WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 0, 1890.

CAN WE BAISE FLAX PROFITABLYt Willi the competition of other countries against them, it is evident that American farmers cannot longer have the world's wheat market all their own way. Wheat will soonor or later cease to be a profitable crop for export. Then farmers must turn their attention to something else.

What shall it be? Probaby it will be several articles. Tho agricultural department at Washington are considering seriously what farmers can best do when wheat ceases to bo the main reliance for ex])ort. They are open to suggestions from any source.

A gentleman in Ireland has already written. Why not raise flax? He has watched the flax culture in America tot years. There used to bo considerable of this staple, but 'the more easily and cheaply worked cotton rooted it out. With the American facility for adapting machinery to manual labor, the gentleman thinks the time has now come when flax may 6e again profitably grown.

Our climate and soil are not unlike that of Germany, which raises flax and manufactures the finest of linens. Flax can undoubtedly be grown fast enough in America, but what will the farmer do with it when ho grows it? If government or some privato corporations would start a plant for manufacturing tho flax and buy what the farmers raised, aud then experiment with it till it became a paying industry, the agriculturist would havo encouragement to persevere. It ii an enterprise that either a state or the national government might properly take hold of. There may be millions in the future for flax.

LDOE TOUKOEE, in "A Bystander's Notes" in the Chicago Iuter-Ooean of lust Saturday writes at length commoudatory of Gen. Low Wallare's suggestions in his report as Chairman of the Board of Visitors of the Military Academy at West Point in regard to tho re organization of the regular army. The lirst object of General Wallace's plan is to make serrioe in the ranks honorable —nay, to make it in every way a deair nblo thing. To this end he proposes that all appointments to West Point be made from tho ranks, by competitive selection. The plan includes details calculated to carry this feature into ef feet, many of them admirable. Some of the leading ones are: Enlistment only between 10 and 20, and always for term of live years a common school education to begin with instruction up to academic grade during four years 009 or more to be selected by merit from the whole body for higher instruction. All others who have oompleted the course to be discharged with certificates or diplomas of attainment. In five years, Judge Tourgee thinks, this plan would make our army the pride of the whole nation in ton years the competi tion for the place of private soldier would bo as hot as it is to-day for a cadetahip.

Two years ago the Advancement association of Milwaukee was formed. Its object was primarily to promote community of feeling among .-ill citizens, rich and poor, foreign and native. That once established, tho organization would goon and beautify Milwaukee, and do all in its power to promoto tho financial prosperity of the city. Efforts were to bo made to attract large industrial concerns, public conventions, etc., to the city. Tho association has already had a success that is remarkable. A large public spirit, a kindly feeling that made all work together for tho common good was quickly developed. Extensive manufacturing establishments havo been attracted to this city, which is becoming so handsome and where there is so much good feeling. There is a large hint here for othor towns.

A very melancholy fact is the insanity of Ruskin, tho greatest art critic of his time. It seems that for years he has hardly had a friend or relative with whom he was on speaking terms. For a long Umo he has been noted for his irritability and violent outbursts of anger. That itself was an indication of tho insane temperament. It is not a pleasant work either, or a task for which one could bo envied, to spend fifty or sixty years picking flaws in one's fellowmen. That of itself enough to drive a nmn or woman crazy.

WASHINGTON. Fob. .S.—Thero has boon nothing here since (lartleld's assassination that has caused so much sorrow as tho Tracy calamity. All society doings for the week have boon postponed.

Secretary Tracy continues to improvo slowly. Many prominent people called at the houso and were informed that the Secretary wirs getting

his son, Mr.

MHH. Til. „k H. Tracy, is with hiin. He is tlio lirst member of his family the Secretary has seon since tho awful calamity, and his presence was an unmistakable source of joy and hope to the borcaved paronts. Tho physicians attonding Mrs. and Miss Wllnierding said that their pationts passed quite a fair night and are better. Mrs. Wilracrding suffers a great deal from bruises and at times was hysterical, as she began to realize the extent of hor terrible loss. The doctors succeeded in quieting her nerves, and she then fell into a quiet slumber.

At 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon Secretary Tracy was rijmoved to tho White House from Judge Davis' residence in the President's carriage, accompanied by his son and Lieutenant Tusker. The Secretary walked into the house alone.

The following cablegram was received Tnesday night by the Itritish .Minister and at onco forwarded to Secretary Tracy: "OSIIORN, Feb. 1, ISM.- To rnK IIIIITISH MINISTER: Tho Queen deeply deplores tho calamity to Mr. Tracy's family anil Inquires after him and tho survivors. I'ONSOSIIY.

Secretary Tracy responded as follows: "Mr. Traoy begs the llrltlsh Minister to convey to her Majesty his sincere thiuiks for hor graolous messuRe of sympathy ami in reply to her kind Inquiry to say that his survtng ditugh ter and grundchlld arc out of danger."

Funeral services will he held ovor the remains of Mrs. Tracy and Miss Tracy in tho East room of tho Whito Houso this morning at 11 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Douglass, rector of John's Protestant Episcopal Church, will conduct the religious sorvices. Tho bodies will be temporarily deposited in tho receiving vault at Rock Cteek Comotery untj their final disposition is determined upon. Tho pall bearers for Mrs. Tracy will bo as follows: Secretary Wlndom, Secretary Proctor, Attorney-lieneral Miller, Post-master-Goneral Wanamaker, Socretary Noble, Secretary Rusk, Admiral Porter and Rear-Admiral Rogers.

The interment will doubtless be in Brooklyn. The coflin of Mrs. Tracy will not be opened to tho public and that of Miss Tracy not at all, owing to great disfigurement Telegrams of condolence havo been pouring in from all sections of tho country. The remains of Josephine, the French maid, were buried yesterday afternoon, arrangements having been made by Mrs. Harrison. She had no friends in this coun try-
