ALLEN DAVIS. The ToLL-GATH-
ERER

Out the National Road, two miles east
of Wheeling, there is a toll house in
which lives an elderly AMI honest
couple. Mr.. ALIEN DAVIS and his faith

been there, day and night, Sundays and
week days, attending strictly aud mod
sstly 10 their duties Of taking in the tolls
from passers.by-Ind once u month

depository. For nine wears Mr. DAVIS
has been performing this monotonous
labor for compensation upon which a
more numerous family could scarcely be
fed and clothed, and his returns OF tolls
show that the confidence reposed in
him has not been betrayed.
During the nine years prior 70 his ap-
pointment, the total sum o! 500, 9S2, was
turned into the treasury. About the
time Of his accession, the tolls on the
road were reduced 20 per cent, vet, not
withstanding this great reduction and
the further fact that the street car line
has taken much driving oil the road,
Mr.. DAVIS has turned over SIS ella

there can be no possible cool reason as

Public Works will no doubt continue

MONEY MATTERS.

The collapse Of the srtifeislly inflicted
stock market in New York is simply
the old story over again, and it is strange
that these bull and bear fights among
the stock gamblers should have. any
great influence upon the money market
beyond their own circle. 1t is, at best,
but a temporary advantage OF the bulls
over the bears or rTee rersn. The big
operators put up the price OF stocks and
keep them mp as long as it suits them'
aud when the proper time arrives, they
let them drop and the sheep are sheared
:csin. When Rufus Hatch sold hisseat
in the New York stock Board, the other
dav, for $4,000, remarking that there
was going to be a big walking match very
soon and he purposed to start in time,
he only manifested little more sagacity
than the younger lambs OF the fold who
happened TO be in the same box with
himself. 1t is tine game OF big fish swal-
low little fish, with which the country
has little 10 do. The bank interest,
however, are using it for all, and more,
than il is worth to influence the defeat
of the luEding bill. The reaction that
seems TO have suddenly come about IN
Congress among the supporters OF that
measure, show what a power the banks
are la this country, aud how potent
factor money has become even in the
matter OF general legislation. II the
banks succeed in defeating the measure,
il il plain case of coercion. 1t is not
that any new developments have been
made as to the operations OF the bill
which make its adoption impolitic or in-
furious, but simply that ;Ee money in.
terests opposed to it have allied to de-
feat il. Ii there was little more
OF the spirit manifested by Senator
PLUME, there would be no delay in the
passage Of the bill. He is reported to
have said: III am national bank
president, so can speak without preju-
dice. / tell you the crisis has come
when we shall see whether the banks
run the government or the government
the banks. think the government has
right 10 fix the rate OF interest it will
pay, and it is no business Of any set of
men. 1t makes no difference to the
people i; Wall street gamblers DO lose
money or railroad stocks stop rising.
Ii would make difference ii the hoes
in Western cornfislds should stop, and
it is with the producers that the pros
perity OF the country rests. Let the
bottom fall out of it, if It will. II is an
artificial movement to cOerce the COVER
ment."
