employ men to take absolute
charge of the case, Mr.. Hereford to
assist them.
That they send the Maricopa district
attorney here to assist in the case.
Or that they authorize Mr.. Hereford
to employ his own counsel probably
either from the Pima bar or Mr..
Williams or Mr.. Cox, of Maricops, they
being able men and familiar with the
case.
Thus far the board have done nothing.
They talked of sending over District
Attorney Williams, who pending the
likelihood OF the trial of the case in
Maricopa county, made a thorough
study Of it. Should they persist in
doing nothing Mr.. Hereford will probab-

ARIZONA'S CLAIMS FOR STATE
HOOD.

Under date of Oct. 3, the New York
Mail and Express contained the
| following:
Marcus A. Smith, the Congressional
| delegate from Arizona, has prepared a
strong report to lay before the Com
mittee on Territories today in favor of
the admission of Arizona into tee
Union. He says, among other things:
| Arizona is the extreme southwestern
| political division of the United States.
That part of Arizona lying north of the
thirty fourth parallel, embracing only
| four counties. is greater In area than
the six New England States combined.
| The part lying south Of that parallel Is
destined to become the most famously
| productive portion of the glove. With
in that area the date, olive. fig, grape,
| lime. lemon and orange grow under
proper husbandry in prodlgal profuslon.
Ascending from the lower valleys every
| fruit of the temperate zone is prodhr'-d Il
in perfection. Arizona carries witnin
itself mora OF all the resources OF great
commonwealth than any State or other
Territory of our Union"
Mr.. Smith claims a popul 4tion of
over 100000 in the Territory aside from
Indians on reservations and thlrty
millions of taxable property. The debt
of the Territory is S3,000,OOO. IL has
considerably over 600 miles of railroads

asserts, is tne richest mineral country
in America. There is no limit to the

there is plenty.
The school system is described As
