From Storms nnd Signs: This month the planets are all on one side of the earth, nnd In order thnt thousands may see how strikingly odd they appear we have made arange lnents to give away live thousand of the planetary charts and Storm and Sign calendars (absolutely free ) to the first five thousand addresses sent us. Saturn, Uranus, Venus and Mercury are nil found in the same "house" (house of friends. In Sign Scorpio, the most malignant sign on the Zodiac Circle. And. nil of them oposed to old mother earth, who would receive the greatest punishment she ever received was It not for old red warrior Mars coming to her assistance. He will de fend her and show those great plnnets what he can do when he sets out to befriend and defend a sister planet. So we muy look for several brilliant meteoric displays this month and many strange phenomenns, with some awe-inspiring sunset scenes. Several 'sun-dogs" will appear In the heavens nnd some unusual electrical displays. Northern flash lights will light up Heaven's hl(jh dome and rainbows will be seen at midnight In some places. Showers of insects and small reptiles muy fall about the great lakes and on thu coast of the ocean. The planets are In the same position this month as they were twenty-seven years before the deluge. The great battle between the planets this month will occur in the early part of the month, ami. tin attempt will bo made by earth's op ponents to force another Maul save upon the Atluntlc coast some time be tween the 5th and 15th. November will prove a very peculiar month. For while some sections are having sunshine and summerlike weather other sections will have nothing but rain, hail, snow, slush, Hoods, high wiiiihi, etc. The regular, reactionary and local disturb ance periods are all marked on our Storm and Sign Calendar, which will be sent free to any address. The gaseous matter passing over the sun shows no sign of a break this month, but on or about the Oth nnd 25th of next month we shall bn obliged to hoist our hurricane signals ngain! Last month we put out the hurricane signal fifteen days In advance of the Weather Rureau's, as a warning of the np proaehlng tidal wave. Thunder show ers will appear In some localities and produce green lightning. Karth Is now passing through the house of sickness, let every one who reads this keep their eyes on the "low ebb" vital force dates, as marked on our Storm and Sign Cal endar. Old Red Warrior Mars will defend old mother earth this month and keep her from being too severely punished. And, then, will turn upon her next month and give her greater punishment than she would have re ceived from her Scorpio enemies. Oh, the planets act so human-like! So much like deceitful men. Friends to day, and enemies to-morrow. Let ev ery mnn, woman and child, who has any religious faith In their souls, go to work In dead earnest and help to keep back thP awful dendly Influences that earth will have to encounter dur ing the next three months. The vltul forces will make two desperate plunges this month, on the 11th and 23d Inst. They will fall from "hlah flood" again In twenty-four hours' time: therefore, let those troubled with heart disease, and in poor health, be on their guard and not over exert themselves! The "high Hood" dates this month nre the 6th, 7th, Rth, Oth, 10th, 12th. 1"th. liih. 15th, 16th. 17th, 21st. 22d, 24th. 2,5th and 26th, which shows a big business boom for this month and next. Good times have come ngain! Let us all be nierrv! PROF. C. COLKS, Editor Storms and Signs. Kingston, Pa V. A A., Oct. 23, ISilC, NO Fr.E3 T?.Ali ' in Other Republics From the Philadelphia Times. Mr. McKInley or Mr. Bryan, -whichever our next chief executive muy be. will count as only one out of more than twenty-five presidents of republics in this world. Considering the greatness of his country and the oitk-.al ceremony and hospitality expected of him, he will doubtless be the poorest paid of all thess executives. If this were France istead of the United States, Mr. Uryun woUid be ineligible to the iiir-vhest (illice. on ac count of his youth. Hi sides bcinc a native-born Frenchman, the president of K,ian.e must have hntl at I nst i'orty yi-arj of experience with vovi-.y nffalrs. ile receives each year u snun ht'.le for- time of JtH.Ood. which is Just equnl to tii,. totul salaries of our iir;s!dnt and his eight cabinet members added to- gether. Hesides this, he is furnished i the hire of a beautiful induce and Is nn- nualiy given $:il.O0O pin nianey. with which to pay the expanses of his house- j hold and stables. Mr. Cleveland is al lowed an annual appropriation of but $8,000 "for the contingent expenses of ! the executive household." and has to i !: for the feeding nnd keening of his j own horses, besides paying his coach- man out of Ills own pocket. The French people never enjoy this hurrah and I Hurry oi the presidential campaign, ,vhleh we are now experiencing. They have no Voice In the selection of the president, nil of that important work being reserved for congress. The French senate and chamber of deputies, which correspond to our two houses of congress, nitet jointly a month before the end of the existing president's term. They march in line past a large urn. Into whli h each member drops a slip of paper containing the name of the can didate of his choice. The man receiv ing an absolute majority lemiiins presi dent for seven years, during which term he receives altogether $1,015,000 from the government. France knows no regulnr election day. There being no vlee-preFirtent. the National Assem bly is called upon to Immediately elect it successor upon the death or resigna tion of a president. The new executive do.s lint merely fill in the unexpired term of his predecessor, but continues in power for a full term. In Switzerland any man who Is twen ty years old or over can vote. All Vot ers, except clergymen, are eligible to the presidency. As In France, how ever, the common people have no vole for the president not even indirectly. through partisan electors, ft very three years the s.lss congress elects ii exe- i etitlve cabinet of seven members, who nfler being chosen divide utiioiig them selves the portfolios of "foreign af fairs." 'post und telegraphs," "justice nnd police." "finance," "vsir." "In t.;iw" and "commerce nial duties." Kvery year the eal.ti"t moot and elects from its own members ii presi dent uud vice president of the repub lic, i Flection day in .Mexico, ns in this country, occurs every four y. nrs. There is no such Intermedia1 body as our electoral college in Unit republic. The majority of the votes of all the people cast at the polls elects t'ne succenslul candidate. The president is inaugur ated on the 1st of lceniber, which Is a much warmer day In that locality than is the 4th of March here. The .Mexican president's salary amounts to 311.0(H) ot our dollars a year, which is really considerably more than Air. i Cleveland's ollieial wages, the cost ot living being much less in thut repub lic. The Chief Justice of the Mexican Supreme court Is somewhat of a "pooh bnh." llesldes being the ollieial head of his own tribunal he Is, ex-otlicio, president of I he senate nnd vice presi dent of the republic. President Dins has a cabinet ol seven secretaries, each of whom receives exactly the same sal nry as that given to a cabinet othcer in this country. The ollieial Job of president In Ar gentina Is worth $111,000 more per term than is the same position In this coun try. Although the president of that country receives but $:;ti,ooO per year, he holds his position for six years. He is voted for through an electoral college comprising double the total number of members of congress, He cannot serve two terms in succession, but niny even a third termer, or perhaps a fourth termer. It he allows six year to inter- vein? between each term. The Ico president of Argentina holds a much more lucrative position than thnt which will fall to either Mr. HoharLMr. Sew- ull or Mr. Watson. As far as ease is j concerned he has exactly the same sine- j cure which one of these will enjoy, but ! receives SIS.OO0 a year for six years, or SlO.iino more per year than our success- j ful vice presidential candidate will be i given for four years. Religion counts ' as much ns, if not more than, politics In Argentine elections. Kvery young j man who has umbitlotis for the presi- I dency must be n Uoman Catholic, or I his yearnings will be of no avail. Re sides being a Romanist, the president, according to Cue constitution, must be over 30 years of age. Hoy orators have even more of a show in that country than they seem to hnve in this. Thu cabinet of the Argentine president cor- I responds very much to thnt of our own, with the addition of a minister of "Worship nud Kditontlon," who directs ill enterprises aimed at moral and In tellectual hcal'h. Cabinet ministers In Argentina receive each year us much money as ours receive in a year and a half. I The president of Bolivia receives $24.- j 000 a year for four years, lie Is elect ed by the direct vote of all citizens of the proper age, who can read and I write, but :aimot enjoy more than one term in the presidential chair, no mat j ter whether be skip u term or not. For ' the s.'itue term urn elected two vice i presidents, i.uowu ns the first and j second vice prcsideni. Tiny In turn perioriu no iuociioiih ui i:ie prevalent In casp of the death, absence or in ability of the hitler. The first vice pres ident receives an annual salary of $6. i)i)0 a year, while the s-cond receives a thousand dollars less. The head of the cabinet, oonsiztlng of five members, is known as the minister of foreign rela tions und worship. 1 If we were governed by the same i laws as uie in vufue in the republic of Chile our bachelors would have to wait until 25 before being of voting age, although our married men, older in experience and responsibility, might vote on In coming 21. A Chilean voter must be able to read and write, and must each yeur pay n certain amount of tax to the government. The salary of the president Is but SIN.OOO. which is ample for his comfort, and besides this his term lasts for h year longer than the term of our executive. He Is voted for through an electoral college com prised of three times as many mem bers ns there are representatives In the linvet house of the Chilean con gress. There are eleven membra of his cabinet, but he can choose but five of these, the other six being elected by congress. A man in Colombia ennnot vote if un nble to read and write unless he re ceives an annual Income of al least $500. In case of the death of boih the president and vice president of this republic, the succession falls to u "deslgnndo," who Is elected by con gress every two years, ulthough the president and vice president are elect ed every six years. The Colombian congress also elects a council of Stale, which acts us a secondurv cabinet to the president. An odd requirement of the presiden tial candidate In Honduras Is that he have one child, at least, A man is deemed unsuited to wield the sceptre of state unless he has already wielded the slbjncr of fatherhood. M"n like our Immortal Vtis'.iinton. who be- crene r.usniinr.s lett not fathers, a not in line for rectlvlas a sircre of lira highest national honoi s. Tht; president qZ i;cuuuras must alp W4nomrau his interest In his country to the ex tent of ha vine at least $0,000 invested in Its real estate. To be a clergyman or priest is Just as fatal to presidential umliwoi!Mas to be a bachelor, because this novel constitution further speci fies, like -that of Switzerland, thut no man In holy orders can be elected to the executive office. The president need not be a native of Honduras, but he must have been born somewhere in Central America. He must have lived in Honduras at least five years. In Venezuela the executive is elected somewhat after the manner of Switzer land. Kvery two years congress elects a council of nineteen members, con sisting of one senator nnd one repre sentative from each state and a mem ber of congress irom what is known us the federal district. This council con venes immediately after its election and proceeds to choose from its own number u president and vice president. The presidential salaries in the re- muining American republics and in those of the above not so specified. range all the way from $4,000 a year, paid to the president of Hayti, to $0,000, the annual compensation of the execu tive of Paraguay. In Costa Hica and Peru, as in ttollvla. there are two vice- ptesidents. P.razl). Costa Hica. Nlcara- trim. Parncnnv. Pern. Salvador. Santo Uomingn and "Uruguay each elects Its president for a term of four years. while Hawaii and Guatemala each adds two years to his term. In i'rugliay the president is elected by a majority of the two houses of congress. In joint session, The president of Hcuador has no veto power, while that of Paraguay cannot be re-elected until after the elapse of two terms. In Hawaii the successful presidential candidate, besides receiv ing a majority vote of the two houses of congress In Joint session, must also receive a majority of the votes In the senate alone. Male citizens who have a good knowledge of F.nglish or Hawa iian can vote for representatives in congress, but In order to cast ballots for members of the senate voters must besides have either a certain yearly In come or a certain possession of real or personal property. The two South Af rican republics. Orange Free State and the Transvaal, elect their presidents for terms of live years each. The voting for the president is done directly by Un people iu each country. San Mnrlno, in Europe. Is the small est republic In the world nnd is the only one In the world which has two presidents. Son Marino is not only the smallest but the oldest existing repub lic. Its entire urea consists of thirty three square miles, occupied by S.0O0 In habitants. It is governed by what Is known as the senate, or "great council." nf sixty members, twenty nobles, twen ty burgesses nnd twenty rural land owners, named for life by the council itself. From this exclusive bmly Is chosen the "council of twelve," which with the assistance of a legal adviser, acts as the court of last resort. The "council of twelve" Is elected every year. Kvery six months It elects toe two presidents, one of whom niur.t be a noble and the other either a burgess i or a rural landholder from Its own members-hip. now TO VOI'K. To vote the Republican ticket today put a cross (X) in the cir cle nt the top of the first col umn, and let It go at that. Many a man will protect his money at the risk of liU life. Thousands decline to tirotcct CT their lives because it would require the sacrifice of a few dollars of their money. This seems almost in credible but it is true. Men f e e 1 and realize that the most relentless enemy of mankind, consumption, is slowly but swiftly creeping upon them. But in the mad race for money they refuse to stop and drive off the dread disease. It would require a sacrifice of both time and money aud so they neglect it, until it is too late. fhere is no excuse for this. A sure ana ! quick remedy is at hand.
