American literature is developing
both in quantity and quality. The
figures for 1902, just announced show
that 1888 new books were published in
this country during that year, and of
these 52l0 were by American authors.
The most popular book of last year and
consequently the best seller, was
Audrey" historical romance Of the
early settlement Of Virginia, by Mary
Johnston, Southern girl; and after it
came THE Virginian. a cowboy story
by Owen Wistar.
The historical romance" has become
the most popular form of story, and of
all that have ever been written in and
of this country none excel DR.. McCook' 8
1.-THE Lattimers, story of the
"Whiskey Insurrection" in Western
Pennsylvania of hundred years ago
and better.
Authors of popular books make
money, but, as an exchange remarks:
Because a few books sell enormous
editions there is general misapprehen-
sion as to the circulation of the ordinary
book. ANY publisher is delighted with
the prospect Of selling five thousand
copies of novel. Perhaps the great
majority never reach beyond 1900. OF
the novels that are called standard in
this country and which are properly
esteemed and will be handed down to
rosterity there are many which have
not reached a circulation Of 10000,
while $4,000 was considered an extra
ordinary sale up to five years, ago,
when the craze for particular books sci
in"
Posterity does not ask for many books
in any one year, and of the nearly eight
thousand new books published last year
1t is probable that three-fourths of them
will be absolutely dead by the end Of
this year and ninety y-nine per cent a
decade hence.
The evidence accumulated by Com

CURRENT EVENTS.

The 57th Congress of the United
States expired by limitation and adj
iourned yesterday; but the President
has called upon the Senate to meet IN
extra session, today, to consider the
canal and reciprocity treaties This
was made necessary by the fake-fght
that Quay of this state put up for the
admission of Arizona and New Mexico
as states, and by the filibuster of Morgan
of Alabama against ratifying the pur-
chase Of the Panama canal route
1t was noticed, however, that as soon
as the Littlefeld antitrust bill, which
had passed the House, and which pro-
vided fines and penalties for both the
givers and takers of rebates, was
shelyed, the statehood riders to the ap-
preparation bills were withdrawn, and
the bills were passed.
The people Of this country have be-
come alarmed during the past few years
at the rapid accumulation of its wealth
in the hands of the few. and it was ex-
pected that this Congress wonld pass
some legislation to retard or curb it,
The House passed the Littlefeld bill,
but both it and Senator Hoar's bill died
in the Senate, and the only bills that
have passed both houses are the ones
fixing the principle Of publicity as re-
CARDS the doings of corporations.
President Roosevelt appears to be sat
isfed with the outcome, but at the
sametime, it is curious fact that the
trust people are jubilant over the defeat
of the two bills mentioned
The President had to contend with a
Senate composed Of wealthy men, most
of whom are probably in the position of
Mr.. Quay, who gave as his reason for
voting to shelye the Littlefield bill that
he owned stock in corporation that
might be called trust

is at present constituted. is curse to

AN ENDLESS CHAIN.

ingenious conception of an endless
chain in human ambition:
Every farmer boy wants to be a

hopes to be an editor, every editor

and every trust magnate hopes some
day to own a farm and have chick

to look after. We end where we be-
gin.

Mr. asoMOTo,s
APPOINTMENT.
He viii Aid in Development of
Texas Rice Country.

The Southern Pacific Railroad
has just added a new and unique
official to its list Of employees, and
circulars have just been issued an
nouncing the appointment Of K.
Isomoto as japanese land and i'm
migration agent, who will stand,
perhaps, distinct as the only Japa-
nese railroad official in the United
States.
Mr.. Isomoto is native of Kobe,
Japan, and has had seventeen years
education in English and American
schools; speaks English and other
languages fuently, and is keenly
alive to the advantages which are
presented to his countrymen in
America and particularly in the
immense rice belt of louisiana and
Texas, which approximate 100000
acres, only 100000 acres of which
are in cultivation. This available
rice area, stretching from New Or
leans to Corpus Christi along the
line of the Southern Pacific, is prac-
tically the same size as that of ia
pan, but in that country not foot
of ground is to be obtained for the
cultivation of this staple.
In appointing Mr. IsOmoto to the
position of japanese land and i'm
migration agent, the Southern Pac-
ific seized upon an opportunity and
looked far ahead, for it is expected
through him that large numbers of
high-class japanese investors in
rice lands and cultivators of rice
will be brought into Louisiana and
Texas. By this it must not be
understood that cheap or coolie
labor is to be brought here, but on
the other hand it is an expert high
priced class of labor which this
railroad system is endeavoring to
bring to its fullest usefulness the
immense area Unavailable rice lands
now lying idle.
Mr.. Isomoto recently was respon-
sible for two very wealthy young
japanese coming to America for the
purpose of investing their capital in
rice lands, and they were so we'll
pleased with the prospects that they
not only made arrangements to in
vest but Mr.. Isomoto will shortly |
return to Japan and bring over 100
japanese colonists who are skilled |
in the. cultivation Of rice and who |
represent 4 high class OF japanese
labor, being distinctly different from
Chinese labor, of which so much has
been seen in the United States,
particularly in the West.
Mr. Isomoto has begun his labors
with quietness and tact and this
unique venture will undoubtedly /
result in fastening the development .
of the Louisiana and Texas rice
lands. The Southern Pacific stands
in a unique position with reference
to his japanese official and with the
exception of one other road is the
only one in the United States en-
ploying Chinese passenger agents,
one being stationed in Havana, one
in New Orleans and one in San

PLEA TO TEXANS
FOR THE ALAMO
Issued By the Daughters OF the
Republic in Texas.

The Daughters of the Republic of
Texas are making a heroic and
patriotic struggle for the preserva-
ton of the old Spanish mission, the
most important item they have on
hand being the purchase of the
Hugo d Schneider property adjOin-
ing the old mission church build
ing on Alamo Plaza. To raise funds
for this purpose, the society has
issued the following:
''The Daughters of the Republic
of Texas is a chartered society COM
posed of the descendants of the
early pioneers and heroes of the
Republic of Texas. The society
has among its objects the fostering
of the study of Texas history, the
erection of monuments to the me-
mory Of the early fathers and states
men, and the preservation of relics
and landmarks relating to the early
days.
''De Zavala Chapter is trying to
save the old Mission del Alamo.
The State already owns a small
part, but the value Of what it owns
will he impaired if the plan contem-
plated by Eastern capitalists be
carried out-that of purchasing the
remainder of the old mission, buy
ing the surrounding property and
inclosing the Alamo, as it were;
using the sacred spot where the
blood of our Texas heroes was shed
as an advertisement of a CONNER
cial scheme. The Daughters of the
Republic of Texas need the CO.
operation of every true Texan and
lover of liberty in the effort to save
this sacred antiquity-the Alamo.
"It is the desire of the Daughters
to buy the remainder of this build
ing and its acknowledgement
to the hearts of all Texans, restore it
and make it a worthy and artistic
monument to the memory of those
dauntless hero martyrs who fell
inside its walls.
"They propose to convert this
Thermopylae Of the New World into
a Texas Hall of Fame-where every
hero and all great Texans shall be
remembered-to make it a museum
OF Texas history, art, literature and
relics-where shall be gathered all
matter interesting and instructive
pertaining to Texas or her people

Texans shall be proud and to which
they may point in refutation of the
old adage Republics are ungrateful'.

One Criminal Case for June
Term of Court so far
THE SMALLEST IN MANY YEARS
Bob" Langford Charged With Rob-
berry Will Stand Trial and William
Billiard May Be Tried on Assault
Charge.

Unless more cases appear on the
docket than there are now, the June
term of the superior court, which con-
venes the 18th of next month, VIII
be the shortest session held in years.
The only criminal case so far 10 be
tried is the one against Bob" Lang
ford. accused of robbing Jack kel-
Tough Of $50 and a watch in the Horse
shoe saloon Monday night.
Langford so far has been unable TO
furnish the $1,000 bond required and
till remains in the county Jail 1t is
probable that another similar charge
will be filed against him soon, man
named Steele alleging that on the
same night I.angtOrd relieved him OF
SO.
The result of Maurie Nash's lnJur-
les. depends on whether William Bull
lard. charged with assaultlng him
with a deady weapon, Will come TO
trial at the next term of court. Bull
lard is in the county jail and Nash
is still at the hospital with very
sore head, the result of a blow over
| the head from a piece OF gas pipe III
the hands of Billiard. The trouble
occurred in a Main street saloon II
DAYS ago. and Nash mas been at the
hospital ever since suffering IRON
