"Neue Rheinische Zeitung" – The "Kölnische Zeitung"

The "Kölnische Zeitung"

["Neue Rheinische Zeitung" No. 145, November 17, 1848]

Cologne, November 16. The editorial board of the "Kölnische Zeitung" in its issue of November 16 <In the "Neue Rheinische Zeitung": November 15> characterizes itself in the following ingenious way:

"In
our vacillation
between fear of anarchy today and fear of reaction tomorrow one is vividly reminded of Luther's saying: 'Man is like a drunken peasant; if you lift him into the saddle on one side, he falls off again on the other'."

Fear is the pathos of the "Kölnische Zeitung".
