Cologne, December 17. The "citizen and communist" Drigalski, who introduced the censorship, abolished it again, and then threatened to suspend the local newspaper, [Neue Rheinische Zeitung] has, we have just heard, been suspended himself. A pity, a great pity!

Postscript. Misfortune travels fast! Herr Spiegel, Regierungspräsident, also bids us farewell. According to reports current all over the town, he has been dismissed.
