WASHINGTON, January ll.-HoUsE
Mr.. Blackburn (Ky.) stated that
some time during the session reso-
luton had been adopted calling on
the postmaster general for information
as, to abuses in the transmission Of
matter through the mails under the
frank of members Of the senate or
house. He understood there was a
voluminous reply in the speakers
hands, and therefore offered the fol.
lowing resolution:
WHEREAS, Charges have been made
that the laws OF the United States
have been violated by sending through
the mails, under franks of members of
the house and senate, not authorized
10 be sent without payment of postage;
therefore
Resolved, That a committee of FIVE
members be appointed by the speaker
to examine into said charges, and all
other abuses that may be brought TO
its attention, connected with the trans
mission of documents, letters, etc.
through the nails
The resolution was adopted, and the
house went into committee on the

CALLING For MORE MONEY.

The school board, as reorganlled
last night, started upon the new year
by the appointment Of a committee to
20 to Nashville and memorialize the
legislature to increase the school tax.
We understand. fu ther that Mr.. Cas-
sells has introduced or will introduce a
bill providing for city school tax Of
forty cents instead of ten cents, the
present rate; half this amount
to be used in building new school
houses. Is it not possible for the
friends Of the city schools to
over-reach themselves? School houses
may be needed in some parts Of the
city but just now the taxpayers are
not able to build them. The houses
we have will answer for several years
to come. tits all-important to pave
three or four principal streets as soon
as possible, to perfect the sewer sys-
tenn and finish up the great sanitary
reforms, so essential to the life and
prosperity of the city. The present
rate of taxation is sufficient, if col
lected and properly applied, to sustain
a very good system of common
schools. Since Mr.. Golfers election
as superintendent, expenses have
been greatly cut down, and there is
no doubt room for further retrench-
ment. The high school, for instance,
might be discontinued. This is no
doubt good school, but it is an un-
necessary tax upon the people. 1t is
a fifth wheel to the system, which
could be dispensed with. We favor
public schools on general principles,
but not for the purposes Of giving
collegiate education. Those who de-
sire to pursue the study Of the higher
branches to fit themselves for the
learned professions should do so at
their own expense. If the board will
use strict economy and good business
management as in private affairs all
leatimate expenses can be met and
the schools kept up to a very fair
standard Of efficiency and usefulness

neoth of Prince Hannibal.

An old negro named Hannibal
Brown. living in cabin near Warren,
ton. Virginia, by himself, was found
dead Fridag night. He had a re-
markable history, being brought to
this country from Africa in 1920. He
always affirmed that his father was a
king. who wore jewels and owned
many men. He was tall and com
mandinO in appearance, and, while
aIways deferential to the white people,
would allow none of his colored
brethren to be familiar with him, and
to the day Of his death required them
to treat him with the respect due to a
prince. His former master received
such convincing proof Of his loyal
birth that he emanoipsted him long
before the war
Prince Hannibal then went to work
as a blacksmith, and made much
money. As fast as he made money he
invested it in slaves, and he was, so far
as known, the only negro man IN the
United States who owned slaves. From
them he required the homage due his
yapk. and no one of them was per-
mii+ed to come in his pEesence with
nncoN.ared head. Another remarkable
fact conn ected with his life was his
devotion to the cause Of the south
during the war, and he lent time and
money to the can.ee, as he believed
firmly in the right to own slaves,
which he said he inhssited from his
native country. He refusea always TO
shoe horses for federal sol diefs. and
whenever they came around he WcuSd
20 to bed and complain of being s@K'
He was a short time during the latter
part of the war imprisoned in the Old
Capitol prison at Washington, as he
was suspected of giving aid and in
formation to the southern soldiers.
As everything he had was Invested
In slaves, the war left him penniless,
and he has since that time managed
to make a meager living at black
smithing; but his old age prevented
him from doing much work. He was
never married, because he could find
no woman of his race who was what he
considered his equal by BIRTH; and he
Vived an isolated life for this reason.
The colored people could not. because
he would not permit them, visit him.
For a week he had not been seen. and
vests, day some gentlemen went to his
small ,,abin and looked through the
window, Prince Hannibal was sitting
hack in the chair, his arms folded, his
head Dropping on his breast-dead.
He had frozen to death, and must
have died a week Sgo.
