TO the Editor of the Observer:

not been advised OF the fact that this

Scarcity of Labor.

A letter from Durham says: within
the past few months quite a number of
negroes have left here, and it Is hard
to obtain labor. male or female. MANY
contractors are unable to complete
work at specified times. and a large
number of families are unable to obtain
cooks and house help. A movement Is
on foot to get white help from the
North to supply the places of the
negroes who have left.

Brief Mention of Events of Interest Throughout the Known
 World,

The progress in metallurgy is one of ths greatest achievements of applied science. The Mining X Scientific Press says, in Utah silver has been produced at cost of 23l cents per ounce: in Montana copper is produced at a cost of 6 cents per pound: in Cal ifornia ore averaging S4 cents per ton in gold has been worked at a profit of cents per ton.
 A struggle is going on between two bright and shining lights for the honor of sitting next to Bryan when he shall have taken his place in the White House. It is foreordained that either James Creelman, MT. HearstS great war correspondent, or Willis J. Abbot, head of the Bryan literary bureau, will be secretary, but which one is yet to be determined.
 Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, head of the great banking house of Europe, is quoted as saying: "One of the greatest dangers before the United States is expansion. While your coun- try has vast, undeveloped, rich terri tories, for you to seek additional re- responsibilities in foreign lands is un- questionably an error, and would in the end lead to international compli- cations, in which Americas credit would greatly suffer.

''GOlden Rule" Jones Replies to Hanna. EN-Senator Fassett
 on the Outlook.

TOLEDO, O., Sept. l4- Mayor Jones gave out the following reply tonight over his own signature to what Senator Hanna had to say regarding Mayor Jones declaration to support Mir. Bryan; The associated press today quotes Senator Hanna as saying; "I don't care whether Mayor Jones takes the stump or not When he comes out for Bryan it means Mckinley has lost just one vote and no more.
 ''l desire to reply as a tacit admis- sion at least that l own myself and and that is all l claim. l think that Senator Hanna and the country will learn by the vote that Is registered against bossism, partyism, milItarism and imperialism that there are more free, independent voters in the Unitel States today than in any other electio n III our history, and the prospects for liberty and equality are consequently brighter.
 TOLEDO, Sept l6-Ex-Senator A. D. Fassett, republican, says that nothing IS more certain than that Bryan will carry Lucas county and the 9th con gressional district. Mir. Fassett says the republicans here cannot swallow imperialism. The republicans who supported Mayor Jones, he asserts, will follow his lead almost to man in sup port of Bryan. The following are Mir. Fassetts views on imperialism, and he claims that 9S percent of the republi- cans throughout the state who voted for Mayor Jones tor governor share the same opinion, and will vote accord ingly
 There isn't man on top of Gods green earth today, capable of reading the Constitution of the United States and Declaration of Independence, who does not know that if We hold the Phil ippine islands as subject territory and govern them as foreign possessions we cease to be republic and become an empire. It is not the coronation or proclamation that marks the emperor, but imperialistic acts. If the United States shall exercise authority over subject country then it can do all that Russia, Germany, England or any monarchy can do. If, as it is claimed. Old Glory may float over colonial pos sessions, the Declaration of Independ- ence again becomes lie. All men will not be equal, because Old Glory must then float over the citizen Tn Ohio, as it does over the subject in Luzon. The party idea has carried the people of the party that bathed the flag in the blood of patriots that all might be free and equal, to point where they become defenders and ad- vocates of the doctrine that all men are not created free and equal but that cer- tain of us who live in the state of Ono shall be citizens of the United States and that people who live in the Philip pine islands shall be subjects of the United States
 The gold democrats who supported Mckinley in 1896 are back in line with the democrats.

Pingree's Deep Disgust.

Gov. Hazen $. Pingree, of Michigan was in Chicago the other day. He did not visit republican headquarters, al though they were only few steps from his hotel Gov Pingree reiter. ated his statement made little while ago: ''Of course l will vote for Me. Kinley-and hold my nose, too. {" While asserting that he was born re- publican, and couldn't possibly think of voting the democratic ticket, Gov.
 Pingree, as the Chicago News has 1t, lndulged Tn some very explosive talk about the present republican admins tration. Mckinley will be elected, though. These alarmists on both sides, that are trying to make out that the country will go to the devil if the other side wins, talk as if this republic were such flimsy thing that one man conld destroy 1t. It will all come out in the wash, and Hannaism will get all It deserves, Mark Hanna and the trusts are running the republican party, mean what I say and say what l mean. Some day there will be n big reaction and you will see where NIT. Hanna and the trusts will get of
