that in 1867 he gave an Indian half a

Quarreling Doctors.
cial to The Cincinnati Commercial

Special to the Cincinnati Commercially
WASH NGToN, July 24.-The
charges against DR.. Bliss, announced
in the Commercial yesterday, are likely
to receive some notice at the hands of
the profession. The Retrospect, a
medical jeurnnl of standing in the
District, will to morrow print a
lengthy editorial article on the sub
iect of the "A Violation of Medical
Ethics, in the course of which it will
say:
ut is most unfortunate that. to
the horrible attempt at assassination.
there should be added scandal cal
culated to throw discredit upon the
medical profession. We well know
that public opinion catches at.
as a choice morsel, anything
that may, or seemingly may, tends to-
ward It's disparagement. Hogarth's
picture of the dying patient and quar-
reling doctors has long stood as a IA
vorite expression Of this impulse. and
now there has been violation fined
ieal ethics at time aud place calcu.
lated to do the profession harm"
Alter reviewing the facts already
given in the Commercial, the writer
further says:
From the above statement of facts
we can but draw these conclusions
LIST. That Dr.. Bliss was not the Pres.
ident's family physician, and by assn.
ming the formal charpe of DR. loves
bends patient treat d that phys,ioian
with professional discourtesy. and vio-
lated the spirit of that por. ion of Sec
ton s, which reads.
wv hen number of physicians are
simultaneously sens for. courtesy
should assign the patient to the first
Tho arrives. Second, not being the
family physician, at simply an acct
dental attendant, position belonging
to Dr. Towns Iend, DR.. Bliss, by re-
tnslng to permit DR. Baxter, the fam.
lily physician, to see the President. was
guilty OF great professional discour-
tesy, and grossly violated the spirit of
section 5, which reads
When physician is called on to
an urgent case because the family al
tendantis not at hand, he ought. pn-
less his assistance in consultation be
desired, to resign the care of tho pa-
tent to the latter Immediately on his
arrival
We have no wish to dwell upon this
disgracelul affair, but desire to call
attention as a bright contrast, to the
lorbe caring and gentlemsnly conduct
OF Drs. Townshend and Blxter. Does
il not seem singular that such men as
ors. Townshend and Lincoln and
Surgeon General Wales should be
dismissed and distant physicians sent
for, about the time DR.. Baxter ap-
peared upon the scene and asked to
be taken to his patient2 Were the
dismissed physicians of inferior talent
to the gentlemen FROM distance; or
were they friends of DIR. Baxter;
and is it customary for the attendapt
physician TO inform the consultay,ts
that their services are no longer r. eed-
cd between consultations? Other
questions equally pertinent might be
asked, but we strongly suspect that
Baxters Banquo was too much for
Bliss Macbeth, and that is why the
gentlemen were told to stand not upon
the order Of their going, but to so at
once. We do not care to further dis
cuss this miserable scandal, which
has been so unscrupulously attached
to the great public calamity.

Reduction of Passenger
Tariff.
Major c. P. Atmore, General Pas
senger Agent of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad company, has issued
from the Office at Louisville, circu-
lar setting forth a reduction of passen-
ger tariffs on the Memphis division Of
the road to take effect on the first of
August. The rates per mile will be
as follows: For frst-class unlimited
tickets, A cents per mile: For first
class limited tickets, good for contin-
uous passage, 4 cents per mile: For
round trip tickets, good 10 days, 81
cents per mile: For 1000 mile indi.
vidual tickets, good only over one d.
vision of the line, "a cents per mile,
For 2,0OO-mile individual tickets, good
over entire line, q cents per mile.
As ain example Of the reduction
which will be made under the new
tariff from present rates, take Mem
phis to Humboldt; the present rate is
1885,, under new tariff for a continu-
Gus passage 1t will be 1928 or reduc-
ton of 16 per cent, while round trip
between same points, now costing $40
can be made for $50 or a reduction
of 26 per cent. The newrate on l, 900
mile tickets over the Memphis divi-
sion is reduction of eight per cent
from present rates, and on 2,O0O-mile
ticket Of 16l per cont from present
rates.
These reductions are calculated tC
increase local travel, and to meet the
hearty approval of the travelling
public.

This may be known in the future as
the era of canal digging, One of tho
many gigantic projects which are now
engaging the attention Of engineers
and capitalists the world over is the
construction of canal between the
North Sea and Baltic, first suggested
after the conclusion of the Danish war.
According to the original plan, as
drawn by the Prussian Government
Engineer Lentze, in 1865, the canal
was to run from st. Margarethen on
the Lower Elbe, to Eckernforde. on
the Baltic and the cost estimated at
81, 100000 marks. 1t was afteward
decided that in order to make the
canal more valuable from strategical
point of view, it should debouch in
the Bay of Kiel, and the extra expense
Of doing this was estimated by Lentze
at 80, 900 600 marks. Various obiee
tons however, were made to the plan,
chiefly on the ground of expense, and
it was ultimately dropped. Other
proposals were subsequently made
from time to time; and in 1873 Ham
burg engineer, Herr Dahlstrom, pub
lished a pamphlet strongly advocating
the establishment of waterway be-
tween the two seas as a matter of
international interest, and suggesting
that the work should be undertaken
by joint stock company subsidized
by the government. The state Of the
money market at that time was not
favorable to the establishment of a
company for the purpose; but the mat
ter has now seriously been taken up
by private fnanciers, and a second
pamphlet has been issued by Herr
Dahlstrom suggesting that the canal
should proceed from Brunsbuttel to
Holtenean, in the Baltic and estimat-
ing its cost at 90,000,0O0 marks.
