II is always a pleasure to record the

ladder to success. II is especially pleas.
Ing to note the rise OF a man In a
country where, In the language OF
James A Garfield. society Is stratlfled
like the rocks. one layer holding down
the one beneath. William Crooks, forty
years ago, was an inmate of n London
workhouse. Left In such an environ
ment he resolved as boy that he would
make his way upward through Difficult
ty, first he secured position at 81 n
week. He lived on this 81 and tasted
for the first time neutrality-suspicious.
He next apprentlced himself to the
copper trade and worked for one man
seven years. Then he was thrown out
Of work by strike. He began business
for himself In a small way and was
successful. Today he is a member Of
the London city council and mayor of
an East End suburb. He Is chairman
Of the London Industrial school COM
mlttee. He Is also chairman Of the
workhouse committee. the same COM
mittee that sent him and his family TO
the workhouse years ago. In short he
is Il successful and useful man In his
day and generation and Is highly re-
spected. 1t Is impossible. accidents
aside, to keep a good man down. II
he has brains and character he will
win an honorable place. He may not
secure fame or wealth but he secures
what Is better-manhood. And this Is
true under every form OF society. 1t is
especially true In this country where
to use the Garfield phraseology. our
society is not like the earths strata
"but is like the yielding waves of the
sea where the lowest drop may rise
and glitter on the topmost wave"

M0LDERS, TOO
Some Probability They Will
Join Striking Machinists
at Brainerd.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Brairerd, MINI, April 21.-The situa-
tion at the Northern Pacific shops re-
mains about the same. The machinists
who struck Saturday morning still remain
out and at present there does not seem
to be probability Of their going to work.
They held meeting yesterday and there
was also a meeting Of apprentices who
have. been working under them at the
shops.
tits understood that at the first meet
ing it was decided not to call out the
apprentices, for the present at least, but
to wait until committee, which went
to St. Paul to-day to interview Superin
tendent of Motive Power Lowell, makes
it's report 1t is stated to-day by the
machinists that the apprentices have sig
nifed an intention of walking out if they
are called at any time.
The moulders In the Northern Pacific
foundry will also go out, If they are
called, in sympathy with the machinists.
The committee left for st. Paul this
afternoon to interview Superintendent
Lowell, and it is probable that the matter
will be settled, although it was from
that official that the mandate emanated
on Saturday. The situation will be pretty
grave should the moulders be called out.
It is reported that such being the case,
about all the men at the shops, number
ing almost 1 1000, may be called out, and
that this may affect not only this city,
but other shops on the Northern Pacific
system.

Topeka, Kan, April 21.-The Farmers
Grain association of this state, which has
successfully operated for year, now pur-
poses to begin operations against the beef
trust. James Butler, secretary and or
ganizer of the association, has issued a
statement to the 10000 members of thu
association and the public, in which he
outlined plan to defeat the trust. He
says:
The farmers and business men of Kansas
are in better shape to solve the beef trust
problem than those Of any other state. This
is a state which produces an enormous Juan
tity of meat, and we have demonstrated our
ability to compete with the grain trust. TIL:
Farmers Grain association can greatly assist
in the work. Our plan is on the co-opera-
tive order and provides for the organization
OF companies in every county of the state
The companies will include the farmers who
bring in stock to market and the men who
consume the meat.
We purpose to have cooperative ice plants
cold storage and packing-houses erected al
central points. The animals can be slaugh-
tered there and the meat which is not sold
on the local maket can be cured and shipped
to some larger packing center. This will
save the two freights which the consumers
now pay. They are Obliged to pay the freight
to the packing house and the freight back or
the cured product This plan has been dis
cussed by leading men in various lines OF
business in the state and they declare II
will win.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Decision of the Court as Announced
by Chief Justice Fuller.
Washington. April 21.-The United
States supreme court to-day granted
leave to the state of Washington to file,
an original bill for an Injunction against
the Great Northern R. R. Co., the North
ern Pacific P. F. Co, and the Northern
Securities company, in accordance with
the petition Of that state recently fled
in the court.
The opinion in the case was delivered
by Chief Justice Fuller who stated that
the court had always exercised the utmost
care in. its proceedings in original cases
and that the present determination to
grant leave to file was intended to be en-
tireIy without prejudice..sto either party
at interest. Ss'f a
The chief Justices opinion was very
brief and consisted entirely of a review
of original cases of the same character
which have been brought to the attention
of the court. The two most important
thus cited we're the case of the State Of
Louisiana VS.. the State of Texas concern
|. ing the quarantine regulations of the lat
ter state. in which leave was given to file.
and the State of Minnesota VS.: the North
ern Securities Company, in which the Pc
tition to file was denied.
Referring to the latter case, he said
the petition had been refused because Of
the insuperable objection that indispenB-
able parties to the case could not be
brought into the court. This objection
did not, however, confront the court in
the present case and the court felt that
because Of its desire to proceed with all
caution where cases are brought in this
court, the precedent of the Louisiana
Texas case should be followed rather than
l. Il - ~ do In
| stance Hence, leave to file would b
granted and subooenas would be issued
returnable on the first day of supreme
court in October. -

Guatemala City, April 21.-The three

$4,000 inhabitants, and completely de-
stroyed the town of Amatitlan. Both OF
these towns were capitals Of the depart

is reported that 500 persons were killed in
Quesaltenango, but the rumor lacks con-
firmation. News Of the destruction, which
extended 100 miles along the western part
of the republic, is, coming IN slowly.
The inha bitants of Amatitlan-that is
those Of the 10000 residents who escaped
death in the cataclysm-are camping in
the open air for safety, not daring to re-
turn to the ruined confines of the town.
More news has been obtained about the
condition of affairs at Amatitlan than at
Quesaltenango, as the former is only Is
miles south of this city, while the latter is
more than 100 miles to the northwest.
Couriers say earthquake shocks are still
being felt at short intervals in the neigh
borhood of Quesaltenango:
There have been serious seismic dis
turbances along the Cordillera, affecting
towns and villages between Arnatitlan and
Quesaltenango. Slight disturbances were
felt at Guatemala City.
