encourage moral efforts for the immediate
and unconditional abolition of war, regard
ing any compromise Herewith as delaying
the establishment of radical peace"

unhappy situation in Cuba should not be
perverted into war OF conquest; that tho
mission of the United States is to exhibit to

taking a course which hos, in the case of
other republics resulted in their downfall.

1--WE want no wars of conquest; we must
avoid the temptation of territorial aggres-

Few statesmen, 1t Is alleged, can be
credited with us many phrases as Bis
marck-phrases that the Germans call
winged notices." which fly from lip to
lip and become household words. A
great part of the epigrams of this rugged
speaker came from his lips spontaneously,
illuminating at intervals his discourse,
pronounced 10 public, or smoking his
pipe at his own freside while conyerslng
with some friend. But the most cele-
brated phrases attributed to the OK chan.
cellof are perhaps those that he never
used. For example, he never said that
'might conquers right" This is the
story of that phrase attributed to Bis
marck. In sitting of the Prussiau
Chamber of Deputies, March 18th, 1868,
Count Schwerin, responding to one of
Bismarck's speeches, said: "The phrase
TINT expresses the whole speech Of the
president of military affairs, "Might con-
quers right" is not the principle upon
which the Prussian dynasty should rest
in order to endure. Its device Is rather
"Right conquers might" Bismarck, who,
according TO his custom, had retired to
the ante-chamber after delivering his
speech, re. entering at that moment, COM
prehended what had just been said. He
protested that he never lad pronounced
the phrase in question. Count Schwerin
said he had never attributed 1t to him, but
that he bad given it simply as an ex-
preston of his politics.
The phrase, however, remained, but
thenceforward Bismarck prosecuted for
defamation all orators and journals con-
tinuing to imputo 1t TO him.
Phrases are sometimes dangerous. A
score of years or so ago, local states

mark in tho Wilmington City Council
with respect to the consideration that
minorities in political bodies were entitled

marks were reported and printed in the
form Of the cruel and cold .blooied de-
claration that "minoriiies have no rights
that majoriiies aye bound to respect.

Said To BE Its Object.
Paris. oct 15.-It is impossible to pick
out the truth from the mass of rumors
current regarding the alleged military
plot which was discovered yesterday.
The general idea is that it was intended
by a pretended revisionist demonstra-
tion to insult and provoke the army into
some act which might have led to the
arrest ard incarceration of a Dreyfusite
and the proclamation OF a military gov
ernment. Apparently the Orleanists
were at the bottom of the movement,
and an English duke is mentioned.
There is little doubt that the plot has
been frustrated. but a very uneasy
feeling prevails. Among those alleged
to be involved in the plot is Prince Louis
Bonaparte who is a colonel of Rus
sian Iancers and in whose favor his
elder brother, Prince Victor Bonaparte.
recently resigned the leadership of the
imperialist party.
A long and vague semi-official state
ment appeared last evening suggesting
various possible motives-such as Drey-
fus intrigueS or an attempt by the
Socialists to frighten the government
into dispensing the troops that now pre-
vent the success of the strike-to ex-
plain the rumors of the alleged con-
spiracy The absence of any straight
forward denial. however. tends to en-
courage the belief that there must be
some ground for the rumors.
Brussels, Oct. 15.-The Duke of Or
leans accompanied by Comte Sabran
