MANS POWER OVER MAN.

The study of human nature, the reading of human character and the manipulation of these characteristics s,f the human makeup have always been a matter of intense interest to those who did not possess that subtle snfluence which draws. and welds md moulds the minds and actions of others into the carrying out of the wishes of the stronger mind.
 Tn politics, probably the most not 'ion of one mans mind over anoth- CTS has been and is that of Senator Matthew M. Quay. For years Quay s,as dominated the Republican party in Pennsylvania with an autocrauc power, never exceeded by the Car of Russia in his domain Time and ngain for thirty years have even the representative men of his own party, and the most powerful press of his -State. lined up again him. only to go siown to defeat. He has been abus. cd, called more ugly names. accused of more statutory crimes than any other living man in public life. yet never have the voters failed to re- Spond to the ever powerful power of Quay over men There are reasons for this. i: is true, namely that he never broke his political word with a fol- lower; never made promise that he rid not fulfil. and was always prompt in paying his political debts.
 We had notable example Of mans power over man right here in Bis bee in the personality of Doctor Sweet An unusually successful physician. an extraordinary politi- -iAn. an afbnitive nature that drew around him host of friends ard fol towers, even among his political op- ,Joneuts, the 6iscernmert Of just what influence to bring to bear upon certain minds proved his wonderful. success in molding public officers and strength in the councils of his party The influence of Doctor Sweet was always for good, never for the baser T'atering to unscrupulous politics.
 h strange contrast, yet neyerthe- tess as potent in its power is the ex- Traordinary power of mans mind over mothers in the personality of the s'o~ notorious New York walking delegate" Sam Parks. This man s'as. and is member of the Struct- ural Bridgs workers Union oI New York IL has been shown by the New York newspapers, and it has been proven in a New York court of Wsuce, where he was convicted.
 that on the paltry salary of a walk -ng delegate, Parks lived in a fine apartment house, wore diamor6s or his fingers and in his shirt front, paII sl GOO for a seal skin coat, rode to he meetings of his union in a cab, and kept bank account of s35 900, ' all the rich fruit of his ever thrifty graft -I

Of course what the h. sernauonal Association of Iron Work srs chose to do is nobody's business but their own, but there is no decent. solf-respecting workinsman belong ing to any organization of working men or earth. but would repudiate the acts of Sam Parks and the stig- ma he has placed upon organized la boy and brought the union he repre- sents into public contempt Pend ing ar appeal, Parks was released from Sing Sing, and Labor Day black mailer Parks headed the procession of fhe New York union in the parade of organized labor, the sickly reason siyeu for this disgrace to clean and fafr labor being, that they didn't propose to desert him while ha vas tiown''
 Yet this man, professional labor az itator all his life, with a keen eye to i.is personal benefit always, has been able to keep more skilled workmer 1n idieness in the present year than any other man on the American coa- <inent, and this idleness meaning sui Iering to thousands of innocent fami lies in Greater New York. while he lived on milk and honey.
