Germsn COlOnists--A Dissolution of n
Coup d'Et4t Expected.
BERLIN, Jan. 25.-Bismarck to-day in
debate in the Prussian Landtag on the,
expulsion Of Poles from Germany, made
a remarkable speech occupying two hours
in its delivery. He said the primary cause
Of the governments action was the dis
loyalty Of the Poles TO the German crown.
They were, he said, constantly engaged
in intrigues against the government, aud
had made themselves a steady annOyance
to Prussia by acting as accOmpices oc
the opposition IN the German Parliaments
They effected majority against the gOv-l
ernment, and the Crown could do nothing
less than either deny tue demands of such
majority or else destroy the evil elemenb
which made the majority possible. The
Polish agitation in Germany, Bismarck
said, had always appeared to MIN an ele-
ment Of danger, and had compelled him
TO keep watch upon the Russian POies
had been constantly, and nos always un.
successfully, endeaVOrng TO set the fOr-
elgn States against Prussia.
THR GOVERNMENT TO BUY UP THEIR
REAL ESTATE.
Hence" continued the Chancellor,
"we have determined to buy out all real
estate offered by Polish mobiles IN Prus1
sian Poland and place German colonistsI
on lands hitherto occupied by the exS
PEELED people.
In order TO make the colonization inure
permanently to the benefit OF the empire,
tho colonists will be prohibited from mar
ryng Poles. The cost OF the undertaking
will be about 800, 100000 marks (abOuti
| $T5, ,0O0, 000) but the State will lose no,
| more than 10 per cert. Of this loss, made
| necessary by the eXigencies Of the case,
buying out an alien class and reselling
to the Germans, while the gain to thet
empire viii be unmeasurable. The
government" spoke out the Chancellor,
| with great animation, "will never cons
cede the restoration of Poland, nor a
hair's-breadth in that direction"
The Poles played suspicious part in
Kulturcampf. Whosoeyer refuses to help
| protect and maintain the State is not eE-
| titled 10 claim anything from the State.
HE WILL GIVE HIS HEAD AND HONOR TO
GERMANY.
AS for me 1 am ready to save
my country, although 1t cost me my head
and honor. II anybOdy dares 10 attack
| Frus5ia's frontiers ! shall say, like Glad
| stone. 'Hands offnV Referring 70 in
situations That the governments religious
pTeiudices had great influence in It's treats
ment OF the Poles. Bismarck said: "Re-
| ngion il in no wise connected With the
eXpulsions. As the policy Of kindness
! had failed IL became necessary to reduce
| the Polish element IN Germany and in
crease the German element. This is the
! real reason for the explosions, and the
government has determined TO persist in
this work, despite the opposition OF the
| ReIchstag, aud in conclusion | will saw
| that before allowing the tatherland to be
| endangered. | would counsel the Em-
perOr TO make the federal government in-
| dependent OF the Ob5tructiOnist5 tactics in
! the keichstag 80 far as the constitution
and laws OF Germany would permit, for L
would mold any minister 10 be a coward
who should hesitate to stake everything
to save his Fatherland from danger"
The ChancellOr's speech is the principal
tonic Of conversation i'm the capitol to-
night. IL is generally conceded tnat the
| speech is equally capable OF being inters
preted to foreshadOw either a dissolution
OF the Reichstag or camp d'etdt.
THE OCCASION or THE SPEECH
was the discussion of resolution intro,
duced on Saturday last expressing satis-
| faction at "a passage in the speech from
| the throne promising measures for the
| protection al German interests in East
! Prnssia. Herr Achenbach moved that
the resolution be adopted and the notion
was supported by Herr Weshr. Dr.
Windthorst opposed the motion. After
Bismarck's speech the discussion was ads
iournpd until fQ-mOrf0W
