FROM THE GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Arizona greets the new year with
bright assurances of great development and
prosperity and the earnest hope of admission
into the Union as a State during the present
session OF Congress. No nation has been so
prosperous as ours during the year just gone
and although our happiness has been tenn
pered with great grief over the assassina-
tion of President Mckinley our government
stands unshaken; its affairs are conducted
with the highest ability and courage and its
strength is steadily increasing CONNER
cially we have ~ peer. We have escaped the
trade depressions which have prevailed in
Europe. especially in Germany, Italy and
England, and the new year promises con-
tinued and increased prosperity. for which
God be thanked. y. O. MURPHY.

NEW YEAR GREETINGS
CHANCES INTO THE FUTURE
AND COlLILENT ON THE PAST
BY WE'LL KNOWN MEN.
FROM A MODEL DISTRICT ATTORNEY.


To thu Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. II gives me great pleasure to respond
"a ,ba courteous invitation of The Tribune
n convey a greeting for the New Year.
We nav well look forward with happy ex-
notation TO the ensuing twelve months.
not only because Of the great prosperity that
eyisrs throughout the land, but also because
it must be evident toall that there is rapidly
develcung a higher appreciation of the prin-
ciples and advantages Of our form of govern
ment.
I think to the Intelligent obser r it will
he apparent that the victory in November in
the hght for deeency means more than a
spasmodic effort. and that not only the peo-
PIE but also the politicians at last realize
that men nonored with public Office have
confded to them a great trust, and must by
their conduct show the highest apprecia-
ton OF the responsibility thus created.
It is also gratifying to note that the great
and conservative journals like The Tribune
no longer stand alone, but that there is
clearly an appreciation Of the great duty
cast upon the voice Of the. people" as the
pablic press might properly be called. and
greater effort is made TO encourage a higher
standard of civic duty and morality.
1t is my earnest wish that The Tribune. as
# exists to-day. may be able 10 celebrate
centennial filled with years of intelligent and
useful service to the people.

FROM THE GREAT LIBRARY BUILDER.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The new year, 1902, still sees both
branches Of our English speaking race en-
gagged in forcing distant peoples To accept
their rule. IT is a long, tedious and seldom
successful task. Even Poland, once over
come. shows a revival Of the unquenchable
desire for nationality. Let US hope that 1908
will find both the republic and the monarchy
engaged in the noble work of giving 10 Boer
and Filipino the blessings OF Independent
seIf-government. ANDREW CARNEGIE.

FROM THE FATHER OF GREATER NEW


To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Looking back at the first year OF the
new century, 1 think we may felicitate our
selves as a nation on the great predominance
Of good over evil fortune tnat has character
lied the tWeVemonth now closing. Our
greatest misfortune haSs5oen the death Of
President Mckinley. unde peculiarly painful
circumstances. while the nation was still
vibrant with the utteranes of his broad and
progressive nolicy. The absence of shock in
the change Of administrations is q renewed
testimony TO the stability of American dem
ocratic institutions.
The greatest national blessing of the year
has been the CONTINUED prosperity of the
people.
IN the industrial world the most encour-
seing sign has been the apparently increased
harmony between employer and employed
and the notable steps taken toward the es-
Enlistment Of arbitration for the peaceful
solution of their disputes.
In science the great progress in the prac-
teal application OF wireless telegraphy
seems TO me to be the most striking feature
Of the year.
in philanthropy the superb generosity of
Alr. Carnegie, not only to New-York CITY,
but TO other communities also, stands out in
lustrous prominence.
Looking to the new year. I should say that
among the nations first duties were the
construction Of an interoceanic canal, the
laying Of a Pacific cable and the judicious
encouragement of our merchant marine, in
order that we may occupy and maintain
proper relation to the great undeveloped
field Of Oriental commerce which naturally
belongs to US
in GraTl hi IL 1ff hoe
been blessed with abounding prosperity dur
Ing the last year, conditions Of urban life
have been neither so bad nor so good as they
might have been. One Of the greatest mis-
fortunes OF New-York City is the possession
of her public utilities and franchises by pri-
Nate corporations and the contemptuous in
difference Of their managers toward public
rights and couveniences and the ordinary
decencies Of life. These franchises should
have been utilized to decrease taxation, and
~. to the enrichment of a few individuals
at he expense Of the taxpayers

ofhclI prodigality and popular complaisance
for n one year but for many-be in any
material degree improved during the coming
year W. shall have cause for grateful
thanks 10 those who shall have brought the
needed reforms to pass.

SCOTT INTRODUCES A BILL.
he Wants Civil Service Law Amend
ed.

WAsHINGToN Dec. Ex-senator
Scott, of West Virginia, today in
troduced bill for the amendment
of the civil service law. 1t provides
that all persons employed in the
classified service shall serve a term
of six years, and that after the eI.
plrstion of their term they shall be
eligible to another six year term
onl'. Railway mail clerks are ex-
empted and provision Is made for
their permanent employment. The
bill also provides that the classified
service shall include only persons
whose salaries range from 5000 TO
81, sOO.-Ex.
We truly hope Senator SCOTS
bill will become law. 1t is a step
In TIE right direction. There never
was a greater humbug than the So
called Civil Service. 1t should be
wiped out entirely and if the Demo.
Gratis get power again they will make
short work of repeating the perni-
cious and unjust law. 1t Is the pro-
per thing to appoint none but COM
petent persons to fill the various
positions in the government, but
the civil service does not always
secure competent employes-not by
any means-and then it is not right,
1t is not just, for few persons to
hold Office all their lives This Ia
not the way to encourage the young
and rising generation to equip them
selves for the honorable positions
that must be filled in abe govern
