d1GA PRICES AND GEMS.
Though the United States in COM
mon with other countries, in the last
year has faced high and advancing
prices, there appears to be no lack of
money for luxuries. The report of the
federal appraiser at New York shows
that the importation of jewels
through that port were the third
highest in the country's history The
value of gems received at New York
was $39, 445,29S and estimating this
figure as 95 Per cent of the total re-
ceipts the importation for the year,
ended June 80, totaled, roughly, SAL
10000 The gem market, however,
reflects but slightly the general trade,
commercial and industrial conditions.
An advance in food prices means but
little to the chief customers of the
jewelers.. But the thriving market for
gems does show confidence of con-
tinued income from investments in in
dustry and trade. The report reveals
comparative property in the jewelers.
trade. That the demand for gems is
heavy is shown by the formal an
nouncement of a per cent advance,
and, in addition, there has been
general tendency toward rising prices
The report, in recording an increasing
demand for pearls, shows that impetus

PEACE AGAIN IN CUBA.


With the defeat and killing of Gen.
Ivonet, partner of Estenoz, also dead,
in the revolt of portion of the col
ored population of Cuba against the
Gomez government at Havana, the
revolutionary movement which for
time made imminent a third inter-
vention by our government in the af-
fairs of the island republic collapses.
The Morua law, which forbids the or
ganization of a political party along
purely racial lines, remains on the
statute books of the Havana govern
ment and the fact is once again estab-
lished that any attempt to overthrow
stable order in Cuba can not succeed.
The result is another vindication of
the policy of the United States in
insisting, through the Plat amend
ment to the Cuban constitution, that
we would guarantee good government
in Cuba. Had it not been for that in
sistence, and the acquiescence of the
Cubans in what amounts to a virtual
protectorate by us over their desti-
MES, this latest revolt might we'll have
resulted in making of Cuba another
Haiti, at least to the extent of putting
in peril the right of the Cuban peo-
pie as a whole to select their own gov
ernment.-Philadelp Press.
