He wants the board to recognize the new law to the extent of paying him $1 800 a year salary for 1895 and 1896, which is the amount he would have received had Graham county remained a second class county during his term, under the old classification act.

It is stated on good authority that the Granger Nineteenth" actually re- pealed the law punishing the crime of murder. The people of Arizona have clamored for legislature without a lawyer in it, so that honest laws could be passed. Well, they got it when they elected the Nineteenth. We haven't much use for lawyers generally, but be- lieve that it would be wise hereafter to either elect few to the legislature or retain them to draw the bills for the legislature to pass. There is just as much sense in putting a farmer to mak- ing laws without the assistance of 6 lawyer as there is in putting lawyer to making hay without the assistance of farmer-Graham Guardian.

terror one Of the most beautiful of any
building in the City. Around the first
floor or lower rotunda runs a polished
wainscoting OF travertine marble thirteen
feet high. The 5000 feet of this traver-
tine marble was euarried in M ono County
and cost in the neighborhood of SIG, 900.
The steps and flooring of all line galle-
ries and platforms ar laid in white-veined
marble quarried in Amador County. The
wainscoting in the second gallery, FIVE
and q half feet high, is of beautiful
green shade. Above the great dome.
which is composed entirely OF ornamental
art glass, is an immense lantern, from
which many electric lights will iilumine
the rotunda below.
Work on the dome just completed was
begun less than two wears ago. A num-
ber of designs were offered at the time,
and the one accep pied has been known as
the "Ellert design" it being the favorite
of the then acting Mayor of the City, who
was an ex-officio mem Der of the New City
Hall Com mission. During the terms of
his successors, Mayors Suiro and Phelan,
the plans have been carried into effect and
the statue of the goddess added to the
original design. The present com mission
consists OF Mayor Phelan, Auditor Brode-
rick and City and County Attorney Cres-
well. S. II. Beckett is the acting secre-
tary of the commission. Com issioners
Broderick and Creswell have been men,
bers of the board ever since work on the
dome was begun. and the latter, Attorney
Creswell, has taken an especial pride in
the building, clim bing almost daily among
the beams and girders to superintend the
work in its various sta of progress

TO LIGHT THE LAMPS.
The Elegant Bronze Columns About
the City Hall to Be Put
Into Use

The handsome bronze lamps which
stand as so many sentinels surrounding
the new City Hall and which were placed
there at cost of $500 each and which have
been chiefly devoted to accumulaiing dirt
for many years, may some OF these days
be lighted up. At meeting of the City
Hall Com mission yesterday Commissioner
Broderick made the suggestion that the
electric lights be substituted by gas
through the means of these lamps for
illuminating the outside of the hall, and
the matter will probably be put to the test.
A resolution was offered by Com mis-
sioner Creswell providing that the electric
light and telephone wires leading into the
building be buried within two weeks, the
corporations interested being given notice
that any left above ground after that time
will be cut down.
Excellent progress was reported as be-
ing made on the City Hall roof.

NOW COMPLETE

City Hall.
The Whole Structure to Be
Completed in About
Five Months.
The Great Dome Just Finished the
Tallest on the Western
Continent.

The New City Hall dome is completed.
The finishing touches were put on vester-
day and tomorrow afternoon the con-
tractors will have a little celebration in
honor of the event. A programme for ex-
ercises in the evening has also been ar
ranged and band-platform has been
erected in the rotunda.
With the completion of the dome, the
work on the once new City Hall draws
near to close. 1t is almost a quarter of
century since work on it was commen need,
and all that remains now is to complete
the roof of the hall. When this is done
the new City Hall will be turned over to
the Supervisors. The New City Hall Com
mission will pass serenely out of exist
ence, labor unions will cease to petition,
disconnected City officials will cease to
grum ble-then, indeed, will the wicked
cease 10 trouble and the weary be at rest
The Commissioners formally accepted
the dome of the contractors week ago
Friday, but the last few finishing touches
were not put on until yesterday. The
grand rotunda can now be seen in all its
glory, and the visiting Christian Endeav-
orers will have to put on their programme
of local attractions in addition to such
sights as our world famous Chinatown
and Golden Gate Park, 1.-The tallest dome

domes i'll the world higher than this are
St. Peters at Rom 430 feet high, and ST.

are towers and monuments on this conti-
nent that are higher. The Philadelphia
City Hall tower is 531 feet and the WASH

the tip of the lightless torch which she

TN ONE CASE
TWO DECISIONS
The Supreme Court Yester-
day Handed Down a
Dual Judgment.
Granting a Motion and Rebuking
an Attorney in One
Breath.
Reasons for Disqualifying a Court
Should Not Be Indelicate
Criticism.

1t is seldom that tho Supreme Court,
whose usual course along the we'll marked
lines of the question at issue is as lmmu-
table as the orbit of planet and whose
inattention to matters extrapeous is aptly
typifed by the bandage over the eyes OF
Justice herself, hands down from its au-
gust tribunal double judgment. This
exception may be noted in decision rem
dered yesterday in the case of San Diego
water company which had applied for a
change of venue in its suit against the
city of San Diego. The corporation had
appealed from an order overruling its mo-
ton for the change, the motion being
based on the ground that the trial Judge
was a taxpayer OF the city, and conse-
quently disqualified.
The appellant filed brief containing
matter which respondent contended was
scandaious and impertinent, and the lat
ter made motion to strike the brief from
the files. The matter objected to was a
statement by appellants attorney couched
In exceedingly plain and vigorous terms
that the Judge was not only disuualitieI
but iJ was injustice to hims If 10 try to
decide the case. And not only unjust to
appellant, but indelicate on his part to
insist.
"It is an unpleasant task" runs the
brief, for an attorney to take the posi-
tion that judge has violated the doctrine
so jealously guarded by law that no man
shall sit in Judgment on his own case.
This is usually taken by judse as a per-
sonal reflection on himself and it is Sc
rious reflection when the Judge has know.
ingly and willfully asserted his right TO
sit in the case.''
The Supreme Court in its decision treats
the dual question OF qualification and in
sinuation In terms as plain as those used
by appellant.
With every disposition to put the most
favorable consideration on the language of
counsel Ut says) we cannot avoid the con-
cluslon that he has In this instance over
stepped the bounds of legi timate argument
and criticism. Counsel has no right to sue-
gest that there are matters outside of the
record which would show that the Judge of
the Super; or Court has been guilty of gross
lmproprlety In scting upon this view that he
was not legally qualified to try the cause. The
only question to be decided on the appeal Is
the question clearly presented by the record
whether tax and water payer OF the city of
San Diego can ast as Judge in this trial of the
controversy.
