THE GERMAN POLICY.

Having No Ambit ons She Can Devote
Herself to Maintaining Peace.
BERLIN, Feb. 23.-In the course of
the debate in tn the reichstag on the
foreign Office estimates, the minister
for foreign affairs, Baron Marshall Won
Bieberstein, replying to a question on
the situation in Crete, said that the
Germ an warship, Kaiserin Augusta,
had landed 80 marines to take part in
the joint foreign occupation of that
place Sunday morning and went into
action Sunday afternoon.
Baron Marshall then referred to the
bombardment, but said he was com.
PEELED to refrain from making a de.
tailed statement on the subject at pres

He added that he could only say that
it was in the line of German policy
clearly marked out, namely. resoulute
intervention in favor of the mainten-
ance of peace, adding Germany has
no individual interests Of any kind to
serve in the East and we cal therefore

COL. HENRY RAYMOND.

Communicated in County Mail.
Some time ago it was rumored about
that this gentleman was about to re-
ceive something u the way Of federal
appointment at the hands of the pres
emit administration. OF late we have
heard nothing Of the matter.
We take pleasure in saying that no
more popular appointment could be
made by any party. Col. Raymond is
one of the most prominent, popular
men in this section. Having descend
ed from a pioneer ancestry who repell-
ed the Indian inyasions and drove the
savages back toward the setting sun,
he pe~petuates the patriotism Of his
noble ancestors.
During the last Presidential cam
paign each party spent a good deal Of
time "cussin' the other fellows. but
we never heard an imputation against
Col. Raymond. who contributed largely
to the success Of the Republican party IN
this congressional district and in the
State as we'll. He is a thoroughly I'M
washed Republican, but genial honor
able. gentleman as we'll. The consen-
sus of public opinion is for Raymond.
From an Independent position, stand
ing midway between the two great
parties as we do, we fully endorse all
that the writer says of Col. Raymond.
