1tappears from our Topeka dispatches that
tho picturesque JERRY s1MrsoN Of sockless
fame refuses to do anything to promote his
election to the Senate as the successor Of
Senator INGALLS,. Other asprants for the place
are securing pledges. laying pipes, pulling
wires. and demonstrating their availability.
but JERRY stands at one side In bucolic dignity
awaiting the judgment Of the Legislature on
joint ballot. Perhaps this is an illustration Of
his shrew dness. and perhaps It will strengthen
him with the Farmers Alliance, which has de-
nounced the intrigues OF politicians. We are
not surprised to learn that the prospect OF his
election has grown brighter since the opening
OF the Legislature on Tuesday. II Senator
INGALLS, is to be defeated as the Republican
candidate for the Senate. JERRY S1MpsoN is the
man who ought to be elected as bis successor.
His salary as Senator would enable him to
buy and wear new pair Of socks every day.
The project Of establishing a new steam
ship line to run between the Georgia port Of
Brunswick and Liverpool is attractive. It is
an American project and its promoters arc on
terprising GeorRians, who do not need to ask
any subsidy from the Federal Government
Moreover the steamships ofthis new American
line should sail the high seas under the Ameri-
can flag. and should be built in American
yards and foundries. Of American steel and
iron. by Americas mechanics. They can be
built in Southern or in Northern shipyards.
Mr.. STANLEY has sent letter to the Pres
ident Of negro organization In San Francisco
about the emigration Of American negroes to
Africa He says that the great forest tract Of
Central Africa would be an Ideal region" for
negro colonization; that this region is Of vast
extent and that settlements could be built up
there through organizations formed in this
country.
We have no doubt Of tho accuracy Of tho ex-
plorers statements about the attractions OF the
African forest regions; but we see 70 reason to
believe that any number Of American negroes
can be drawn there Our colored people have
lived here for generations; they have learned
here the advantages Of civilization; they have
acquired here the habits OF orderly Industry:
they enjoy freedom: they live on peaceful
terms with their white fellow citizens: they arc
making good progress in prosperity. and they
like the land OF their nativity. We doubt
whether ten Thousand Of them could bs IN
duced to 60 to the African forest regions. oven

promise OF forty hcres and mule" when
they got there. Tho colored people arc here to

THE New York Sun advocated Hill for

much as 1t hated Cleveland more This
Is an old personal grudge Of the Suns
editor, as unworthy of Mr. Dana as 1t is
harmless TO Mr. Cleveland. The Sun
advocated Ben Butler in 1880 in such a
manner as to show that the Sun had no
discretion, no judgment and no discrim-
ination. The fact that paper could
advocate Ben Butler for anything. except
as a candidate for a penitentiary or an
insane asylum, Is sufficient to dis
credit it politically and morally,
The Sun has won the distinction OF being
the most brilliant but the crankiest
newspaper in New York. Nobody cares
particularly about Cleveland. He is biz
enough, old enough aud eminent enough
to take care of himself but 1t tends to
make friends for him and to advance his
nomination for the Presidency for the
Sun TO continue the attacks that border
On insanity and which certainly indicate
hysteria. The Sun long ago ceased 10

effect from that which the editor Of the
