CHIEF JUSTICE lDE.
He Will Preside Over the Highest Court
of the Samoan Islands.

He viii Preside Over the Highest Court
of the Samoan Islands.
Henry c. Ide, who has just been ap-
pointed chief justice of Samoa by Pres
ident Cleveland with the approval of
the other members of the Samoan pro-
tectorate, is a native of Vermont and
his home at present is in St. Johnsbury
in that state. He is recognized as one
of the leading lawyers of Vermont. In
1891 he was appointed commissioner on
behalf of the United States to act with
commissioners from England and Ger
many to settle the land troubles in
Samoa. Upon his arrival there he was
chosen chairman of the commission.
and rendered valuable service there
for over a year. His appointment as
chief justice of Samoa came primarily
from the German government. It was
then sent to the British government
for approval and finally to the United
States government. The German gov
eminent was pleased with Mr.. Ides
previous labors in Samoa and recog-
nized his work in this way. The office
of the chief justice is the highest in
Samoa and the salary is $4,000 a year.
The chief justice is the highest court
of the island, decides all cases brought
before him, and his decision is final.
The present occupant of the bench is a
Swede, who was appointed by the king
of Sweden, because the three powers,
Germany, England and. the United
States, could not agree upon man. The
present chief justice has given very
poor satisfaction and has been re-
moved from office, his removal to take
effect when the new chief justice
arrives. Had Mr.. Ide declined the ap-
pointment it would have undoubtedly
been rendered to an Englishman. 1t
is of vital Importance to the interests
of the United States in the South sea
that the office of chief justice of
Samoa should be held by an American,
Mr.. Ide is eminently fitted to serve in
this capacity, as he is familiar with the
present state of affairs in Samoa.
