The Liberty Bell.
Washington Observer.

Washington Observer.
At q meeting uf the Worlds Fair Com
mission held Harrisburg OH Thursday
it was decided to take the old Liberty
Bell to st. Louis. Governor Pennypacker
was opposed to the movement, but was
able only to control six votes, while there
we're sixteen In favor. The Governor
thinks the Bell is too sacred relic to be
hauled around over the country. On the
other hand the Bell in a large sense be-
longs to the whole country, and rs many
of the people as possible should have the
privilege of seeing and touching it. We
well remember how it was with the Bell at
the Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1893. 1t
had its position in the center of the broad
entrance to the Pennsylvania Building,
and there it sat, guarded by two giant
policemen from Philadelphia; and it was
worth while to stand to one side and watch
the crowds flock in 10 see and reverently
lay their hands for a moment on that pre-
cious old relic. The sight of the Bell to
the hundreds of thousands Of young peo-
pie, especially the young people from the
West-that vast region so rich in re-
sources and intelligent people, but Lacking
in historical associations and patriotic
traditions-7as an inspiration to patriot
ism, the influence of which will never
cease to be felt. Yes, by all means let
the old Bell 90 to st. Louis.

THE YAlU RIVER
1t Has Many Possibilities for Commerce,
But Is Difficult to Navigate.
nlOnWeaIth,

Angus Hamilton in the London Chronicle"
The Yalu River, a picturesque stream,
some 800 miles in length, is the dividing
line between Korea and Msnchuria on the
northwest frontier. 1t is navigable 10y ma
tive craft as far as Shinkuihuo, but steam
ers are unable to proceed beyond AntuDg,
the port to which the Russians are now
devoting considerable attention. Some
miles below Antung, but situated on the
same bank, and lying close within the
estuary of the river, is the port of Tatung-
kao, where, when the weather permits,
cargoes for Antung are sometimes dis
charged. Tatungkao, however, is difficult
of approach, and as a general rule steam
ers unload and receive their cargoes at
Antung, port of great promise in the
near future.
The estuary of the Yalu River is broad,
but the anchorage of Tatungkao is exposed
to the northeast winds, which at times
blow with great force. The stream has a
rapid current, and, owing to the presence
of innumerable shoals and sand banks,
presents serious obstacles to successful
navigation. Islands, both small and large,
appear in its course, and high hills, COW
cred with bush and timber, break away
from the banks.
From early December until the end of
February the stream lie frozen. Until late.
ly the region of the Yalu was almost an
unknown land, but with the advent of the
Russians many changes in the character OF
tue district have taken place. On the Ko-
rean shore lumber camps have been
formed while at Tatungkao and Antung
prosperous native settlements have sprung
into existence. The river teens with ma
tive craft, which ply between tue mouth
and the higher reaches, while legs Of tim
bsr, chained the one to the other, float
leisurely down the stream.
The view at the estuary of the river is
perhaps not very prepossessing. A long
vista of mud fats extends mile upon mile
along the river bank, but silent and rap.
id transformation has been effected within
the last few months, the great possibilities
of the Yaiu Valley for commercial devel
opment attracting alike foreign and native
capital.

ABOUT FARM WAGES
Why the Number of Abandoned Farms
Is Increasing.
The Norristown Herald"

The Norristown Herald"
A certain proportion of the farmers Of
the country do their own work. Owning
their own farms, thew cultivate them with
little help outside of their own families.
The census reports show that the entire
number of hired laborers employed in the
country is not sufficient to allow one such
laborer to every farm. II is probable,
however, that the situation would be en-
tirely different we're IL possible to hire
farm labuftls ut a reasonable rate. Farm
ers. as q rule, and members Of their taml'
lie,, are o,crworked, especially in tue
busy season of the year, including seed
time and harvest, b, cause Of the difficulty
of securing competent help to plant and
cultivate the crops and gather In the har-
vest.
The increase in farm wages is a hardship
for which there is very little compensation
to those who manage farms whether as
owners or as tenants. The character OF
farm labor has not appreciated in accord
auce with the rise in wages, but has rather
deteriorated. For this reason the outlook
for farming is less hopeful than it would
be we're there a supply Of farm labor at all
equal to the demand, especially in busy
seasons of the year. So long as hired help
is so difficult to obtain, farmers and their
families will continue to be overworked,
and the tendency to abandon the calling
will continue, and increasing the number
of abandoned farms in all sections of the
country

The cost of the first census taken of the
population of the United States was not
quite $45, 900. The cost of the census
taken in 1900 was $13, ,439. The cost
of the first census per head of the popula-
ton was little over cent; in 1900 the
average cost had risen to II cents. The
decided increase in the cost is explained
by the great extension of the census and
of the details associated with it.
