ARE MADE NOT soRn

Governor Mann has at last perform
ed the MAGNUs OPUS of his official
life. He has appointed q United States
Senator. The FORM of doing this was
gone through with on Monday last,
the ACTUAL appointment was made
the moment the legislature adjourned
its recent session.
That those who do not understand
how these great political problems are
worked, might not be made to blush
for the executive, . reasonable and de-
cent interval was allowed between the
actual death of Senator Daniel. and
the announcement of the gubernato-
rial decree, making Mr.. Swanson his
successor. It would be interesting to
know how many persons were consult
ed by the governor before he took this
important step. We believe they might
be counted on the fingers of one hand,
and leave the thumb out. 1t is differ
emit when we come to the number who
went to see him, and wrote him posi-
bly, on this subject, and no doubt he
has plumber of cards of those who
called to see him to persuade" him to
such course or uphold his hands, and
also an imposing file of letters, on this
subject, from others interested in the
welfare of the State.
These precautions were entirely per-
functory, we opine. They always take
place, however, on such occasions, and
should anything be said touching the
wisdom of the executive act hereafter,
the file will be produced in its ''pon-
derosity" and the objector squelched
under its mass. These are tricks of
the trade. They deceive no one but
the ignorant, but they do stir the risi-
bles of the educated"
That there was any special demand
for the appointment as made, outside
the organization, is not universally
credited. That the Senate of the Uni
ted States will be elevated has, we
think, no unprejudiced believers. That
the State of Virginia will be consumed
with pride is wholly problematical.
That IS per cent. of the people of Vir-
ginia desired the appointments with
out foundation in fact, that Is per
cent. of the masses would, if left to
their own .-volition, have made the
same selection, is open to the gravest
doubt. The people, however, have
submitted to the action of the governor
as people so often do, when powerless
at the time to prevent the acts Of high
officials, hoping that it may not work
in too detrimental way, and under
the impression that in some remote
event, it might have been worse.

SomethG 9 for Heads che

Nothing else, aside from money, is so
universally sought for as a cure for
headache. Headache powders are not
safe and they give only temporary re-
lief in any event. The chocolate-coat-
ed and capsule-shaped pills called
Sherman's Headache Remedy and sold
by druggists and dealers at 10c and Csc
are recommended as the best headache
cure.
