Show THE POLES MUST GO. Bismarck flakes a Vigorous Speech in Behair of Fatherland. Whosoever Refnses to Maintain the State Is Not Entitled to Protection Protec-tion from the State. He Proposes to Apply a Doctrine Which May let Be Applied to the .Mormons. Text of Bismarck's SpeecJi. Beblk, January 29. Prince Bismarck, in the debate in the Prussian Landtag on the expulsion of the Poles from Germany, said the Poles were constantly engaged in intrigues in-trigues against the government, and had made the most steady annoyance to Prussia. By acting as accomplices of the opposition in the German Parliament they effected a majority against the government, and the Crwn conld do nothing else than deny the demand of such majority or destroy the evil element which made the majority possible. CHE POLISH AGITATION IN GEEMAKY, Bismarck said, always appeared to him an element of danger, and had compelled him to keep his eyes nponBussia. The Poles had been constantly, and not always nnsnccess-fully, nnsnccess-fully, endeavoring to set foreign States against Prussia. "Hence," continuod the Chancellor, "we have determined to buy out all the real estate owned by the Polish nobles in Prussian Poland and place German Ger-man colonists on the land hitherto occupied by the expelled p9ople. In order to make colonization inure permanently to the benefit ben-efit of the empire, the colonists will be PBOHILITED rEOM.MABBXINQ POLES. The cost of the undertaking will be about 300,000,003 marks (about $75,003,030), but the State will lose only about ten per cent, of this, the loss made necassary by the exigencies exi-gencies in the case of buying out an alien class and reselling to Germans, while the gain to the Empire will bo immeasurable. The government," said the Chancellor, with great animation, "will never concede the restoration restora-tion of Poland, nor a hair's breadth in that direction. The Poles played a suspicious part in the Kulturcampf. "Vho3oever refnses to help to protect and maintain the state is NOT ENTITLED TO CLAIM ANYTHING From the State. As for me, I am ready to Bave my country, although it costs my head and honor. If any body dares attack the Prussian frontiers, I shall say, like Gladstone, Glad-stone, 'hands off.'" Kef erring to the insinuation-that the government's religious prejudices had a great influence in its treatment treat-ment of the Poles, ' Bismarck said : "Religion "Re-ligion is in no way connected with the expulsion. ex-pulsion. As a policy of kindness failed, it becomes necessary to reduce the Polish element ele-ment in Germany and increase the German element. This is the -EAL SEASON FOB EXPULSION, And the government has determined to persist per-sist in this work, despite of the Reichstag. -In conclusion, I will say that before allowing allow-ing the Fatherland to be endangered, I would counsel the Emperor to make the Federal Government independent of the obstructionists ob-structionists now in the Beichstag, as far as the constitution and laws of Germany would permit, for I would hold any Minister to be a coward who should hesitate to stake everything every-thing to save his Fatherland from danger." The Chancellor's speech was the general topic of I conversation in the capital. It is generally conceded that the speech is equally capable of being interpreted to foreshadow fore-shadow either the dissolution of the Reichstag Reich-stag or a coup d'etat. THE OCCASION OF BISMiBS-'s SPEECH , "Was the discussion of a resolution introduced intro-duced Saturday last, expressing satisfaction at the passage in the speech from the throne promising measures for the protection of German interests in East Prussia.
