Mr.. WHITAKER MAKES A DISPLAY.

Mr.. WHITAKER ragged and cursed and
grew red in the face last night in an as
tonishing personal, vituperative and
profane attack upon the REGISTER and
members OF the Democratic party. His
unmanly outburst of petty spite, his
childish loss Of temper and total dis
regard of the ordinary deceRcies bring
out totally new side of Mr.. N. E. WHIT
AKER's character and present reason
not before suspected, to be added to the
many contained 10 his legislative re-
cord, showing that he is not fit man
to represent his fellow citizens in any
capacity.
Mr.. WHITAKER is at liberty to ex-
plain, il he can, his record in black and
white presented in these columns from
the Journals Of the Legislature, and he
might have attempted to do so
last night calmly and deeently; he
is not at liberty 10 make with
impugnity reckless, nncalled-fOr, in
decent, and vilely personal as
saults upon the REGISTER, upon
prominent and respected members Of
the Democratic party, and even
his Democratic opponent, gentlemen
we'll known aud respectfully men OF all
parties, for his high sense Of honor, his
integrity, and above all, for bis posses
sion, in marked degree of those man
~, delicate and generous instincts, in
which Mr.. WHITAKER seems to be
much lacking.
Mr.. WHITAKER is not Car in this
community that mis- public record should
bs held TO be above criticism or even
reproduction, or that those Of his neigh
bors who disagree with him are TO be
disposed of as damned, disreptuable
solutions and rascals," or the newspaper
which presents to the voters his public
record replied TO as ga damned mallg-
nant, lying, dirty sheet"
II Mr.. WHITAKER deems this inde-
cent personal abuse argument, We leave
lItm N uuuISputed possess g hO-
nopoly of that peculiar style, referring
his efforts in that line and his record of
betrayal Of this community and the
working people to the impartial verdict
of the decent voters Of the district.

VIII Get Alter Two Tru,ts.

New YORK, October ga wall
street news agency, alluding to the
newly organized Great White Spirit
Company of New Jersey, says that the
corporation is likely to become rival
of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany sugar trust, as well as the
whisky trust. The plan Is TO ADOPT the
German and French method OF rehniLV
sugar and making splits In practically
the same plant. The sugar Is renned
from beet Juice and the spirits are made
from the syrups and refuse. This
country has already exported some TO-
600 tons OF syrups to be put through
this process. II is alleged 10 be the
purpose OF the new concern to reverse
that condition and import sprups from
Europe in tank steamers.

Mr.. N E. whitaker. who cast one of
the four lone votes 10 the Senate against
the abolition OF the infamous "pluck-
me" store in this State, after having
failed to have adopted amendments
that would have rendered the law in
operative by permitting employers to
continue the "puck-me" store order
system where the men were willing. :"
which Of course would mean that only
those who were willing" to BE thus
robbed would be employed. And this
same Mr.. WHITAKER is now asking for
labor's votes.

TIE sooM IN TIE GLASS TRADE


In another column will be found a
very interesting, instructive and i'm
portant article from the Pittsburg Com
mOner and GldSSlOOrker, one Of the most
reliable and prominent trade papers In
the country, telling Of the present boom
in the glass trade. All the manufac-
turers have all the orders they can fill
under generally satisfactory conditions,
with the best prospects ahead. Addi-
tional furnaces have been started, and
those before in operation are run on
double turn, while entirely new
concerns are to be put in operation as
soon as possible. In short the glass
trade was never in more prosperous
and altogether hourishing condition
than it is at present.
In this connection the REGISTER
feels called upon TO ex.
press once more the greatest
regret that the effort to buy out the
trust which closed down our glass fac
tories a year ago, and failing in that, to
establish new flint glass factories In
this city for the turning out Of table
ware, was not Successful, as, had it
been, these proposed additions to
Weddings home industries would
now be enjoying share of this gen
eral prosperity.

protesting that that party's managers
are making no effort to derive

confined TO this city and county, but
Republican emissaries are being sent

Not only is this being done openly,

took place yesterday, in the rotunda Of

THE oPLUoK.mE" STORE SYSTEM.

THE PLUCK ME" STORE SYSTEM
Mr.. WHITAKER voted against the bill
to abolish the company store order, or
"pluck-me" store system in West Vir-
Qinla. Over in Republican high tariff
Pennsylvania the miners are Just
now battling to have this system Of rob-
berry of labor done away with in that
State, and an exchange presents an
interesting object lesson OF
the state Of affairs shown up in this
fight of labor to do away with the infa-
nous system which Mr.. n. E. WHIrA-
Kerr defended by his vote in this State.
The "pluck-me" store method OF
leecing labor Of a part Of its hard
earnings is TOO profitable and too tempt
ing to be abandoned for mere moral cen
slderations. Nothing, 1T appears, will re-
lieve the miners and other workingmen
inPennsylvaniai from the degrading serV-
itude Of this system but by making
those who practice it feel the sharpest
spikes Of the law.
In some well-known instances dealers
have opened stores at the mines and on
agreements to pay the operators a GER
tain percentage of the gross sales to
the miners on orders. This percentage,
every dollar of it, comes out Of the
earnings Of the ill-paid miners. tits an
indirect and covert but no less certain
process of reducing the miners wages.
The goods sold TO them on store orders
are marked high enough TO cover the
percentage to the operator and leave
the usual rate Of profit to the dealer.
In certain town in the interior Of
Pennsylvania, a firm employed a great
many workingmen; but the number
was not considered sufficient TO justify
the establishment OF store in con
nection with the business. But in the
same town is large rolling mill,
operated by company and equipped
with an extensive store for paying its
hands in goods. The firm in question,
instead Of paying its men in cash, gave
them orders on the cOmpany's store,
and on settlement a reduction Of 10 pei
cent. was made on the gross amount OF
the orders. The worthy members oil
l the firm put this sum into their pockets,
But it is probable that they quieted any
TEN porary quslms Of conscience thai
might have arisen with the phian
thropic plea that the men, II paid il
cash instead OF store orders, would have
wasted a part of tn cir earnings!
The 'pluck-me" store order system il
a Estate issue" to be brought TO con
clusion in the State Legislature o
Pennsylvauia. But experience hat
taught the workingmen Of Psnnsylvani;
that this conclusion will never be reach
ed so long as the Legislature shall re
main under is present Republican con
troll. We can only forlornly hope tina

SOME OF the people over iu Pennsyl
vania who do not hesitate 70 roo labor
OF a part Of its earnings by the pluck
me" store order system, are very much
afraid that the new tariff will compel
them 70 reduce the rates Of wages. But
they may give themselves no anxiety
on that score. They will soon be under
the pleasing compulsiOu Of raising
wages and yielding TO labor a larger
share Of the profits Of production. This

In New York the claims OF the rival
parties regarding the State ticket may
be summarized as follows: The Demo-
Gratis claim that Hill will have so, 600
below Harlem river, and concede Nor
ton 10000 above that stream. The Re-
publicans claim 20, 600 for Morton above
the river, and only allow Hill 40, 600 In
the cities. The probabilities are that
Hill will have 65, 900 in the cities and
that Morton will come TO the river with
not over $4,000.

To Washington altar a tnnr Of nhsarys;
from what be has seen himself ana
from what was told him by well posted
Democrats, be has every reason to be-
lieve that the party will hold It's own
in the coming Congressional elections.
He regards eight districts in Pennsyl-
vania As certain for the Democrats, and
as to West Virginia be says that where
as a month ago, three of the four dis
tricts were regarded as being at least
doubtful, he now feels assured that
four Democratic candidates will be re-
turned. He speaks with especial csnil-
dence Of the election of Hoo-GShn A.
Howard. In Louisiana, where tue re
volt" OF the sugar planters was held,
some weeks ago, TO imperil several
districts, he says the movement has a.
most entirely lost It's force, and that at
the most but one district is In any dan
ger. The other Southern States Will

Eighth districts very close, the Demo

election as basis. The Republicans
are working the A. p. A. auxiliary in
these districts, but the introduction OF
