TAL AND PERSONAL TRAITS OF MR,
MACVEAGH.
Philadelphia Frena.
Standing at tbe front table in the
Supreme Court-room, almost anv ilnv
wf the term, you will see the subject of
mis BKetcn.. tie is unciersizeu in every
way, except that his head is somewhat
larger than tbe average man's. His
body does not do htm justice. It is
small, apparently frail, hiirh striinc
and nervous. As he raises his hand to
make a gesture and the cuff pulls back,
you notice that the wrist isdolicate and
that the tendons are large and promi
nent. It is a fine, small organism, the
basilar nature not making large drains
upon tne system, tne strengtu and nu
trition going to reinforce the moral and
intellectual wan. He is of a species
ucn as every one Knows some speci
men of men of force of character and
strength of brain, whose nerves and
will carry them further and enable
them to do better work than the mus
eles of most men. The impression that
the face gives you tells the story of the
character, i but of the Attorney Gen
eral is strong and intellectual. There
is no weakness there, and there is nev
er a mask ou it. It is what could be
called a large-featured face. The nose
fa prominent and aquiline, the eyes are
deep set and frank. The chin and
mouth are strong; the common expres
sion1 la thougnuui. ordinarily you
would take the man for a student. Oc
casionally, when he is aroused you
would realize that he is full of courage
ana oi vigorous, umuiy lighting now
trsr
Bfs Ancestry.
There are a hundred ways in which
he shows his Scotch-Irish extraction
in his voice, in bis quick speech which
sometimes, flows like a torrent, in a
certain caustic wit, and in a healthy
batred of shams and hypocrites.
Wayne MacVeagh is a young man yet.
He looks even younger than he is. for
he was bo. a forty-eight years ago, and
Is one or Chester ixmuty's contribu
tions to tbe notable men of Pennsyl
vania, having been born at Phoanix
ville in 1833. The stock from which
he sprang has given the State and
country some of its ablest men. Penn
sylvania cherishes, as it ought, the
strong race which has always been a
full reservoir of power, and bus made
her so prominent in both the world of
politics and the world of business. Mr.
MacVeagh inherits most of the good
qualities of his people, and bus added
to them a larger and wider culture than
most of the race have attained to. He
has flourished among strong men, and
is the intellectual peerof most of them.
But this small man who addresses the
Supreme Court, and who is listened to
so respectfully by the lawyers, is not
popular among the oliticians with
whom he comes daily in contact, now
that he has entered into public life.
There has been little in this life to talk
about for the public. Years ago there
was something of romance lu it; when
Simon Cameron received his defeat at
tbe bands of the young lawyei and saw
him marry his favorite daughter, de
spite the opposition of her powerful
father. He was just as determined
then, to- accomplish what he desired,
despite Mr. Cameron, us he is now to
overthrow the Cameron methods in
politics.
Ills Training
Mr. MacVeagh was 21 years old when
He graduated from Yale in the class of
63. It was a good' class, and Mac
Veagh. was notuu worthy of it. He was
a scholar of an independent habit of
mind, and he was a thorough investi
gator;. He had the industry and the
power of analysis and synthesis which
make men-good and successful search
ers after truth, and which are invalua
ble to those who have large dealings
with other men, whose business it is to
find out the complexion of other peo
ple's minds and to make war upon the
vicious classes, whether iu society or
parities. Mr. MacVeagh stood well in
his class.' A man with so high a mind
as bis, and with-his disposition to do
bis work thoroughly and as well as it
can be done, must have graduated
among the first men. When he left
college he studied law in the office of
Joseph J. Lewis, a famous lawyer of
Chester County in his day, and he was
admitted to the bur in 1856. The
country now knows Mr. MacVeagh
Has been a successful lawyer. He has
always been a student of his profession,
and that means, of course, that he is a
lawyer of solid acquirements. As the
profession itself would say, be is a
learned, lawyer and among the ablest
of your city of able lawyers. Philadcl-
nhlans know what that means, and
how blgb a rank a lawyer has when he
is aoreutt or Doth the leadiug rinlmlel
pbla lawyers of the present aud with
those of tradition. When the late
President was once talking with his
Attorney General concerning a man he
wanted to appoint to a vacant Attorney
ueneraisniu ne sain: "ue is a man
like you MacVeagh; a man who loves
the books." That describes precisely
and better thau it could be in many
column the Kind or lawyer Mr. Mac
Veagh is. During all the days of bis
maturity ne has been a scholarly inves
tigator.. He has beeu an industrious
student who has worked in many fields
of learning and lu many directions.
In Bostou be would be called a culti
vated man. I believe that phrase is
sneered at in other parts or the couu
try, but it is a good one, all the same,
and it indicates what I want to say.
There is a good deal of meaning in the
figure of speech wnicn linens a man's
mind to a neiu oi miiu wuicu una ueen
diligently tilled by the husbandman
and Mr. Mac Veagh has beeu a curefu
and industrious husbandman iu his
owd mental vineyard. He is ready
now, not only, to receive the rewards
of "his labors, but to wear the crown
worthily. He has prepared himself to
serve the publio in an otilciul capacity
by serving it well as a lawyer and as a
good citizen; what he has come to he
baa grown fax. He has reached the
Cabluet through a complete develop
ment No adventitious circumstances
have made Wayne MucVeagh u prom
inent public man. He made himself
by taking wise advantage of all tbe op
portunities offered blru, aud be has
grown in Influence by tbs Blow and
sura prooeos of doing, diligently aud
veil all that baa been, entrusted to him.
His Ability as a Lawyer;
lawven. however, do not Interest
lie public very muon until they enter
into public lire. Mr. MacVeagh has
never belonged to the class of his pro
fession who are constantly before the
Courts in what may be called 'star
cases." His private practice in West
Chester was large, but ever since his
marriage with Miss Cameron, which
was his Second marriage, he has been
a railroad lawyer. It is generally re
ported in the newspapers, from day to
day, that Mr. MacVeagh will retire
from the Cabinet to resume his place
as counsel for the Pennsylvania Kail
road Company. He is not counsel for
that Company, and, I believe, never
has been, except incidentally. His
brother-in-law, the present Senator
Cameron, had at one time control of
the stock of the Northern Central Rail
road Company, and Mr. MacVeagh
was its counsel. When the Pennsyl
vania Company finally bought the con
trolling interest In the roan, Mr. Mac
Veagh continued to be its counsel.
His ability as a lawyer has made him
the counsel for the road and for the
Camerons. That family does not em
ploy legal talent on the basis of rela
tionship; they do business entirely on
business principles, and while they
would, other things being equal, prefer
a relative or connection, the other
things must be clearly equal. Mr. Mac
Veagh Is probably one of the best rail
road lawyers iu the country. If he
were not, he would certainly not re
sume his place. The fact that a law
yer has been Attorney General of the
United States isnotof itself a sufficient
recommendation to the great corpora
tion by which Mr. MacVeagh is em
ployed at what I assume Is a handsome
salary. There must be something
stronger than mat in his tavor.
In Public Life.
Mr. MacVeagh 's public life has been
a short and. brilliant one. I do not
mean to intimate by that that it is by
anv means ended. Judging from the
time during which most other men of
Mr. Macv eagh's power remain in pub
lic life, this new career bas only just
opened for him. I cannot help think
ing that Mr. Mac V each has a future
before him, and the 1'rem may have
the satisfaction of supporting him as
the reform candidate for Governor
next vear. Whether he shall attain
that distinction or not, it would be un
wise to assume that Mr. MacVeagh will
go out of politics when he goes out of
the Cabinet. That is not in the nature
of things. He began public life by at
tending to the duties of citizenship.
He was always what may really be
called a good citizen. None of the du
ties of politics were beneath his con
scientious attention. He asked no re
wards; he ran for no office; he never
begged for nominations or votes; but
he attended faithfully to whatever
came to his nana. iur. aiacveugn
never neglected a public duty, and I
don't know that he ever asked for a
Dublic honor or reward. He served
contentedly enough, If one may judge
anything from appearances, iu the
ranksof citizens, wnen tne war oroKe
out he was willing toserve his country
and his State as a soldier. It was his
first appearance out of the ranks, and
it is noteworthy that this appearance
meant sacrifice und not large opportun
ity for urlorv. He served as Major of a
cavalry troop that had the disagreeable
and dangerous duty assigned it or
guarding the southern borderof Penn
sylvania. He was in a part of the
country liable to be raided and which
was raided by the con leaeraies. i nere
were no ureal buttles in which to win
military fame; there were any quanti
ty of hazardous enterprises, and the
surroundings of a border and guerilla
warfare are always dangerous. jir.
MacVeaeh returned to private life so
modestlv and ouietlv. and has always
(reserved so much silence on the sub
ect of his army experience, that pro
tubly very few people outside the circle
of his immediate acquaintance kiiuw
that during the War of the Rebellion
he won honorably the title of Major.
It is certain tnat no one calls him
"Mnior" in Washington, or by any
military title. Ill fact. Mr. Muc eagu
seems to resent the mention of the fact
that anvthlnir he may have done en
titles him to any special honor or re
ward. He brushes aside, apparently
with some impatience, suggestions that
he Is to be credited with anything he
has done in a public way. However
much a man like Mr. MacVeagh may
restrain himself, sooner or later he is
bound to come to the surface in public
affairs. He was born with a love lor
the things that concern the people.
From its organization he was devotedly
attached to the Republican party, and
lit was devoted to it because he believ
ed its advancement to power would be
for the best interests oi the country.
If there is a Republicau in the country
who joined the organization because he
believed in its principles, it is Mr. Mac
Veaeh. I think be never hud any po
litical ambition to satisfy by espousing
the cause of the party he has served so
long aud on which he has made no de
mands. 1 do not mean to say mat ue
lias not had, or that he now lias not,
any political ambition. He would be
a strange man, and, I am inclined to
say, not a good citizen, who, naving
the interest in public questions that
Mr. MacVeagh has, would still refuse
to give bis strength and talents to the
Cublic service. Mr. MucVeugh proba
ly has an honorable umbition.an am
bition to stand well not only with those
among whom he lives, but with the
larger constituency which judges of
men by the esteem in which they are
held at home. He probably, like all
men of power, would gladly exercise
the ability to administer public affairs
which he possesses iu a very marked
degree; but he will attain bis ambition
by the simple art of doing what he is
asked to do thoroughly well, and by
always espousing the cause of honest
government, ine cause oi me peupio
aaainst the machinations of the con
trollers and manipulators ot the ma
chine. This simplicity ot purpose and
method constitutes the power oy wnicu
Mr. MacVeagh has riseu to a promi
nent place among tbe public men of
the country.
As a Politician.
He is a good politician in the sense
that be is wise enough to have perfect
confidence in tbe honesty ami right
intentions of the people. He has the
courage which comes from fuith in the
future. He knows that time is on the
side of those who fight for honesty and
the people, and those who contend for
place and power craftily and dishonest
ly must be overwhelmed iu the end.
In that way be is a good politician.
Perhaos if he warped bis moral nature
sufficiently he aiight be a good politic
ian in the lowest sense of that much-
abused word. There is a large amouut
of craft in tbe race from which lis
springs, and the politics of Pennsyl
vania have not always been beneficial
ly affected by it. The reader will un
doubtedly be able to recall the names
of descendants of the Scotch-Irish race
in Pennsylvania whose influence lu
party politics bas not been always for
the best. Mr. MacVeagh's cunning,
however, bas beeu turned in another
direction, and it bus been of great ser
vice tobiin in the contests be has been
called upon to wage from time to tin.
against the wrong-doers of his own
party. Everyone at all familiar with
ins campaign or '03 reoouecuj now
skillfully Mi-. MacVeagh performed
bis duties as Chnirman of the Republi
can State Committee of Pennsylvania.
It was his first entrance into official
life, for the control of tbe machinery
of a great party and the leadership of
the organization in an Important cam
paign gives a man a public office more
important than most of those that are
recognized by the statutes, and whose
incumbents are paid from the public
Treasury. The fame that he achieved
by the management of the Pennsyl
vania campaign sent him as Minister
to Turkey, a post that be occupied only
two years. Such a place as the Turk
ish mission is could not have suited
very well a man of Mr. MacVeagh 'b
active mental haoits. He was not
made to idle life away on the shores of
the Bosphorus when active duties were
pressing in other directions.
Why lie Resigned the Ministry to Turkey.
There were other and more potent
causes, too, which induced him to
leave the public service. Those who
know Mr. MacVeagh best know that
ne will never remain in office under an
Administration in which he has not
perrect confidence. Fublicofflce means
to him a public duty. He is not there
to be honored or because he has served
bis party well: he is there to do his
duty to the public thftt employs him.
I have had many times excellent rea
son to doubt the honesty and the pa-
iriiiiiaiii ui pruiexsionai reiormers. I
have never had reason to doubt Mr.
MacVeagh, and I think he is truly a
reformer. He could not have accepted
ollice uuder General Grant. It was
the methods of the machine under the
Administration he had done so much
to elect that drove Mr MacVeagh first
into hostility to the machine, and lu
1872 into apen hostility. But Mr Mac
Vcaait skipped his open revolt when
the Liberal movement died. He never
went over to the Democracy. All'his
political affections are centered in the
organization which came Into being in
the year when he reached bis majori
ty, and for which he has worked faith
fully and diligently for these many
yeurs. His desire is that the Republi
can party shall retain its present prom
inence iu Federal and State affairs; his
honest belief is that it. cannot continue
to do so if the machine remains in
power. Like the Press, he is fighting
crooked methods and bad men lusid
tbe organization, because be wants no
only to preserve tbe organization but
to increase its power and influence.
A Notable Incident of His Career.
Mr. MacVcagh's principal appear
ance in politics, before he was made
Attorney General, was as one of the
Commissioners to Louisiana, whose
work was to arrange the treaty by
which the Nichols Government came
Into power in the State. The country
knows that story by heart, and I shall
not repeat it here. His co-Commis
sioners found him of very great assist
ance In the performance of the task
which hud beeu assigned them. His
astuteness, his clear perception of whut
was needed, his thorough knowledge
or men, tne unhesitating mauner in
which he approached all who could
shed light on the situation in Louis
iana, and the bolduess with which he
conducted the investigation, contribu
ted more tuau an tbe labors of the oth
ers to the successful conclusion of the
mission of the Commission.
As a Cabinet Member.
Themanneriii whichMr. MacVeaeh
went into President Garfield's Cabinet
is characteristic of bis political career,
ne did not represent auy powertui po
litical influence; he was ttie choice of
the President against the choice of the
machine influences of his State. As
the President himself declared, lie was
bis own man in the Uabluct. it was
bis own capacity, his own character.
his own services to the cause of good
government rather than to the cause of
a political party, that made Air. Muc-
Veagh's political advancement possi
ble. There are few men in public life
who have won their way to the front
by so persistent and consistent a per
forniance of public duties. Time was
on his side, aud the future has made
good all its promises to the inau whose
care tor what was to come was snowu
in hU devotion to the demands of the
present. With those who came in
contact with him Mr. MacVeagh is a
popular muH. He is frank sometimes
to brusqueuess. You cannot look him
in the eye and not believe every word
he tells you. He is one of the public
men who can look you squarely in the
eye. If he does not want to give you
information he tells you so lraukly
He is, above all things, a sincere mau.
He acts on his sincere beliefs, and he
never hesitates to do what he thinks
the necessities of the occusion demand
He is, iu other words, bold but not
rash. He is not one of those who rush
in where wise men fear to tread. He
is cautious aud far-sighted. Wheu the
occasion comes he is ready to meet it.
aud friendships and even family ties
are never permitted to stand in the
way of the performance of his public
duties, bociaiiy, Mr. Macveugh is a
delightful man. He is thoroughly
gen nine and unaffected. He meets
men in the same spirit in which they
come to him. He gives bis confidence
cautiously, but when he does give it he
gives it completely.and honestly. He
deceives no one, as is too commonly
the habit of politicians, by pretending
to impart confidences wheu they are
merely concealing the truth.
Ills Home and Its Surroundings.
There ure few men in public life who
seem so completely domestic as Mr,
MacVeagh. He is always at home ut
ter office hours. Pb'.ladelphians know
how he lives in their city. Here be
has leased the large house built and
owned by ex-Attorney General Wil
liams. The house is in a beautiful part
of the city and iu one of its best neigh
borhoods. It was built to gratify the
social ambitions of Mrs. Williams, one
of the most brilliant women of the
Grant regime. It is a great double
house, with an Immense parlor or su
loon, and doubtless, were Mr. Mac
Veugh to remain in tbe Cabinet, it
would be tbe scene of some brilliant
entertainments during the coming
winter. Mr. MacVeagh has several
children, two young men having al
most, if not quite, reached their major
ity. One of them is studying law at
Columbia College Law School in the
City of New York.

It removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonio properties, prevents
the hair from failing out, as it stimu
lates and nourishes tbe bair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In baldness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extnnne old age. It is the most
economical Hair Duessino ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MJ), State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
elected for excellent quality; and!
consider it the Best Preparation
for its intended purposes."

are, to restore gray or faded Whisk

effectually accomplish this result. It
is easily applied, and produces a color
which will neither rub nor wash
