BLISS ALLEGED BLUNDERs
Charges of MaItreatment and
Improper Diagnosis TO be
Made Against Him.

Washington Special to the Chicago Timesl
In an interview, to-day, with DR..
Bliss, he explains at some length his
connection with the Presidents case.
He says he was sent for by the Sccre-
tary of War and remained. in charge at
the requesto of both President and Mrs.
Garfield, with authority to select his
associates. He then proceeded to a
general vindieation Of the treatment
pursued without entering into details.
u vouched for the accuracy of the
bulletins, and stigmatizes as an
insult any intimation that the cypher
communications we're kept up with
Wall street for the benefit of
stock jobbers. In the meantime, a
lively war is impending, from which
the doctor cannot save bimself by
newspaper interviews. The attack
will soon be made and is intended
to substantiate the following among
other charges: That the improper
diagnoses having been made it was
followed by continuous series Of
blunders; that the patient was over
dosed and saturated with morphine
to his great detriment. That his
stomach was further deranged by i'm
proper food, such as oatmeal, onions
and vinegar, and cream toast; that
alcoholic stimulants were unduly and
iniuriously administered; that proper
Efforts for ascertaining the loea
tiOn of the ball we're never
resorted to; that the condition of
the patient was systematically
misrepresented to the consulting
physicians; that different dispatches
from those spread upon the bulletins
were sent to Wall street; that the
President never requested to see the
bulletins before they were posted, as
stated in the excuse of their generally
encouraging character; that his mind
was wandering most of the time of his
sickness; that Barnes, Reyburn and
Woodward were dismissed by Mrs.
Garefld's order; and that the results
of the autopsy have not been fairly
stated. These serious charges, with
many more, will confront DR.. Bliss
and be corroborated, it is said by per-
sons familiar with che history of the
case. They have never appeared in
print, but before many days will be
formulated like accounts of an indict-
Rent and the great controversy be-
gins.

FaiIuren for Nine NIonfhs.

NEW YORK, September 3O.-The
failures for nine months, ending Sep
tember 30, 1881, arc reported by Dun,
Winan & Co., are 1890, as compared
with 3476 the corresponding period of
1880. The liabilities for three-quar-
ters of the present year are $51, 100000
as compared with $45,OOO,O00 for the
same period Of 1880. The failures
for the last three month have
been 1924, with liabilities Of
$l0,000,0OO while in the third quar-
ter they we're 979, with liabilities at
sl2,OOO,OOO The geograph ical dis
tribution of failures show that the
Southern States suffered somewhat,
inasmuch as the figures indicate the
liabilities for the first three months at
eighty, there we're only sS4S, 900 against
Sl,O54,OOO for the present quarter.
On the other hand, for the Western
States the liabilities show decline Of
nearly .$650,00O in favor of this quar-
ter. In the Middle States the liabili-
ties are about 100000 less in
amount than in the corresponding
period of 1880, In the Eastern
and Pacific States the liabilities
are but little different from
those of last year. In Canada an ex-
coptionally good condition of affairs
has prevailed, the failures for the last
three months having been but 13O,
with liabilities Of $7SO,OOO. This is a
better showing than has been made in
the Dominion for any quarter during
the past six years.

THERE is man in California who
has a snake in his stomach, and is
obliged to drink large quantities of
whisky to keep the reptile stupifed,
as it causes him great pain when he
is lively. When such basis for
general excuses as this comes smil-
ingly to the front, the temperance
people sit down and told their hands
and think it is just no use to carry the
fight any further.-[ Ex.
This is not discouraging to snake
dealers at all. There should be a
considerable rise in the market on the
strength of such news. Meanwhile il
remains an open question whether the
whisky SHOULD be put down first and
the snake afterward or the snake first
and the whisky on top.

was this process Of subdivision that

fewer than 10000 small farms were
thus sliced of in the course of three
years. The multiplication in the num-
Der Of land owners ought to have in
creased the stability and good order Of
society, but unfortunately these peas
ant cultivators chose to raise nothing
but cotton, buying their corn, bacon,
hay, fertilizers and other supplies
of the country merchants, and OBJ
tanning credit on the security of the
expected crop. Thus they placed
themselves entirely in the power of
money-lenders, and what with inter.
est on the advances and exorbitant
prices for the purchases, they paid
usury Of 30 and even as high as 20 per
cent. The end Of such system was
inevitable. For some years the COM
mission merchants have been gradu-
ally acquiring the title to the land,
and the cultivators have been sinking
into the position of tenants. The
subdivision Of holdings increases, but
the ownership of farms is gradually
concentrating in fewer and fewer
hands; the agricultural population is
becoming separated in two distinct
classes, rich landlords and poor crop
