RER1IN. Jan. 2S.-Prince Bismarck to-
day i'm debate in the Prussian landtag, on
the expulsion of the Poles from Germany,
made a remarkable speech, occupying two
hours in delivery. He said the primary
cause of government action was
disloyalty of the Poles to the German
crown. They were, he said, constantly
engaged in intrigues against the govern
ment, and made themselves steady an
noyance to Prussia, by acting as accom-
plces of the opposition in the German par
lament they effected a majority against the
government, and the crown could do moth
ing less than either deny the demands of
such majority or destroy the evil element
which made majority possible with the
Polish agitation in Germany. Bismarck
said they always appeared to him an ele-
ment of danger and had compelled him to
keep watch upon Russia. The Poles had
been constantly and not always unsuccess-
fully endeavoring TO set foreign states
against Prussia.
Hence" continued the chancellor, I'VE
endeavored TO buy out all real estate owned
by Polish mobiles in Prussian-Poland ana
place German colonists on that hitherto oc-
cupied by the expelled people. In order 10
make colonization inure permanently 10 the
benefit of the empire colouists are to be pro-
hibited from marrying Poles. The cost of
the undertaking will be almost 300, 100000
marks (about $75, 5,000,000), but the state will
lose no more than 10 per cent. of this loss made
necessary by the eXigencies of the case, OF
buying out an alien class and reselling 10 the
Germans, while the gain to the empire will
be unreasonable. The government, SAID
the chancellor,
WITH GREAT ANIMATION,
will never concede the restoration of Poland
nor a hairs breadth in that direction. The
Poles played a suspicious part in the kultur-
kampf. Whosoever refuses to help, protect
and maintain the state is not entitled TO any
thing from the state. AS for me, am ready
to save my country, although it costs me my
head and honor. If anybody dare attack
the Prussian frontiers / shall say, like Glad
stone, Hands OF.
Referring to the insinuation that the gov
ernment's religious prejudices had great i'll
hnence i'm its treatment of the Poles, Bis
marck said:
Religion is in no wise connected with the
eXpulsions. AS the policy of kindness
failed, il became necessary to reduce the
Polish element in Germany and increase the
German element. This is the real reason for
aXpusions and the government has deter
mined to persist in this work, despite the op-
position of the reichstag. IN conclusion
[ will say that before allowing the Fatherland
to be endangered would counsel the emperor
10 make the federal government independent
far as the constitution and laws of Germany
would permit, for / would hold any minister
to be q coward who should hesitate TO stake
everything TO save his fatherland from
danger.
The chancellor's speech is the principal
topic of conversation in the capital tonight.
1t is generally conceded that the speech is
equally capable of being interpreted to fore
shadow either dissolution of the reichstag
OF coup d. etat. The occasion of Prince
Bismarck's speech was the discussion of the
resolution introduced on Saturday last ex-
pressing satisfaction at the passage of the
speech from the throne promising measures
for the protection of German interests i'm
East Prussia. Herr Achenbach moved that
the resolution be adopted, and the motion
was supported by Herr Wehr. DIR. Wend-
therst opposed the motion. After Prince
Bsmarck's speech the discussion was ad-
journed until tomorrow.
