ANNOUNCEMENT. The Courier with this issue inaugurates some changes of a sub stantial character which, we hope, will be approved by our readers as improvements. In the make-up and appearance of this issue of The Courier, and subsequent issues are to be equally as attractive, we confess to have a feeling of pride, conscious as we at e that there are few, if any, handsomer papers in the country. It should be re membered in this connection that The Courier, unliko nearly all papers of its class, is produced in its entirety at home. Wo use no plate matter, so popular as an expense-saving medium, every line of type being set in our own office by our own men. We have nothing to say of the contents; but we hope our efforts in this direc tion have not been entirely in vain. Every newspaper in the city has lifted its voice against the corruption of jurors in Lancaster county except the Journal. To our esteemed contemporary "one truth is clear, whatever is is right,' particularly if "whatever is" happens to have good backing. Now that the question of the succession to Senator Manderson appears to be settled, the query, Who will succed Mayor Weir? nsrs and invites attention. It is, perhaps, superfluous to remark that'-the successor to Mr. Weir must be, or will be, a republican; but theio is one fact that should not be lost sight of; the next mayor of Lincoln must be a man without any frills or nonsense, a man who will give tho city a business-like administration who will not in dulge in reform with his mouth on such a large scale but who will, achieve actual results. Now that election is over, and the Chinese and Japanese are get ting less bloodthirsty, and Mr. Cleveland is pursuing his duck shoot ing without interruption, it is to be hoped that the charity dispensing agents or agencies in this city should partake of the general amnesty and good feeling. There is a wide gup between Elder Howe and the Charity Organization society through winch many donations of money and supplies go to undeserving quarter&y.and it would bo to the advantage of all concerned if the society and tho elder could come together. A comparison of the votes cast on Tuesday throughout the country with those cast two years ago would furnish a Jiple material for the man who would prove the fickleness of the American people. States which gave big democratic pluralities at the presidential election now give much greater republican pluralities. The tidal wave which swept with so much force two years ago, now sweeps back with broader stroke. Susceptible voters were told in the The result of tho election is a triumph for Rosowntor as evon his bitterest enemies must admit. Tho triumph is emphasized by tho fact that republican victories wero so general all over tho country, and that in thisntato tho only signiticant republican defeat waH that of the candidate whom he opposed. Tho railroad companies assist ed in the triumph by insisting on naming tho candidate for govern or, thus making it easy for Rosowater to accomplish his purpose. The hatred for this hateful antagonist will lo increased by tho events of this week. If Mr. Rosewater's purposes wero only as high minded as his success in material things is apparent, the public would respect him greatly; but few peoplo contend that ho is animated by any but the most selfish and corrupt motives, and the only admiration there is the admiration that success of any sort calls forth. Rose water is just as despicablo as ho was before the election; but ho is now enabled to add a new feather to his escutheon of mingled in famy and success. Mr. Bryan will not remain as tho editor-in chief of tho World Herald any considerable length of time. In this connection it may be stated that there is a strong probability that the World Herald will be a republican newspaper in tho noar future. Mr. Hitchcock may or may not remain the business manager of tho paper in the event of a chango of base. One plan contemplates his retention in the business office. Mr. Metcalfe, the bright editorial writer who has done so much to brighten the pages of the World-Herald would much rather be a republican than anything else, and his "political pot" would boil just as easily to republican music as any other. Should tho protest against Rosewaterism, which in all tho years of affliction, has never been so earnest as now, take tangible and effect ive form in the conversion of Mr. Hitchcock's paper into a republi can organ, or tho establishment of a new republican newspaper, tho Bee will be dealt a blow from which it will bo hard to recover. There is a general feeling that the Bee, in any event, has seen its best days. By its own figures it has lost materially in circulation in the last year, and it is an open secret, that the Slate Journal has made very heavy inroads upon its business in all parts of the stato.
