HOW IT HAPPENED
 OVER AT NOME

The Industrial Worker. Il labor pa per published at Nome has the fol- lowing to say in the closing para graph of very interesting article on "How 1t happened" that outsiders were appointed to Nome offices:
 Moreover and furthermore and in addition, it may be said that if there ia any vcnturesomc democrat in the crowd who will 30 far transgress the sl:ackels of convention as to endeavor 10 inteliigentiy explain political phen- omena. that if the mental effort bc not too great. there would Dc much enlightenment, much interest and sat- later curiosity in an explanation of how the devil it happens Alskans did not get the jobs. when Alaskans were jumping sideways 10 afiiX their ana {, mics to every possible, probable, or projected vacancy in the federal chairs"
 The answer is easy, very easy. Most all tho alleged democrats of Nome were adherents of Al Daily and did everything in their power to assist him in defeating William Jennings Bryan for temporary chairman of the Baltimore convention. They gave Daily fifty votes to cast in the Valdez con- vention against delegates to the na- tIonal convention who would vote to keep the organization nut of the hands of Charles r. Murphy. The delegates taken to Baltimore by Al Daily voted fcrty-fo four times against Woodrow Wilson for nominee for the presidency The regular, democrntic. nominee for C ngress did not receive a single vote in the Second division. therefore Pres ident Wilson had good reason to pre- sumo that there were no democrats other than Murphyitcs in that divis- ion. Tn havo appointed democrats from other parts of tho territory would have caused even more turmoil. hcnce tho appointments made. Easy, very easy to know "How 1t happen ed" when you retrospect little. Will son simply chose Oregon democracy rather than Tammany democratcy that's all. Don't cry.-valdcx Com moner.

 TOKYO March 24.-Almost out of n clear sky came the bolt of news today that the cabinet had fallen. In other words that the ministry had resigned end that their rrsignations had been very promptly accepted and m effort made to at once form new cabinet frcm the party which Is opposed 10 the late ministry.
 X number of reasons arc given for this heasty action on the part of the ministers. Among them are the re- cent scandals discovered in the naval service. the dissatisfaction of the pco- pic over the negotiations with tho United States over the California anti alien land laws and moro recently tkc anti government riots in Japan and the differences between the two kGuscs of parliament.
 This last matter is the immediate cause of the disruption of tho govern ment of tho present ministry and Is caused by the absolute and obstinate refusal of tho two houses to come together on any matters of legislation as long as the present min!ntry TO- mains in power.
 This of courcc means that no army or navy credits will he passed and tho entire machinery of the govern mcnt will Dc held up.
