NOMINATIONS,
CLARKE IN A CORNER.

Dr. James Freeman Clarke, who thought Blaine was 8 splendid man in 1876, and who is now very much opposed to his cleo tion, has made an effort to wriggle out of th e corner in which he was placed by the publica-
 tion of an extract from speech made by
 him at Republican ratification meeting in
 Fsneuii Hall in 1876. In that speech he
 expressed his admiration for Blaine's 'ssplen-
 did abilities, his great past services and his
 chivalric courage" He said: "We all hon.
 ored his character and sympathized with his
 suferings" He attributed to MT. Blaine the
 possession, in greater degree than any other
 public man possessed It. of the Napoleonie
 power of influencing and organizing multi
 tudes of Eoen. And this eulogy was followed
 by no phrases of limitation. Now Dr.
 Clarke fells compelled to explain that speech.
 The substance of his explanation is that hsv-
 ing gained the nomination of Mr. Hayes, he
 naturally felt more kindly toward the defeat
 ed candidate. But he now opposes MT. Blaine
 because The stands for the bad side of Amer icau politics, though in his private character no doubt honorable and amiable. :"
 This is explanation that leaves Dx. Clarke in quite as unpleasant posision as he occupied before he made it He has fairly laid himself open to the following criticism by the Philadelphia North American. Mr. Clarke, on his own confession, certainly stands for the bad side of American politics, because his speech lauding Mir. Blaine in 1876 wss made out of the very motive which governs the professional politician. He may not be aware of it, but he and such as he resort to the very subterfuges behind which political tricksters hide when brought to book. He reveals his utter ignorance of human nature when he says MT. Blaine is doubtless in his private character honorable and amiable yet stands for all that is bad in American politics He has not learned that an honorable man is honorable in public as well as in private life, and in that error he copies the tricky politician. Political rascals hold that an honorable man can be rascal in politics and otherwise honorable. This ab- surd holding is unworthy of man who takes his stand upon principle, as MT. Clarke claims to do. He is evidently one of the hap hazard men of whom Butler writes, ''who wire in and wire out," causing the observer to doubt 'swhether his track is going out or coming back.''
 Dr. Clarke's 1876 speech and his letter ex- blaming it pretty efeotually dispose of him as 6 force in the anti-BIaine camsaiga. Per- who mean to be honest cannot always keep their ''record" so that it cannot be used against them.

New Foreig n Markets.

Spanish America ana the Pacific Port as Outiets for Oar TrsdO-OpPortuni ties for Comm @rce-Lessens to be Tang hi st the New Orleans Exposition. From the New York Heraldl The coming Worlds Industrial Exposition at New Orleans is assuming unusual impor. tancs as the first comprehensive and system atic advance upon the inviting but partially supplied trade fields of Spanish America and the countries surrounding the South Pacific ocean. The popular and urgent demand foI new markets for our surplus manufactures will here find an ample outlet and one which has been too long neglected.
 THE sPANIsH AMERICAN OUTLETS.
 Our foreign commerce during the first een- tury Of the Republic was mainly with Flu rope on the east, and at least eighty pel cent of our exports were the products of az. riculture. The result of hundred years ol trade is as follows:
 Exports to Europe and Africa on the east, 61 per cent
 Exports to American countries on the south, 10 per cent.
 Exports to British possessions on tho north 5 per cent.
 Exports to Pacific countries on the west, 4 per cent
 Europe being well supplied with manufac lures of it's own production, bus from ut but little except raw material and food sup. plies In marked contrast Spanish America is exceedingly deficient in manufactures, and in this respect is dependent upon the outside world for it's supply. The present anaual imports of merchandise by the various American countries the south-Mexico, the West Ipdies and the States of Central and South America-are as follows in value

 l Attention was drawn at the last meeting of l the London Ophthalmalogical society to tho report of 6 committee appointed to inquire l into the prevalence of blindness caused by a ! preventable edisease-ophthalmia neonatorum It appears that more than thirty per cent of the cases in the institution are due to it, and the society has appointed 8 deputation to wait upon the presidents of the local govern ment boards in England and Ireland, and the representative in Scotland, with the object of securing the circulation of card, through the poor law and birth regiatries, in which parents and guardians are instructed to take
 newborn infants to 8 doctor without delay should the yelids become red and swollen
 The card will warn that the disease is danger ous, and if not speedi ly treated may lead to
 loss of sight in both eyes.
 An effort is being made to utilize natural
 gas in the great industries of Pittsburg, and
 with fair promise of some success. East
 Liverpool, Ohio, has for years been burning natural gas, but without perfect satisfaction.
 At Sharpsbnrg also 1t has been used in the
 manufacture of iron, but the supply is not
 enough to allow entire dependence to be
 placed upon it. Occasionally the works have
 to be stopped or 8 return made to coal The
 supply of gas, however, at East Liverpool
 and Sharpsburg is so steady as to give the idea that 1t comes not from reservoir but from what may be 8 natural re.ort, where the gas, almost pure hydrogen, is generated The effect of the sinking of a large number of wells at Pittsburg remains to be seen. For the time being, however, there is an abund- ant supply, and preparations are being made for the general use of the natural fuel.
 It is thought by some well-informed poli- ticians that Florida may be carried by the Republicans this year. A Democrat. who is vouched for as the best informed man in Florida by the Macon (Georgia) Telegraph, tells that paper that the comparative strength of parties in Florida was tested by the cleo. ton of 1882, when the Democrats carried the State by about three hundred votes; that the natural strength of the Independents is be- tween two aud three thousand votes; that both parties have gained since 1876, but the Republicans have gained more; that the Cuban vote of about eight hundred and fifty is controlled by the iunta in New York; that there is a very unfortunate breach in the Democratic party. caused partly by doubts of the integrity of the State administration and partly by the refusal to give any man 8 chance for political employment or dis tinotion who is not a native of the South or 8 confederate soldier, and that these disis- ions will make Florida very doubtful State.

The enforcement of the child labor law in New Jersey meets an unforeseen obstacle. Ac cording to this law boys under twelve and girls under fourteen years must not be sua- ployed in the manufactorie5. The cupidity of many parents is such that they represent the ages of their children as greater than they really are, and the children themselves are too well trained to contradict the assertions of their parents. In spite of the determine tion of the authorities to execute the law and the popular approval in which it is held. it is likely to be largely defeated by the parents' inverseity and the absence of other means to ascertain the real age of She children.

A SPLENDID FIELD NEGLECTED.

Of this total annual demand Oargely man. ufactures) the United States supplies only $71 1863, 900, or seventeen per cent.-in oth- CT words, but about one-sixth part The chief portion of the demand is supplied by Europe. Such a state of affairs is discredit to American enterprise. It is, indeed, g weak spot in our foreign commerce witch must be built up and strengthened. We should now supply at least two=thirds, or $2SO, COG, 900, of this demand.
 But the amount of the present imports of these American countries on the south is but a drop ia the bucket compared with ths enor- nous demand in the early future as the inev itable result of railway construction and the new era of material developmsuE and prsg ress upon which they have recently entered.
 On this point it may be well to consider for a moment few significant facts and figures. Mexico has g present annual foreign trade (exports and imports of merchandise aionel of $55, ,OOO, 600 in value, ranking thirty fourth among the comnaeroial nations of the world. In view of it's wonderful natural re- sources, the sacG that five international rail ways are projected from the Rio Grande to the City of Mexico, and six transcontinentai railways projected to it's Pacific ports, the further fact that 1t has recently placed upon She Atlantic 8 new and efficient merchant marine, and will soon do the same upon the Pacific and in view of its rapid progress in mining. agriculture and other respects, it may not be unreasonable to estimate it's fu- ture foreign trade ss high as the present trade of Italy, which is $5e4 ,O0O, GOO in valus

Two cases likely to disturb the care of di- rectors have lately been tried in London. In one the directors of the Wreck Recovery and Salvage company were very near finding themselves wrecked by shareholder, who vowed he had been deluded by their fine prospectus. The question was whether the statements might be put down to being over saneuine or amounted to misrepre entation. One judge out of three took the induleent view, another sided in 8 very Iukewarm man. ner with him, the third was averse to the di- rectors.
