AAvvooNNNIMOoRREE.

The leading new manufacturing town on
line of West Penn r. R.. near Pittsburg.
Already nearly 100 houses are up and in
course of erection.
An extensive bottle and prescription ware
company has secured seven acres and will
build works at once.
A large glass house now in full running
order
An excellent machine shop and foundry,
almost completed, and will be in operation
in few days.
A fine brick works, planning mill and lum-
ber yard now on the grounds Also good
hotel, stores and postoffice; public school
and churches secured, natural gas and fire
clay The growth and stability of the town,
and employment for hundreds and thousands
of mechanics and others, is assured beyond
a doubt, by reason of the extensive manu-
featuring plants now located, with others
negotiating for position. Those who have
seen Avonmore pronounce it the gem of
manufacturing towns. The lots are large
and eclipse all other places in lowness of
price. The figures have been kept down to
from $3.50 to $500 lot. These prices now
for choice lots being low, this is the time to
buy to secure the benefit of increase in
value. Purchasers will almost double their
money invested.

, sbipmenH for 1890 and 1886

From this statement it appears that since the
movement Of the new crop began IN July the
shipments have been each month not only larger
than in 1890, but larger than IN 1886, or any
other year OF the last decade. In the four
months, August, September, october ana NO
yember. the exports were over 1,7S6,797 bush
els. -four included against 54,6S4, 716 bushels
in 1886. when the movement was larger than
at any other time during the last decade. More
over. in December the exports have been main
tanned at nearly the same rate, although the
complete official statement has not yet been pup
lished. and for the month OF November In the
above table the figures given include only the
exports frUm the principal ports
1t is in the highest degree important 70 the
county that this movement should not be III
teIrspted this year, "a it 50 often has been III
mast yeals when crops were ample and the Tor
eign demand was large by unwise speculation
and tho maintenance OF artificial prices II the
speculatols get an idea that they can individually
realize large profits by buying and holding
great part of the grain coming to market lOf
some months. it may be expected that they VIII
rush prices above the level maintained in other
counties. and thus make it unproftable for
themselves or for anybody else to export wheat
until natural market il restored. In such cases
it is usually the calculation OF spectators that
the foreign market can be forced to follow the
American lead But in almost every case hlther-
to this expectation has proved mistaken, ana
those who have attempted to control the wheat
markets of the world have ended their operations
with a heavy loss. Some of the boldest and
some of the most skilful operators in the world
have attempted TO control the wheat market and
to force European prices to advance at their
pleasure but in scarcely a single instance has
the operation ended in success. The disasters
of Mr. Keene, of Harper, the president OF Clh-
cinnati bank of Ralston, the president OF
California bank. and of operators in Chicago

her. will stand as warning to spectators that

Succession law continuous and orderly exeiclso
Of The Executive authority is secured in case ol
the removal or disability of both tho Presaden'
and Vice-Pesident: and thus Cne Of the serious
risks which the country had permitted itself, with
irrational cheerfuness tu run for more than
oent,ny has been removed. but there are others
which. though scarcely less grave have attracted
little attention What would E'Ppen, for ex-
ample. if the President elect or the Nice-PresI-
dent-cect, or both of them, should die or become
incapadtated between the meeting OF the Eiecto-
raj Colleges and the 4th Of March The efectOiS
having met in their respective states at inc ap-
pointed time, cast their votes ior the destined
candidates and dispersed, have no longer any
official existence II is doubtfll II they can even
reconyene for the correction OF mere errors, such
a. were held by Mr. Ingalls,, President pro
TEN. of the Senate in 1889, b. iiival1date the
Texas certificate. In case OF the death or IN
capacity of the president-elect within the period
designated, the Vice-President-elect could as
,ume the Presidency on March only through
popular acquiescence, if at all, and n0t by virtue
of any authority conferred by he Constitution.
I'm case both President-elect and V'ce-PresldeTt-
elect should die or be ncapacitated within the
period named the people might likewise consent
to have the Electoral Colleges convene and
make other choices but it is obvious that such
procedure might involve passionate contro-
yersies and ultimately stop the wheels OF gov
ernment.
The country has hitherto treated this posi-
bility as If it were too remote to deserve serious
thought. In reality the death Of President
elect would be no more surprising than tho death
of any other citizen which is eq iva'ent to say
ing that ID is q thing to be expected and provided
against A remedy for the misfmtunes which 1t
would involve can be easily devised. a consh-
tutiona amendment enlargiDg -he powers of the
electors to meet such an emergency is all that
is required. and since no partisan consideration
enters into the question ii is scarcely conceivable
that the States would refuse to latify an amend
ment proposed by Congress to that end 10 re-
ouire new popular election would be to lnl-
pose an intolerable burden of expense and com
motion upon the country and to iniict, more
over, an injustice upOn the party which had just
elected it's candidates. That party would doubt
less wish to hold a National Convention for the
purpose of debating new choice to the electors,
but that would be a simple matter.
During this period OF safety and tranquility

Neglect of the risks involved in cur present de-
fective laws and methods of election has already
discpdited the intelligence of the country, and

FEDERAL ELECTIONS.

In commenting upon that part Of the Presi-
TEN we have hitherto considered certain positive
provisions Of the Constitution and the laws and
their operation. 1t has been shown that after q
prolonged trial Of diycIse methods of appointing
Presidential Electors the States came universally
TO acknowledge the plopIiety and advantage 0i
uniformity and the superiority of the practice oil
choosing them by popular vote On general
ticket in each State, and thereafter maintained
that system for nearly thirty ycaas. We have
seen how, from purely partisan motive, the
Democratic Legislature of Michigan year age
enacted a law providing for the choice of electors
by districts geriymandered for the purpose. in
consequence of which it is expected that some
Of Michigan's electoral votes will be Democratic
in 1892. We have pointed out the possibilities
Of trickery, confusion and violence which are
involved in such "a reversal Of the established
system, fortified and made eflicacious by gerry
mander and have expressed an earnest hope
that Congress will act upon the Presidents patfi-
oic suggestion and enter upon candid dis
cus,ion of the subject In taking leave, for the
present, of this branch of the inquiry we once
more urge orr conviction OF its importance upon
the minds of ollr readers.
We have been considering thus far some OF
the deliberate provisions of the Constitution and
the laws let us now consider briefly some OF
their inadvertencies. Under the Presidential.

So much depends upon the movement OF bread
stufs to market that the exports this year are
watched with unusual interest. Although IL Il
generally known that the shipments have oeeh
much larger than usual, there is perhaps little
appreciation of their real magnitude In order
TO appreciate the extent of the movement 1t Is
necessary to compare the shipments this year hoU
merely with those of last year when the whea'
crop was comparatively short and exports during
great part OF the year we're suppressed oy spec
ulation at Chicago and here, but with the move
ment in previous years when the crop was i'ill
and shipments comparatively unchecked BY spec
ulative influences. The largest movement n-
corded in any year for the last decade was in
1886 and in the following table the exports on
