To the Editor Of the 1ndianapolis journal.

In perusing an old classical novel, recently,
| happened across a passage in which mention is
made of disease called ''thickening of the
skin" The book mentions that by reason of
power Please tell me, through the Journal
whether any such disease is known to our mod
ern followers of Hippocrates. In somewhat ex-
tended and varied course of reading, have never
found anything else on the subject
WABASH, Ind, July 49, 81 GRADUATE
This disease of the skin has been subdivided
into many by modern dermatoIogists, but there
is one frequently seen corresponding to the de-
seription- iehthyosis.

THE soul of that eminent prohibition advo-
cate, the indianapolis Sentinel, is grievously
disturbed because of Rev. DR.. Marines Sun
day night discourse, in which he declined to
follow the Shiel annex into the Democratic
party. The Journal has reliable information,
also, that Luther Benson and Sim Coy, equally
well-known Prohibitionists, are in great dis
tress over the matter.

A PRIVATE letter from Des Moines, Iowa,
says the Irish there are enthusiastic for Blaine
and Logan. Many of them wear plumes in
their hats, and by every sign give evidence Of
the earnestness and enthusiasm Of their ad
vocacy of the candidate who has the 'tAmer-
can instinct and who has been favored with
the abuse of the English press without dis
tinction.

THE leading editorial in yesterdays Courier
Journal opens as follows:
f'Mr. Blaine will never be elected President
of the United States. 1t is not that personal
abuse will defeat him. It will not, for abuse
is reactionary. There have been many better
men than he in public life of whom many
worse things might be justly said than can be
said of him. In his habits he is an exemplary
character; in his domestic life he is an affec-
tionate and worthy pater familias. But he is,
in all public ways, the most baleful and sinis-
ter influence, the most corrupting moral force
that has ever appeared in the political expe-
rience of the United States. Charles james
Fox was debauchee He was, in his private
conduct all that man ought not to be- But
he loved liberty. He hated tyranny and We
nality. He could not be bought or bullied,
and the world owes him vast debt. His
father, Henry Fox, the first Earl Of Holland,
was a safe, sober prudent domestic animal,
who demoralized the public service of his time
and disgraced and plundered his country. A
still greater political freebooter was Sir Rob
ert Walpole. He, too like Fox the elder,
was a pattern Of household virtues"
We presume this may be taken as the de-
tense of Grover Cleveland by this leading Dem
ocratic newspaper of the country

Mr. J. G. LEWIS, one of. the signers of a

Lewis has seen for himself, and declines to be
hoodwinked any further.
