He denied that the government had conceded to the Poles nnj thing hovond what came within the scope of the settlement law. It met with the w Ishes of the Poles as regards Polish schools and the church The Poles on their part had also manifested n desire to bring themselves Into closer accord with the government. This desire found expression in the support which the Poles gave the government proposals for increasing the defensive power of Germany. This , the chancellor said , was indeed a pleas ant and surprising change. If the Poles vv ould take the lead upon that conciliation the government of the Germans was rcadj' to follow. Alluding to the suggestion that the amiciablc troutmcnt of the Poles had a latent aim to make pioielvtcs among them , Chancellor Von Cnprlvl scouted the idea tnat the aim of the govcinmcnt was to conciliate the Poles through a sense of justice The speech met with gen eral favor in the house. If no had contracted the conditions of the Poles in Peen with that of their harassed kindred over the Rus sian border the cnaucellor could not have spoken better.

Ho was convinced , ho said , that the greatest danger to the father ! ind was not from without , but from within. He would not refrain from ex posing , but ho certainlj would never say anything to give Ills opponents reason to charge him will attacking the emperor from personal motives. This sort of assurances promises lively times in the reichstag The Hamburger Nachiichten holds that iho death of Count Von Moltko adds to the desire of Germanj' to see the prince in the foio front of politics "A sentiment of dis quiet , " sajs the Nachnchten , "fills the em pire.
