The Democratic Press

The fact that the New York Journal Of
Commerce, heretofore conservative Dem
ocratic paper, has formally withdrawn
from the field of politics, is made the sub
ject Of appropriate comments in tho Gin
cinnati EaqEirsr of to-day. 1t is no long
or the part OF common sense, much less OF
common prudence, to ignore the fact that
the freedom of the press is wholly annihi-
lated by thess who now WELD authority
in this country. By the Constitution and
laws, it is free; but by the arbitrary will
of one man, sustained by ample force to
make certain the execution of his behests,
the editor who dares to disagree with the
administration, and makes known his rea-
sons therefor, is in peril of life. liberty,
and property. A majority Of the people
Of the United States, by the vote just Civ
en-, have accorded their sanction to the eI-
ercise of this arbitrary power, and have
put the seal Of thsir approval on the de-
struetiOn of what thsy once cherished AS q
thing of inestimable value. The Journal
Of COMmSves has done well. The editors
would have done better. however. il they
had wholly retired from position which,
however profitable pecuAiSrily, must con-
StAntly remind them OftAS degradation to

deem il consistent with sslf-rsSpsct to writs
under fear Of punishment If we do not
writs to please our rulers. Nor, in view

SQUEEZING While we are growing very
sensible, indeed, in the matter Of dress as far
as boots, Balmoral skirts, warm stockings and
high necks, we are degeneraling in some mat
ters quite as important The corset is now a
necessary part of a woman's wardrobe, and,

tug at the laces until her breath becomes
short, aud she feels il necessary 10 refrain
from anything like comfortable meal. We
say nothing against wellshaped corset worn

cravat Injuries the appearance of the figure
instead OF Improving it, and people wear cor
sets that they may have small waists. All we
can say 49, don't squeeze, whatever you 90;
you may have small waists, but you are expos;

unable to walk a mile at once filthy, dinner
