The Official statistics Of German commerce tor
the year 1885 have just been published. Omitting
coin ami bullion, the value of imports Of merchan-
disc was 2,944, 400, 900 marks, and the value OF
exports 1880. 200. 900 marks Tho imports COM
pare with 3.2G0OOO.O00 marks last year. and
3,799, 100000 marks ten years ago. The exports
compare with 3.2O5. 5.0OO,O 900 marks in 1884. and
2546yOOO 900 marks ten years ago. 1t Is stated
tnat the decrease In foreign commerce In 1885 was
10 consequence Of the continued fall Ia prices and
that in quantities the volume Of imports increased
2s.be4 tons compared with 1884. but that the
exports decreased 337.793 tons, chiefly In cattle,
sheep, swine sr gar iron goods and machinery.

The President has sent the OeOmargarine bill TO
Attorney General Garland for his opinion as to its
constitutionality. This Is the same Garland who
gave the opinion that induced large numbers OF per-
sons to pay money to the Pan-Electric Company to
their great sorrow and complete loss In that
opinion, speaking of the Pan-Electric patents Gar
land wrote: II have given the subject referred to
much attention, and am clearly Of the opinion
that the Pan Electric named by you in no wise In
fringes the Bell telephone" But no Judge has yet
been found IN the United States to sustain Gar
lands opinion in this matter Every court that has
passed upon the question has decided that Car
lands opinion was worthless Are the farmers and
darymen OF the United States to have their inter-
ests jeopardlzed by the opinion Of such mani As
all the Southern Senators, including those from
Garand's State, opposed this bill, it is probable
that Garland will be able to furnish an opinion
that 1t Is unconstitutional 1t Is pity that some
power cannot be found to force him back to the
merlted obscurty OF Hominy Hill.
