THE OMAHA KIDNAPPING CASE.

From the Cincinnati Star.
 Has not malign precedent been set by father of the boy, Edward Cudahy, in pay ing ransom to the alleged kidnappers of the youth?
 Why now should not this infant indus try" be developed and worked for all it is worth by the malefactor who has sufficient nerve, now that he sees before him gold en reward for his wickedness?
 Was there not undue haste on the part of the father in coming at once to the kid nappers' terms?
 Are there not also suspicious circum- stances attendant upon and preceding the alleged kidnapping?
 The press dispatches report that the kid mapped youth was a devourer of the f1ashy cheap novel that has so oftef-stimulated to foolish deeds the mind of the boy who reads it.
 Is there not now before the police force of Omaha a task that must be worked out thoroughly and the whole truth of the all legged Kidnapping of Tuesday night laid bare?

The Eccentric Voto.

Barker poled in this State 3797 votes and Woolley 1407 No other votes were cast ex- eept for the two leading candidates. More votes were cast for Woolley in this State than were given him in Georgia, He got none in Mississippi, or in South Carolina. Ills largest southern vote was cast in Ten nessee, 390O. The total Woolley vote was POT, ,36s Pennsylvania heads the list of prohi- bition eccentrics with 27 ,9OS; New York com ing next with 22,043, Illinois next with IT, 626. Indiana follows with 1S,71s. and Mic1li- gan with Il 1859. Ohio and Wisconsin each gave him about 10000, and the other states fall readily into the scattering" column.
 Rarker's vote was only 5O,1SS all told, and he got nearly half of it in Texas. That State gave him 2O,9S1, and no other State gave him 5000 votes. Wyoming cast for him two complimentary votes. He comes out of the ballot boxes the verse for wear except in Texas.
 The Debs vote ran up to 9l,522, and it was pretty evenly divided, coming from all
  s69 votes; Massachusetts 9716. Illinois 96S7, California 7572, Wisconsin 7095, and Missiu- ri 612S. The Debs vote in Texas was 1S46, and in Tennessee 40. In the other southern states Debs electoral tickets were not pre- scented.
 The Maloney, social labor, vote was S3,- $50. Nearly one-half of this vote was cast in New York, and none of it in the south, with the exception of 162 votes in Texas
 The Woolley vote is a rising quantity, standing at POT, ,s6s against 19O,75S votes in 1896. The mddlc-of-the-roaders are almost lost party. The Debs vote is new ele- ment, with which nothing of 1896 can be compared. The Socialist Labor vote is at a standstiD, being S4,0O7 this year and SS.545 in 1s9G

BOSTON IN.THE CUP RACE.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The announcement that Boston will be represented in the trial races for the honor of defending the America cup against Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht has created some thing like a panic in the New York Yacht Club. At first there was most decided oppo- sition manifested among the members to any contestant not sailing under the aus- pices of that club, and 1t was argued it was not according to the regulations in any event. as the prospective owner of the new contestant is not member of the club. The liberal spirit of some of the members, how ever as well as sharp protests made in the press, has silenced the remontrants, and there will be no further opposition made to the boat now building by CrowninshieId for Lawson. Most unquestionably fear has had much to do with this opposition. The New England coast from Eastport to Cape Cod sx.arms with yachts-a hundred to one that sails in New York bay. In the New England seacoast towns there are not only a large number of professional yatchtmen, but all most every man, woman, boy and girl Is more or less expert in the fine points of sailing. The whole atmosphere of that coast is one Of yachting, and every day in the season, fair or foul, it's waters are coy- cred with the wGritc- winged flyers. The New Workers, therefore, have every reason to fear Boston, much more, in fact, than they have to fear Lipton.

Constitutional Convention Delegates.

The hour has come for the selection of delegates to the constitutional convention, and the friends of public education should be up and doing They should see that no man who is not known friend of public education is elected to the convention. They should know how each candidate stands or that question, and man whose acts support his words Is surely the better and safer choice. There is no difficulty in aseertaining the real sentiment of a candi- date on public education if the voters really desire to know 1t.
 Much remains to be done in the direction of public education in this State. In very truth, a start has not been made, for out schools in the State. Alabama is perhaps the only State in the Union that is with out free schools.
 The school system of this State is a curi- ous system, whereby state aid is extended to those best able to pay. The sensitive child of the self-respeeting poor is shut out The pay school simply masquerades as free public school, thereby insulting those that most need public education and that should have it.
 In order to meet the case and prepare the wisest remedy only friends of public edu- cation should be selected as delegates to the convention As the schools are at present conducted illteracy will never be reduced in the State while the sun shines. The pay" school is vicious insulting to the very poor, a clog to progress, a wrong to those whose money is taken in poll taxes on the pretense of furnishing free educa- tion See that no supporter or advocate of the pay school system is sent to the convention.

time and money by public authorities can
 The moral effect of the success and es- cape of the villains in such a case would be most disastrous. Well to do parents all over the country have reason to fear a similar outrage if the Omaha kidnappers are not brought to justice. The crime of kidnapping a child is one of the most fiend- ish known to modern society, and no effort should be spared to stamp it out. The ap- parent ease with which the eonspirators se- cured their money from MT Cudahy will tempt others to try the same methods, and kidnapping may become more popular among criminals than house-breaking or train-robbing.
 If proper methods are pursued 1t should not be impossible to catch these villains, no matter how thoroughly they have cov- cred up their tracks. The boy saw two of the gang when they seized and blfndfolded identify them. There was evidently a con- siderable number of the consprators and a large reward may bring out evidence against one or more of them. The man and woman in the recent kidnapping case in New York were brought to justice, and so was the abductor of the Lapiner hoy in Chicago. The Cudahy case is more difficult. because the boy has been returned, and there seenrs to be no clew. but the search for the criminal should be none the less de- -termined and unremitting.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 It is matter of vital importance that every possible effort be made to bring to justice the misecreants who kidnapped the 15-year-old son of Edward A. Cudahy, the Omaha pork packer, and who secured s25,- 900 by their crime. Any parent in MT Cud- ahy's situation would naturally yield to the demands of the kidnappers and pay over the money to save the life of his child. but now that the boy is recovered he ought to spare no wealth or effort in running down and punfshing the criminals The plot was con cefved and executed with great ingenuity but this should be all the greater reason for relentless crusade against the perpe- trators.
