Mr.. MaCVeagh Undisturbed
Another Proof That Character Need Not
Fear Attack.

Fear Attack.
Several newspapers of standing
permitted themselves, of late, to pub
hsh without any known basis Of fact
. series of accusations against the
Hon. Wayne MaeVeagh. In Washing
ton, where charges of such nature are
heard every few days concerning sonis
official or other, and where Mr. Mae
Veagh Is known to be a man Of eX-
eeptional ability and tried honor
these statements were given exactly
the hearing they deserved complete
Indifference. 1t was presumed that no
enc acquainted with the affairs of the
Government for the past thirty years
would consider the charges seriously.
and they were accordingly passed over
in silence.
1t is pleasant, nevertheless, to note
that these accusations against Mr.
MacVeagh were soon their own undo
ing. The Secretary Of State was
prompt to publish a statement deny
ing the charges in all their details.
But, worse still for Mr.. MaeVeagh' :
accusers, the most cursory examina-
ton of the Facts made the charges al.
together unlenable.
IN substance Mr. MacVeagh was
supposed to have saved himself re-
call from The Hague-where ne had
appeared for Venezuela in opposition
to the claims of England, Germany,
and Italy for preferential treatment
lii the matter of their accounts with
his ehent-only by Sudden depar-
ture for home" He had brought him
self into disfavor, it appeared, by
writing gu insulting letter to the ex-
eeuhve council of the tribunal, and by
charging that England had fomented
the recent revolution against the es-
iablished authorities Of Venezuela.
Mr.. MacVeagh's sudden depar-
ture" Is a matter of interest. The very
newspapers which announced the
charges against him now admit that
he sailed from The Hague on a steam
er for which he had engaged passage
last July, and that his departure was
made five days after the court had
ended argument by adjourning for a
month. The other counts" in the II
dictment answered themselves n
about the same way. No one In the
council was in the least offended by
Mr.. MaeVeagh's letter, and, according
to one of these belated newspapers
his relations with the representa-
tives of the British case were serene
| ~ amicable."
All Of which merely points again ia
an old adage about being sure you are
right, saw which applies especially
to aspersions on a reputation as brigh.
a. that of Mr. MacYeagh. A man who
has been minister to Turkey and am
bassador % Italy, who has served on
half a dozen important legal bodies,
and given his name TO one of them,
who has been Attorney General of the
United States, and who has been con
spicuous through a long lifetime for
great skill in arguing great cases be
fore great tribunals, IS surely entitled
to an investigation before the publica-
ton Of such charges as those md
Gated. But the misfortune IS, after
sli, not his, but that of the newspa-
pers.
