sent last night to Golfers Weekly, the
paper in which Mr.. Bryans views were
printed:
ITO the editor of Golfers Weekly, New
York:
Il understand that William Jennings
Bryan has made statements in Golfers
Weekly indicating his belief that there is
not only diSsensions among the political
parties here in Cuba, but tat certain fac
ton evinces a revolutionary spirit which is
bound to lead to civil war in our new re-
public If Mr.. Bryan really thought he
heard the distant roll of revolutionary
drums and whispered call to arms in this
island when he was here, then the people
of Cuba, all Of us, have cotton in our ears
Il have received no notices of disturb
ances or of anything except utmost har-
mony among all elements.
Certainly, however our economical stu
alton is extremely bad. / am aware of a
great crying demand throughout the island
among the poorer people for work. At the
same time L have every evidence OF the
peoples patience under great suffering and
am conscious of their confidence in the fu-
ture and of their determination to assist
my administration through this exceeding
ly difficult period.
Il believe Americans will give us the
renef necessary to our prosperity. | thank
you for this opportunity to say that l do
not believe Cuba will ever have civil war.
Our people simply want peace and work
enough to obtain means to live

the sugar plantations are in perfect har-
mony, striving for the country's good.
They have resolved to avoid all disturb
anceS that might prejudice commercial in

BRYAN ON COMING ISSUES.
Still Insists the Money Question is
One of Them

William J. Bryan passed through Kansas
City yesterday en- route from Lincoln, Neb,
to Neosho, Mo, where he lectured last
night.
1T is too early yet to say what the is
sues Will be at the next presidential cam
paign,' he said in reply to a question Il
think that Imperialism will be one of the
principal ones, judging from the action of
the House. The money question will also
come up. AS to what part free silver will
play I cannot say. The republicans fear
to discuss the Fowler bill They saw that
the money question is a corpse, but the
corpse has so much life in it that they
fear to push this bin before election and
have postponed it until the second session
TIE trust question will also come up for
consideration in the next campaign At
the present time democratic chances look
good"

LAWSUITS have been instituted
nv several Gamers in Delaware
against farmers who refused to
deliver tomatoes after having con-
tracted with the packing compan-
les. and we predict that some old
points of law will be made clear to
the people at large on the subject
of contracts. It may be that it was
unfortunate for the grower this
season that he ent d into a con
tract to grow tomatoes; but that is
his own affair and 10 one is to
blame but himself in his judgment
and. because tomatoes were much
! higher on the open market, that !,
no good cause for a grower to dis
regard his honor and break a con
tract. Farmers who will do fllat
will bear watching in other trans
actions, and owners of land WHO
encourage a tenant to be dishones
are dishonest themselves, need no
be surprised to find that they ar
not getting their just share of tn
rents. 1t is natural sequence
the owner winks at dishonorabl
acts; the tenant recognizes the loy
standard of honor of his landlord
and the trick is done. If a grove
contracts, and is treated fair b
the Gamer or buyer, he is in homo
and legally bound to deliver til
+ produce; and if the deal is not
good one, his experience should b
a guide for future action; but b
honest by living up to contract
and compelling the other fellew
live up to his.
