There Is doubtless good reason why the Penn
syrania railroad company, which controls the ham
som cabs both here and IN Philadelphia, charges
twenty-five cents JUF either one on t,ro persons
for drive OF mile and half over the rough Stone
rayelncntS OF the latter city, while here with our
smooth asph2ltcd streets, they charge the same
rate for one Passenger and double that ion, t1rO
passengers. for distance OF a mile But win the
company inform the public what the reason Is?
There is doubtless rs good q reason why the com

IHE GRIEVANCE OF THE REAL ESTATE AGENTS.
At meeting OF real estate agents at the Office of
MI Thos E. Waggaman, last evening, Mr. Wag-
gaman was authorized to appoint a committee
to lay the subject OF the license tax imposed on real
estate agents before the proper committees OF Con-
gress. 1t is claimed by the projectors OF the
movement that Congress intended to repeal the
clause taxing them one per cent Of their receipts In
clerical error the tax on photographers was stricken
out. The Commissioners last year finding the law
unrepealed, decided to enforce it.
