Governor Reynolds Second Opportunity.


For a second time within a COM
paratively short period Governor Rey-
nolds is called upon to fill, by his
appointment, the Office of Chief Justice
Of the superior court of this State.
The duty is one demanding the exer-
else Of the wisest judgment and the
calmest discretion that the governor
can call to his command. 1t is public
duty Of the gravest Importance.
In the appointment of Chief Justice
Robinson, whose untimely death the
whole State sincerely mourns, Governor
Reynolds fully rose to the exigencies of
the occasion, and made selection that
met with tile unqualified approval of
the bench and the bar, and with the
substantial appreciation of all the people
of the State.
If, in the present emergency, the
governor shall act with the same wise
discretion, and exercise the same good
judgment in making selection for this
high judicial position, he will receive,
as freely as he did before, the hearty
endorsement OF his fellow-citizcns.
Fortunately, although small com.
munity, the State of Delaware is rich
in sound and available material from
which to select presiding justice for
the State courts. The governor could
not, except by deliberate purpose, make
serious mistake. The people look to
him, in this emergency, to exercise
with good sense and discretion the ap.
pointing power vested in him by the
constitution, and with confidence
justified by his previous selection, have
every reason to hope for an appoint
ment that shall in all respect measure
up to the grave responsibilities Of the
situation.

There is justice in the request of CITY
Council, that the license law Of the
state be so amended as to provide that
Wilmington "shall receive reasonable
and proper share of the State tax paid
for license to sell Intoxicating liquor
within this city, to be applied to pub
lie school purposes and general ex-
penses, but there isvery little likelihood
OF the Legislature granting the request.
Aew Castle county, ana particularly
the city of Wilmington, pays such a
great proportion Of the States revenues
that to divert any Of this money into
the treasury Of this city or county
might make it necessary for the tax
payers Of Kent and Sussex to 70 down
IN their pockets to some extent in order
TO cover the deficiency in the State
treasury that would thereby be created.
i IS not IN accordance with average
human nature to suppose that the two
lower counties, having the power with
IN their votes in the Legislature, would
deliberately let go of such good thing
as they now possess in a tax system that
raises revenue enough to run the State
government without being the slightest
burden upon their pockets or their
property. 70 ask the Legislature to
divide the liquor license revenue will be
labor wasted, as the experience of pas,
wears has hmplV demonstrated TLoro
may be possibility, however, of Undue.
ing the state to assume the payment Of
the salaries of the two State detectives
which are now uniustly imposed upon
the City Council of Wilmington, while
their services are given almost cxclu
siyely TO the State, and have resulted
according to the report OF the State
treasurer, in very material saving over
the large amounts formerly paid sheriffs,
constablcs and police officers for the SER
vice Of acquisitions in bringing pris.
oners from other states, which work IS
now done by the State detectives, at a
cost to the State Of only the actual tra;.
cling expenses of the detec:.ros while
SO engaged. The amount at stake is not
large, the salaries of the two detectives
being 5000 per year each, but the city
needs every dollar that it can possibly
save, and the injustice of the present
system is so manifest that the Legisla,
turc cannot in reason refuse to correct
it If requested to do SO.

ms son Attempted to Succeed to the
Throne, but "a British General Stepped
in and Declared Hamid as Sultan Under
the British Protectornte.
XANzIBAR, March G.-Alibin Sayyid,
Sutan Of Zanzibar is dead. He was a
brother of the former sultans. khatifa and
liargash, and succeeded him o the throne at
death of the former in February, 1890. He
was born in 1855.
No sooner was it known that the sultan
was dead than his son, kalid, gained nd.
mittance to the place By back entrance,
evidently with intention of claiming the
throne in defiance of British authority.
kalid caused the portals of the palace to be
barred and made preparations to defend
himself III the structure, which, besides
beng the most magnificent residence in
Zanzibar, is also very strongly built for
defence
General Matthews, in the absence of Sir
q. a. Portat. now on his way to Cngandn
as British commissioner to examine the
situation of that country, took prompt
course. Proceeding to the palace with a
strong force Of troops lie demanded that
the gates be opened, or otherwise the pal
ace would be taken by storm. Kalih was
dlsmayed by the resolute attitude of the
British officer, who was supported by the
native authorities generally, and showed
no disposition to challenge conflict.
Many of the natives sympathized with
kalid, on account Of British opposition to
the slave trade and for other reasons, but
did not dare tocome out openly in defiance
TO the British
kalid and those who had acted with
him concluded to yield and the doors of
the palace were thrown open and the
troops admitted. Kalid was then removed
from the palace under a guard. Hamid,
who has been the designated heir to the
throne, and recognized as such by the
British, was proclaimed by the British
authorities as sultan or sayyid, and at once
installed in authority under the British
proteCtorate.
The reign Of the late sultan was very
cventful, he having, in 1880 accepted a
British prntectorate over his dominions
except part on the mainland OF Africa.
which he cedcd to Germany fog I,OOO.OyJ

to eNtingulsh the slave traffic. and also
