The President Draws a Line Against
Of1oeseeksrs.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The following
was to-day promulgated By the President
for the information of the public:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Oct. q, 1857.
For nearly eight months large share of the
time OF the President has been devoted to
hearing applications for offices and the deter
minatiOn of appointments. Much Of the time
thus spent has undoubtedly subserved the
public good. Some of 1t has been sacrificed 20
the indulgence Of people in their natural
insistence upon useless interviews, and some
of 1t has been unjustifably wasted. The pub
lie welfare, and due regard for the claims
of those whose interests IN the government
are entirely disconnected with ofticehOlding,
imperatively demand that in the future the
time Of the President should be differently
occupied; and he confidently expects that
all good citizens viii asquiesce in the pro
priety and reasoHableness OF the following
plan adopted to that end:
AN END TO INTERVIEWS.
After the first day Of November the Pres-
dent viii decline to grant interviews to those
seeking public posi- tions or their advocates.
On Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays dur
ing that month, from 10 to II o'clock IN the
morning he viii receive such other persons as
call on strictly private business, and on the
same days at 1880 O'Clock in the even
ing, ne will meet those who merely desire to
pay their respects. On all other days and
times during that month ne viii receive only
cabinet officers and heads of departments,

to stay at the stable all the afternoon,

Canadians in Montreal has proven to be
true, and has resulted in terrible riot
The moment it was decided TO inaugur-

mob started up as if by magic, and sur
rounded the east branch health office IN
Montreal and demolished it. They next
proceeded to the City Hall and demol-
ished the police Office there and then
started for the central police station.
The audiences of the attack took the
police by surprise, aud for the time be-
ing they were powerless to oppose the
mob that gathered strength as 1t went,
and threatened to take possession of the
entire city. Vigorous measures were,
however. at once adopted. The police
were armed with rifles with fixed bayo-
nets and charged upon the mob. The
rioters broke in wild confusion, bat done
all the damage possible as they went.
A great many arrests have been made
but the peace of the city Is by no means
restored. The military are under arms

The long and somewhat labored reply

IN THE NEWS of last evening is more
conspicuous for what IT does not, rather

advocating all the offenses enumerated

remains the absence of proof and the
paucity of argument against him.

with all his we'll known goodness OF
heart, his generous appreciation of the
wants and sufferIngs of his fellow men,

his depreciation of the supineness of the

The Republican of Tuesday raises
Its voice against prohibition IN most en-
phatic language, but 1t is against the
prohibition that relates to certain mat
ters of insurance instead of that which
concerns alcoholic manufactures; aud in
this connection our neighbor says: THAT

To prohibit the people from CARRYING on

extent To which capital interests can sue

rights and tax everybody for their own

antipodes to snpinely accedIng to GER

the resistance To such legislation, and

resistance To prohibition when
applied tD insurance and the enforce

other kinds of busihessy Or does it
mean to say prohibition is all right

The principle of prohibition is the
principle of introduction. Its action Is
dOgmatic, whether applied To one indus
try or another, and it Is no worse when
applied To thR business of insurance
than To any other buriness.
Referring to the law passed at the last
session of the Kansas legislature regu-
lating insurance in the state, the Repub-
lican says:
IL Is doing Just what IL was intended
To, forcing the people of Kansas TO sub
init to old line Company insurance by
directly prohibiting endowment and
practically prohibiting life Insurance on
the assessment plan. Money paid in
Kansas Tor insurance must now 90 70
