Up-to-Date Trimmings,

Nothing in the seasons modes of
decoration impresses one more than
the variety in embroidery, The new
est caprice, according to the Delinea-
tor. is wool embroidery mixed with
silk. The blending Of colors which
can be produced with wool, chenille
and silk is delightful, and one of the
special arts in applying it is the use
of thin material like chiffon for the
foundation. Tulle gowns are adorned
with this seemingly heavy and inoon-
gruous embroidery, and gray tulle
with white wool in which are inter
spersed medallions of white panne is
one of the prettiest modes of the sea-
son. Buttons form an important item
in the trimming Of both wraps
and gowns. Buttons covered with silk
velvet and lace, both plain and en-
broidered, are the smartest of these
ornamental and sometimes useful de-
vices.

!: THE SUN.
w. M. LAFFAN.

The name Of Mr.. Laffan appeared for
the first time In this position yesterday
morning and caused great comment In
Newspaper circles. No announcement
was made Of the change and nothing has
yet been said a. to why, how or for what
specific reason the new, name appeared
In its place as the responsible editor,
owner and pablisher OF the paper.
Inquiries spread no light on the matter
interested have been given the same
answer: There is nothing to be said
about It,"
At the once Of The Sun tonight the
correspondent Of The Record-Herald was
told that the. only person who was In
position to discuss the matter was Mr..
La1an. and no one knew where he was.
At his home the same statements have
been made, with the addition that other
inquirers had been told the same thing.
and that Mr.. Laffan had no statement
why his name should suddenly appear at
the head Of the editorial page Of Tue
Sun, without the editorial announcement
that usually accompanies such radical
movement
Ever since the death of Charles A. Da-
ma. the famous editor Of The Sun, the
paper, 1t has been understood. has been
In charge Of his son, Paul A. Dana. He
has exercised all the functions attend
ant on ownership. and has been the sub
ject Of several attacks as owner Of the
paper.
In the newspaper world he has been
considered the owner and publisher of
The Sun, and the surprise that came with
the apparent declaration that The Sun
had passed from his control was great.
Especially was this the case when 1t

TO A CoNTEMPoRARY.

The Weekly Enterprise wants to know
what The Advertiser wants. and thus
goes about finding out:
We have beerf waiting and watching Tor
some one to call the old lady to the stand
Week before last she declared that Jones
could not dictate platform for the par
ty, neither could Hill. and also stated
emphatically that any party going before
the people with a platform, proposing
to disturb the present financial system of
the Government would be doomed to de-
feat. Now we rise to ask Grandma this
question. Was the establishment of the
gold standard In the United States a Re-
publican or a Democratic victory?
Replying to the last question first, The
Advertiser considers that the gold stand
ard was established by the Republicans,
but was a Democratic victory, That is.
while the Republicans may be entitled
to the credit OF legalizing the present
money standard, it was really a triumph
OF genuine Democratic principles. Not
the Democracy of Mr.. Bryan. 1t is true,
but what We consider the better Democ-
lisle and all others who are for sound
money. As to that matter. 1t matters
not whose was the victory. 1t Is now
the financial system of the country. is
working we'll and cannot safely be dis
turbed.
The Advertiser did say and sticks to 1t,
that Senator Jones cannot dictate
platform upon which Democrats either
could or would succeed unless he has
very materially changed his financial
opinions. Nor do we believe. that the
platform suggested by Mr.. Hill, without
any reference to the money question,
would offer any hope of success. And we
want to say few words of truth and
soberness to our contemporary. for it is
intelligent and We believe it wants to see
both Democratic success and prosper
Gus country. Now. whatever divergent
views Democrats may have on the fnan-
cial question there is one fact fully estab-

An Insult to South Carolina.

Charleston News and Courier.
Senator Tillman's apology" to the
Senate on Saturday for his disgraceful
conduct was even worse than his offence
against all decency and good order. His
Pea that II had never had any Iegisla-
tive experience when I came here and
my previous service as Governor Of South
Carolina for four years had untitled me
in q measure 20 enter this august as
sembly with that dignity and regard,
proper regard / will say. for its tradi-
lions and habits and rules that is desira-
BILE" was a reflection upon the traditions
and habits and rules of the people Of
this State. There is nothing in the Of
fee of Governor of South Carolina to en-
courage the manners of the prize ring
and we hope the better sentiment of the
country will acauit the people Of this
State of any sympathy with the brutal
exhibition made by the senior Senator
from South Carolina and his colleague on
Saturday. The State cannot escape res
possibility. Of course, for the miserable
affair. but it can at least express sincere
regret that 1t should have been so dis
graced by Its representatives and hope
that the rest Of the world will pity If it
cannot forgive.
We do not think II necessary to comment
at length upon the events which resulted
in the outrageous assault in the Senate
on Saturday. Senator Tiiiman cannot
say that he was goaded by Senator
Spooner into making an accusation
against his colleageu, which he admit
ted In the course Of debate, that he could
not prove. and he cannot defend his as
sauit upon McLaurin on the ground that
McLaurin called him a liar. Respect for
his office. for the place. for the good
cause he had espoused and ordinary re-
I'd hirnaa1f ahnnld haIyo NJ cd
him from actual resort to personal
violence. Had he knocked McLaurin
down. that would not have proved that
McLaurin's charge of falsehood aaginst
him was untrue; and IL he felt that Nc
Laurin's insult was so gross that IT could
only be wiped out by a personal en-
counter 1t would have been more dig
nifed had he sought satisfaction for the
affront after the Senate had adjourned.
II he meant anything more by his attack
upon McLaurin than to show that he was
not afraid to hit him, 1t is not too late
for him to renew the controversy out
side Of the Senate; and II McLaurin's
apology" which was nearly as bad as
his offence. was sincere. there might not
be much difficulty in bringing the belliger-
ents together.
The conduct of Senator McLaurin was
utterly without excuse. His language in
the Senate was an insult to that body
end disgraceful to himself. He must
have known that it would make a sen
ssticn" at least. If it did not result N
a resort to violence; and common respect
for himself. for the State and for the
Senate should have Influenced him not to
give occasion of offence. 1t would be bet
tire for the State and for public decency If
the country could he spared the humiiia-
tion of being represented by men who
cannot control themselves.
No punishment that the Senate could
infiict upon the South Carolina Senators
would be too severe for their outrageous
conduct.
