RAPID TRANSIT TO BROOKLYN.

For year or two prior to consolidation the
people of Brooklyn were represented as being
almost unanimously opposed TO the project.
There was probably some exaggeration in the
estimate of their hostility which was adopted
and proclaimed by those who assumed charge
of their interests, but we have never doubted
that during the period referred to a large ma
jority Of them would have voted against sur
render of municipal identity if they had had the
chance. After the passage of the charter that
part of the opposition which had been vocifer-
Gus suddenly, though not mysteriously, became
silent. Latterly, however, it has found its
voice again, and Is now urging that the stat
utory union ought to be made organic by the
multiplication of transit facilities over under
the East River In its latest manifestations
this desire has taken form in support Of the
Controllers interesting proposition that the
Rapid Transit Commission should extend its
plans TO include a tunnel railroad from the Bat
terry to South Brooklyn.
Mr. Coler is evidently in earnest. Though
the idea seems TO have been suggested to his
mind by the failure of his efforts TO convert
his colleagues in the city government to his
faith in the general superiority of tunnels to
bridges, his proposal ought not to be disparaged
on that account. On first consideration 1t ap-
pears 10 possess intrinsic merit and we are glad
70 learn tnat Inc COMMISSION is prepared 10
listen in a hospitable spirit to the arguments
which he will present at the special meeting
next Monday afternoon. 1t is said indeed,
that Mr. Orr and Mr.. Rives are already favor
ably inclined toward the plan Of Brooklyn ex-
tension, and do not doubt the legal power Of the
Commission to enlarge its operations In that
manner OF course, this is question which can
not be decided offhand, and which is not I'M
likely TO be taken into court for final determine
ton; but we are glad 10 observe that the Con-
troIIer's project has not thus far aroused the
opposition which it was expected TO encounter.
If this is due TO the discretion of his adyo-
cacy. it is by no means the only proof Of Mr..
Colers growing usefulness public servant
He certainly talks the subject with ex-
celent sense and understanding, and If there is
a disposition on the part Of some of his Brooklyn
neighbors TO make the suggestion of an East
River tunnel road embarrassment rather
tin a help to the main scheme of underground

4 RARE BOOK OF REFERENCE.

It has long been conceded that the next best
thing to the actual possession of knowledge is
knowing where to procure it a moments
notice. Indeed many people constituted
that they would much prefer the latter method
of getting hold of large share of the nforma-
ton for which they have any So inaccu-
rate is the human memory at times that it is
often better to consult record than to at
tempt to carry fact in ones mind. Be
sides there is a vast array of facts relating
to politics, commerce, education religious or
CARNATIONS foreign affairs sports and benevo-
lent and patriotic societies which can only
obtain in this way. because they either not
published in the daily papers at all. not
saved by the reader at the time Of publication.
Hence the need of volume like The Tribune
Almanac and Political Register with its in
fnitely varied contents, all reduced to the least
possible compass and put in the simplest and
most ineligible form.
But the world moves. History is made afresh
every day Parties make new expressions of
purpose New officers are chosen or appointed
in governments and societies. New records are
made in sports. The volume OF trade grows or
diminishes And in countless other directions
change is constantly occurring. 1t thus becomes
necessary that such book OF reference shall
be brought up to date, by the modification of
statements that require revision. the elimina-
ton of matter that has ceased TO possess a live
interest, and the addition of facts that have
only recently become known. Properly to ex-
hibit the progress of the times annual over
hauling of the most thorough character is
needed
All these requirements are met in an
cellent manner by that standard work which,
first under the name OF the Wing Almanac. and
then as The Tribune Almanac, has appeared
annually for than sixty years. or course
in this time it has developed greatly in size
and quality, keeping pace with the advance of
civilization during the same period. critical
inspection Of the Almanac for 1900 now just
issued from the press. will fully justify this
boast and reveal the alertness. thoroughness
and care of its editor. Henry Eckford Rhoades.
Those who are familiar with The Tribune AL
manac will quickly perceive that all OF its
strongest features have been preserved In this
latest number. The same abundant summaries
