Why He Resigned the Ministry to Tur-
kew.

There were other and more potent
causes, too, which induced him to
leave the public service. Those who
know Mr.. MacVeagh best know that
he will never remain in office under an
Administration in which he has not
perfect confidence. Public office means
to him public duty. He is not there
to be honored or because he has served
his party well; he is there to do his
duty to the public that employs him.
L have had many times excellent rea-
son to doubt the honesty and the pa
triotism of professional refornlers. l
have never had reason to doubt Mr..
MacVeagh, and 1 think he is truly
reformer. He could not have accepted
office under General Grant. 1t 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 i'm
1872 into epen hostility. But Mr. Mac
Vessh stopped his open revolt when
the Liberal movement died. He never
went over to the Democracy. Allshis
political affections are centered in the
organization which came into being in
the year when he reached his majori-
ty, and for which he has worked faith
fully and diligently for these many
years. His desire is that the Republi-
can party shall retain its present prom
inence in Federal and State affairs; bis
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 insid
the organization, because he wants no
only to preserve the organization but
to increase its power and influence.

Every year increases the popularity
Of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from faiing out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
BY its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. It is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, Nd State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and !
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

skillfully Mr.. Macveagh performed
bis duties as Chairman Of the Republic
can State Cominittee of Pennsylvania.
IL was his first entrance into official
life, for the control of the machinery
of great party and the leadership Of
the organization In an important cam
paign gives man 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, u post that he occupied only
two years. Such place as the Turk
ish mission is could not have suited
very well man of Mr.. MacV Veagh's
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.

into public life. 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. 1t 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 Rail-
road Company. He is not counsel for
that Company. and, 1 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 road, Mr.. Mac
Veagh continued to be its counsel.
His ability as lawyer has made him
the counsel for the road and for the
Camerons. That family does not EN-
ploy legal talent on the basis of rela.
tionship; they dc. business entirely on
business principles, and while they
Wouiu, oOiei ehinSs oelIg equal, prefer
relative or connection, the other
things must be clearly equal. Mr.. Mac
Veagh is probably one of the best rail-
road lawyers in the country. If he
were not, he would certainly not re-
sumo his place. The fact that law
yer has been Attorney General of the
United States is not of itself sufficient
recommendation to the great corpora
ton by which Mr.. MacVeagb is EN-
ployed at what assume is handsome
salary. There must be something
stronger than that in his favor.

As a Cabinet Member.

The manner in which Mr.. MacVeagh
went into President Garfield's Cabinet
is characteristic of his political career.
He did not represent any powerful po-
litical influences; he was the choice of
the President against the choice of the
machine influences of his State. AS
the President himself declared, he was
his own man in the Cabinet. 1t was
his 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 Mr.. Mac
Veagh's political advancement posi-
BILE. There are few men in public life
who have won their way to the front
by so persistent and consistent a per-
formance of public duties. Time was
on his side, and the future has made
good all its promises to the man whose
care for what was to come was shown
in his devotion to the demands Of the
present. With those who came in
contact with him Mr.. MacVeagh is q
popular maH. He is frank sometimes
to brusqueness. 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
y y
He is, above all things, a sincere man.
He acts on his sincere beliefs, and he
never hesitates to do what he thinks
the necessities of the occasion demand.
He is, in other words, bold but not
rash. He is not one of those who rush
in where wise men fear to tread. He
is cautious and far-sighted. When the
occasion comes he is ready to meet it,
and friendships and even family ties
are never permitted to stand in the
way of the performance of his public
duties. Socially, Mr.. MacVeagh is
delightful man. He is thoroughly
genuine and unaffected. He meets
men in the same spirit in which they
come to him. He gives his 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 condolences when they are
merely concealing the truth.

A Notable Incident Of His Career.

Mr.. MacVeaghs 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 1 shall
not repeat it here. His co-Commis-
sioners found him of very great assist
ance in the performance of the task
which had been assigned them. His
astuteness, his clear perception of what
was needed, his thorough knowledge
of men, the unhesitating manner in
which he approa ched all who could
shed light on the stu alton in Louis
lana, and the boldness with which he
conducted the Investigation, contribu-
ted more than all the labors of the 9TH
ers to the successful conclusion of the
mission of the Commission.

His Home and Its Surroundings.

There are few men in public life who
Seem so completely domestic as Mr..
MacVeagh. He is always at home at
ter Office hours. Ph!ladelphians know
how he lives in their city. Here he
has leased the large house built and
owned by ex-AttOrney General Will
liams. The house is in beautiful part
of the city and in one of its best neigh
borhoods. 1t was built to crafty the
social ambitions of Mrs. Williams, one
of the most brilliant women of the
Grant regime. 1t Is great double
house, with an immense parlor or sa-
loon, and doubtless, were Mr.. Mac
Veagh to remain in the Cabinet, it
would be the scene of some brilliant
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.

His Ancestry.

There are q hundred ways in which
he shows his Scotch-Irish extraction
in his voice, in his quick speech which
sometimes, flows like torrent, in a
certain caustic wit, and in a healthy
hatred of shams and hypocrites.
Wayne MacVeagh is a young man yet.
He looks even younger than he is, for
he was boIl forty. eight years ago, and
is one of Chester County's contribu-
tions to the notable men of Pennsyl-
vania, having been born at Phoenix
vile in 1888. 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 has 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 has added
to them larger and wider culture than
most of the race have attained to. He
has flourished among strong men, and
Is the intellectual peer of most of them.
But this small man who addresses the
Supreme Court, and who is listened to
80 respectfully by the lawyers, is not
popular among the politicians 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 in it; when
Simon Cameron received his defeat at
the hands of the young lawyer 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, as he is now to
overthrow the Cameron methods in
politics.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1881-11-10
As n Politician.

He is good politician in the sense
that he is wise enough to have perfect
confidence in the honesty and right
intentions of the people. He has the
courage which comes from faith 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
iy must be overwhelmed in the end.
In that way he is good politician.
Perhaps if he warped his moral nature
sufficiently he might be good polite
ian in the lowest sense of that much
abused word. There is large amount
of craft in the race from which he
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 in
party politics has not been always for
the best. Mr.. MacVeagh's cunning,
however, has been turned in another
and it has been of great ser
vice to him in the contests he has been
called upon to wage from time to tine
against the wrong-doers of his own
party. Everyone at all familiar with
the campaign Of '69 recollects how

His Training


Mr.. MacVeagh was 2l years old when
lie graduated from Yale in the class of
'63. 1t was a good class, and Mac
Veagh was not unworthy of it. He was
scholar of an independent habit of
mind, and he was 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-
BILE to those who have large dealings
with other men, whose business it is to
fnd out the complexion of other peo-
ple's minds and to make war upon the
vicious classes, whether in society or
politics. Mr.. MacVeagh stood well in
his class. A man with SO high mind
ss his, and with his disposition to do
his 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 bar in 1856. The
country now knows Mr.. MacVeagh
always been student of his profession,
and that means, of course, that he is a
lawyerof solid requirements. AS the
profession itself would say, he is
learned. lawyer and among the ablest
ofyour city of able lawyers. Philadel-
phians know what that means, and
how high rank lawyer has when he
ID abreast of both the leading Philadel.
phia lawyers of the present and with
those of tradition. When the late
President was once talking with his
Attorney General concerning man he
wanted to appoint to vacant Attorney
Generalship he said: "He is a man
like you MacVeagh; man who loves
the books" That describes precisely
and better than it could be in many
columns the kind of lawyer Mr.. Mac
Veagh is. During all the days of his
maturity he has been a scholarly inves-
tigatOr. He has been an industrious
student who has worked in many fields
Of learning and in many directions.
In Boston he would be called culti-
waited man. believe that phrase is
sneered at in other parts of the coun-
try, but it is a good one, all the same,
and it indicates what l want to say.
There is a good deal of meaning in the
figure of speech which likens mans
mind to field of land which has been
diligently titled by the husbandman,
and Mr. MacVeagh has been careful
and industrious husbandman in his
own 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 public in an official capacity
by serving it we'll as lawyer and as a |
good citizen; what he has come to he
has grown to. He has reached the
Cabinet through a complete develop |
ment. No adyentitious circumstances |
have made Wayne MacVeagh-a u prom
inent public man. He made himself
by taking wise advantage of all the OPP |
portunities offered him, and he has
crown in influence by the slow and
,ure process OF doing diligently and
xell all that has been entrusted to him.
