ANOTHER inspection of the battle
fields near fredericksburg with refer.
ence to making q national park OF
them, was made yesterday by those in
terested in the success of that object.
Why any Virginians, except those who
have lands to sell at high prices, should
want the battle fields that mark the
cause they and their fathers lost, trans
formed into national parks, is passing
strange. Human nature i%nclines to the
belief that instead of adjoining and en-
b~ellishing those fields, they would pre-
fer that an earthquake would destroy
and obliterate them. But these are
curious times, to old-time people.

Washington, but as yet the health au-

A few years ago the New England cotton
mills were in such straits, the outlook
for the industry in that part of the country
was so gloomy, that predictions were made
by men who had given the matter serious
thought that the industry would never be
able to resume its former status aud that
the condition of the employees of these mills
would steadily grow worse instead of be ter
And after all when the gloom, the depres.
sion, and the panic of those years of free
trade and free trade agitation is recalled it
Is not strange that the few outside obstacles
which presented themselves should seem
quite insurmountable. But when we look
at the same industry today what do we see
but the mills all running to their fullest
capacity, while this very week seventy five
thousand employees are enjoying an in
crease In waaes of ten per cent, an increase
coming too, at the very time of the year
when 1t will be most thankfully received
and would be least likely to come unless

some sixty thousand more operatives will
receive a similar advance In wages and
within a space Of less than two weeks one
hundred seventy one thousand Of these New
England mill employees will have received
an advance In wages which will aggregate
abou: sos, 600 per week or an increase OF
about S., 500, 900 per year. This viii! place
wages again at the very top notch, the
highest that they have ever been, and that,
too, with better prospect for further
rise than for any adverse change. With
The memory of the long time it has taken
to return TO the good wages of former pro
'e ,tiop years,it is hardly probable that many
OF the cotton mill operatives will vote next
year for any further experimenting with the
policy which has tor its first move the cut

number of those who can get work at any

Of the Right Kind.

An announcement which came from
Washington late Wednesday should be one
mere subject for congratuation among ali
patriotic aud bread spirited people who.
whethsr they approve of our retention of
the island of Cuba or not, wish neverthe-
less to see the island enjoy return of
prosperity such as it never had In even lis
palmiest days. The announcement is, in
brief, that General Leonard Wood, the
man who as governor OF Santiago province
wrought miracles I'm its condition in less
than year, had been assigned to duty as
military commander of Cuba and governor
of the island.
General Leonard Wood is one of the
very choicest specimens of the best Ameri-
can manhood of today. Several months
ago he declined the offer of a $50 600 a yeat
position as the president of a company in
Washington because he believed he had a
work to do in Santiago de Cuba even tho 1t
was at a pecuniary sacrifice few men would
feel called upon to endure. At that time
| The TIMES called attention 10 the feeling
of patriotism and bopefulness which such
action should arouse in all good citizens and
now again 1t Is glad to see that the
goverpOrship OF the entire island is to be
confded to man of the ability and the
broad sympathy of General Wood.
With men of the breadth of character,
the sympathy, and ability of General Wood
at the head of affairs In the islards so
recently placed In our keeping, and with
proper support behind them in congress,
there should be no fear that expansion will
bring anything but blessings to the inhabit-
ants of the isles which must acknowledge
our power. And In bringing the blessings
of liberty, good government, and prosperity
to them, the effect can not fail to be reactive
and to increase our own blessings proper
tlonately. The white mans burden may
seem heavy at times, but the realization Of
the part we are playing in helping on the
progress of the worid-its bettermeDt In
every way-is worth all the extra burden
il imposes. 1t is the White Mans Burden
today, but some day VIII come the White
Mans Reward, and even today tine thought
OF the part the AnglO SaxoD race has in
carrying out the Divine plan for tho evolu-
ton of the races, and nf All society, is re-
ward high indeed for nonlpr minds.
