the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company with
those Of It's patrons who since Monday
have acted upder an opinion by Supreme

two scent fares to Coney Island seem to-
night to be nearing an amicable adjust
ment and 1t is expected that by tomorrow

Brooklyn trolley roads will be running un-
der something like normal conditions.

to give a rebate receipt to every person
paying a 10-cent fare. cents to be returned
to the holder IL the court of appeals up
holds the decision Of Justice Gaynor that

II the court should decide that the Brook

in charging double fare. however, the re-
ceipts are to be null and void.

Z CHICAGO. Aug. 1b.-That Chicago is the
home of Pullman cars and that they
should be taxed here was the claim made
today by Corporation Counsel Lewis, when

irregular trips did not exempt 1t from tax
alton in Chicago.
In addition to demanding the taxation
OF the cars, Lewis insisted that the COM
pany pay taxes on $22, 10000 OF capital
stock. s20.OO0.Oo0 surplus and back taxes on
81 $4,000 He also took up the company's s
real estate. some Of which is held by the

case was called by President Upham OF
the board of review. counsel for the COM
pany were unable to answer questions put
TO them by Lewis and the case was there

Dividing the Sheep from The doats


A Washington correspondent to
the Minneapolis Journal says that
president Roosevelt is apparent
ly rapidly dividing the republican
leaders of the country into two
schools, Numerically opposed to
each other. One side is ,exempli-
fed by such men as Elihu Root,
w. Ii. Taft, Geo. B. Corteiyou
and Others, while the other side
finds its illustration in the "prac.
teal politician" as for instance,
Senator Foraker in national poll
tics, Geo. B. Cox ia Ohio, and SO
on. Many who are with the pres
ident at this time are there sim
ply because it is the winning side
just now, and they will be found
on any other side as some new
winner comes forward as the ma
tional leader, but all the same the
distinction between the Roosevelt
conception of public duty and that
Of the practical politician is wide
and deep and remarkable.
"Roscoe Collkling WAS a practi-
cal politician, and he once said OF
Lou Payn, the notorious politi.
clan of New York state:
"'tThe best politician in New
York state
"E!ihu Root, speaking of the
same man Said:

else, perhaps, shows the difference

lican party, ale, of course, intense.
iy hostile to Mr.. Roosevelt, some
times secretly and sometimes OPP
emily, but always hostile
In other words, the change
which is now going on is sort of
separating of the sheep from
the goats. The people have had a
taste of the lule of the practical
politician and are enjoying the
rule of the Roosevelt type, and
we hardly think they care to re.
turn to the old regime.
