THE CLEVELAND PORTRAIT.

The Brooklyn Eagle" long an able and con-
s,stent supporter of Mr. Cleveland. notes with
hearty approval the suggestion that a memorial
OF the late President be placed in the Executive
Chamber at Albany, where the work was done
which made him a national hgure and paved the
way to his two terms in the White House. Yes
terday 1t said:
The New-York Tribune has done q manly and
generous thing in moving to secure public sub
scriptons with which to obtain a portrait OF
Grover Cleveland. to be placed in the Executive
Chamber in Albany. All subscriptions 1t re
ceives Will be acknowledged and will go to the
credit of the patriotism OF those who make
them The Tribune certainly started work
in which all enlightened Americans can eladly
unite with it.
It is curious that nearly quarter Of a century
should have been allowed to elapse after Mr..
Cleveland was called from the Governorshlp to
higher office without his picture having been
placed in the gallery Of portraits Of former Gov
ernors especially in view Of his great personal
following and the widespread regard for him,
not as a mere official and political leader, but
as a man Of conscience. whose character and
example should be kept before the people as an
inspiration to good citizenship. With the ex-
ception Of thesa saaic Goyernor Higgins. the por-
trait Of every former Governor back to Roswell
P Flower is In the Executive Chamber, together
with those of a large majority Of the earlier
Governors. and it would be highly credltabe to
the state to have a complete collection OF its
executives both for its historic interest and as
a deserved memorial to the individuals who thus
served the people. Certainly there should be no
vacant space left on the wall where Mr.. Cleve-
lands portrait belongs. The amount already 80
promptly subscribed by citizens. many OF whom
were not political supporters Of Mr. Cleveland g
policies should be considerably increased so as
to make possible the purchase OF portrait Of
the highest quality and to give the tribute a
thoroughly representative character.

MILITARY AERONAUTICS.

The chief signal officer of the United States
is to be commended for his endeavors to obtain
airshtps of thoroughly modern design for the
use Of the army. In the past captive balloons
have rendered valuable service. They did at
Santiago Far better work can be done, how
ever with airships which are self-propelled
and can be steered- Several foreign nations
have taken the necessary steps to procure such
craft for military purposes. and but for Gen
eral Aliens recent activity this country might
soon find itself seriously lacking In aeronautic
eoupment From the series OF tests about to
be made at Fort Myer, near Washington. much
will be learned, even If they do not clear the
wav for such a choice as would make large
orders judcious
A dispatch printed in The Tribune ON Friday
indicates that four arships will undergo ac-
ceptance trials within the next few weeks All
are American productions, and two types OF
machine represented among them. One
is q dirgibe gas bag. of the kind which Is
regarded with exceptional favor abroad just
now, and three are aeroplanes. General Allen
is said to have greater confidence in the
dirigible bs loon than in the aeroplane, but
with wise forethought he has arranged to ex-
pertinent with both. II msy be doubted
whether the evolution of the style OF airship
with which the late Professor Langley was
associated has yet been carried as far as that
of the one which Santos Dumont did go much
to develop. In other words, while slight I'M
provements in the latter may vet be made,
greater ones in the former may be feasible. II
So correct estimate can hardly be reached for
several years. At any rate something more
than mere national pride IS involved in a
revelation Of what the Wright brothers, Mr.
Herring and Mr.. Scott can do
Many things must be considered In determin-
ING tbe relative merits Of the two types of air
ship. Facility of ascent and descent, ease in
man9uvrng stability In gusty weather, speed
and radius of action exceedingly impOr-
tant qualities, but not the only essentials
Whether a military airship is employed for
scouting only engages in more aggressive
operations. it is liable 10 be attacked when

DOMINICAN RESULTS.

The examination which Is about to be for
maIIy made into the operations and results OF
the American receivership of Dominican Gus
toms and service OF the debt Will reveal q
state Of affairs which should be 8 cause OF pride
to every American We say It will reveal such
a state Of affairs. but we might perhaps prefer
ably say that it will confirm the revelation
which has already been made. For what Is be
ing done in and for Santo Domingo Is no secret
From time to time reports Of 1t have been made.
and only few days ago our special Washing
ton correspondence presented an authoritative
summary which showed the great success OF the
undertaking for the rehabilitation of Dominican
finances.
The original plan, It Will be recalled, provided
for the appropriation Of a certain percentage Of
the customs receipts for the service Of the debt
Under that arrangement, from April l. 1905. to
August 81, 1907 no less sum than $3,31S,-
a46 81 was deposited In the sinking fund In New
York. Since the latter date a new arrangement
has been in force, under which the fixed sum
Of 100000 month Is turned into the sinking
fund, and accordingly thus far S1!Oo0.ooO has
been added. OF the total nearly onehaff,e or
about S2oOOOOO has already been actually paid
out in cancellation of Indebtedness. The credit
ors of the republic have agreed to accept In set
tlement 20 per cent In cash and so per cent In
5 per cent bonds, Of which $2O.OOO,OOO have
been issued. The interest on these bonds Will
amount to 81 100000 year, leaving only $780,
coo of the present yearly appropriation for ap-
plication to the principal of the debt But even
that slow payment will be incomparably better
than running into debt at the rate Of million
year. as the republic did before the American
receivership, and there is reason to expect that
before long the revenues of the island will be
so increased through growing prosperity under
stable and solvent government that larger ap-
propriations for the debt can be made.
Now this splendid work for Justice, progress
and civilization has been accomplished without
incurring a single Of the dreadful conse-
uuences which were freely predicted at the time
of the making OF the compact It las cost the
United States nothing at all It has involved
us In no war nor controversy Of any kind and
has placed us under no embarrassing obligation.
But it has rescued a neighboring republic from
bankruptcy and chaos, has put it ON the high
road TO prosperity and constitutional order and
has assured the satisfactory settlement OF all
1ust claims against 1t. 1t would be difficult to
find record Of more praiseworthy dealings OF
one nation with another.
