Alleged Journalistic Blackmail-Tem-
perance I'm school.

COLUMBUS O., February 1.-THE sensa-
tion OF the day in the Legislature has been
a matter of alleged blackmail by one of the
Newspaper correspondents. It is stated
that member of the House was black.
mail last winter by a journalist here to the
extent of $500, and that at this session
demand was made for $50 more hush
money, and that the representative sought
the advice OF Governor Foster, whe told
him he ought 10 give the fellow kick
when he next approached him. A petit
tion was presented TO the House by Mr..
Brunner signed by all the known legisla-
tive correspondents, setting forth the ru-
NOR and asking for an investigation with
out expense to the State. The petition was
drawn up and circulated for signatures by
a sensational writer for a sensational Gin
cinnati Democratic sheet. This fact, 1T be.
ing rememb bered, that this Legislature had
been before
LibeIed without Cause,
as investigation had proved, and the fact
that the charge was referred TO very lndeh-
nitely, no names being mentioned, caused
the Republican of the House to look upon
the document with great suspicion. After
half an hours discussion the petition was
referred TO the Committee on Federal Re-
lations, with what relevancy il is hard to
see. Mr.. Conrad stated from his seat that
during the discussion he had seen Gov
erner Foster and he had told him that if he
we're put under oath he could not say that he
himself knew anything OF the alleged facts.
Later in the day the Governor told mem-
Der of the committee that he had vague
recollection of some such charge being
made against a correspondent. Senator
White SAYS he has had talk with the Gov
ernor about the matter. So did Senator
Bringbam, il is said, but he is not in town.
temperance as q school study.
Ever since the Legislature has been in
session, temperance ladies have been urg-
ing upon the lawmakers to pass bill in
troduced by Mr.. Hall, making the physio-
logical effects of alcohol a study in the pub
lie schools, and numerous petitions have
been presented in its favor. To day Jones,
of Delaware, asked for an opinion from
School Commissioner DeWolf upon the ad-
Instability of such a study. The Commits
sioner has answered this question in his
forthcoming report with favorable recon-
mendation in general terms. The following
is an extract:
"Men who are opposed to so-called sump-
tuary laws and dOgmat:c instruction In
schools, still desire that their youth shall
crow up well informed on what pertains to
their interests, strong, pure, temperate.
promoters of good and evil; if there are ex'
ceptions to this rule among parents. all the
more is the State, society and each indlvid,

influences. Should the schools ever he

character, and to inspire those sentiments
which excite to high and pure endeavor
after worthy and useful position among
