"Hocwt Abe." Mr. A. H. Chapman, step-nephew by marriage ol Mr. Lincoln, has this to say of him as to why he was called "Honest Abe." "In his law practice on the Wabash circuit, he was noted for his unswerving honesty. People learned to love
him ardently, devotedly, and juries lis
tened intently, earnestly, receptively
to the sad-faced earnest man. He was never charged with bribery; nothing could move him when once his resolutions were formed. There was nothing
scholarly in his speeches, and
he always rested his' case on to merits, only asking for simple western justice, and the texture t .1. ..1. l. ; , .

neer jury. His face always wore a
sweetened and kindly expression, never
soar, and, burning to win them, his tall
frame swaying as a pine, made him a resistless pleader. I remember one
case of his decided honest trait of char'
acter. It was a case in winch lie was for the defendant. Satisfied of his cli
ent's innocence, it depended mainly- on
one witness. That witness told on the stand under oath what Abe knew to be c lie, and no one else knew. When he
crose to plead the case he said:
" 'Gentlemen, 1 depended on this wit
ness to clear my client. Me has lied.
I ask that no attention be paid to, his testimony. Let his words be stricken
out, if my case fails. I do not wish to
win in this way.' " "His scorn of a lie touched the jury
he laid his ease before them masmiS-

Abe to have a coat to nt nun, all were
ill-fitting; but underneath wa3 a big, hot heart that conld adinst itself to all
humanity. He had at his tongue's end the little items that make up the hum

at a hotel, in the evening during court,

A man stepped firmly forward, passed the victim, then turned and fired the deadly shot. This man, Mr. Taylor declared the State was read'.' to prove, was none other than John Areiisdorf. "And the blood then shed on our city's streets, " said he, "now cries for justice at your hands.''
Mr. Argo enterea a general uuuuu ui uiu State's charge, and introduced the defend

brewer since that time. He has resided in
Sioux City for a: ally ten years. Mr. Aruo showed that the defense pro
posed to rely upon proving an alibi, and upon the geueral good character of the defendert. The counsel devoted considerable time to an arraignment of Harry

Arensdorf, Leader, Munchrath' and Sherman were Instantly arrested, and wan nuts wore sworn out for the others named who had disappeared.

After a long and patient investigation the grand jury returned two indictments against nil tho nine defendants above named, churning them jointly with murder and conspiracy.

The prosecution asserted ita legal riebt to say which defendant should bo first tried, aud asked that a speedy date bo assigned for trial. The court set tho trial for the '21st of March. Some days prior to this date tho defense insisted that the prosecution should elect which of the defendants should be first tried, and tbe prosecution replied by electing John Arensdorf, the principal defendant, and that ho be tried on the obargo of murder. Thereupon the eourt so ordered, and set the trial for the 23d ot March. THE TBIAIi. On Wednesday, the 23d of March, before Judge Lewis, began the trial of John Arensdorf for tho uiurder of liev.

Logan's First Election as Senator.
It was just about sixteen years ago
that 1 lirst met Logan, ana tne occa
sion was characteristic of lum. I was
managing editor of the Chicago Even,' ing 1'oxt aud was in full charge, tho
editor-in-chief being in Loirope.
One moraine Gen. Logan came in,
inquired me out, walked up to my desk and introduced himself. Seating himself, ho said, "I've come down to givo vou an item."
"Yes?" I answered, with the slight rising reflection which denotes the inquisitive mind, "what can you do for usV" "I can give you a point. You want to be on tho winning side, don't you?" I rather resented this, and told him we not only wanted to be, but expected
to lie, and usually wore, as a matter of fact. "Very well," he said, twirling hia hat on his hand, "I just dropped in to tell you that 1 am going to be the next Senator irora Illinois." I was astonished. Dick Yates, the incumbent, was believed to be sure of succeeding himself, and I had hardlv hoard Logan's name mentioned for tlio nlace. Oprlesby was for Yates, tne
Journal was for Yates, the Tribune
was for 1 ates, and Yates was the mani
fest destiny of the State, ltwras two or three minutes before I
recovered nvy bre.ith, for I thought my jVisitor was perhaps not Logan at all, but an impostor, using his name to guy me. But he seemed to correspond with Black Jack's tawny pictures and
long-haired reputation. "Wont to announce it?" he asked.
"I am certainly eoincr to win. No Ohi-
casro paper has mentioned it. Perhaps:
they won't. You have always treated me square, and I have come in to tell you tho news nnd give you the chance."
1 thanked lum, and lie went out. Then 1 dropped around to Charley
Parwell. Chicago's favorite Congressman, and told him about the appari
tion.
Logan's all right " he said. "He is
on the 1 ight track. I guess he is going
to brinff down the eoon."
I returned to tUo oliiee and wrote an article nominating Logan in formal
fashion.
A few days afterward I got a short
note from him, saying, "All right, see vou rtot the nev3."
I went down to Springflora and witnessed lus canvass. It was unique. Hia headuuartors were in ono suite of rooms
and those of his energetic and spirited
wife were at the other end of the hall.
She had a bevy of handsome and accomplished girls to help her. Tho
rooms wero crowded till late at night.

HEADQCAHTEM Ill .SH NATTOK !. TjKAOTJB 1 or Amebica, Tjrscor.N. Neb., March 20. ) To the American public ana tho Irishmen of America: The corporation of Dublin, the metropolitan city of. Ireland, has appealed to the Christian world for the protests of humanity against tho further persecution of tbe Irish people by tho Hritish Government. A iime has come in the relations of Ireland and England when the laws of God and the dictates ot humanity become superior to every rule of international etiquette, and. demand from the morality of the world a stern denunciation of the course about to be pursued by tho Tory Government against the Iiisii. The voice of America should not bo eil -nt when additional outrages are alioiit to bo inflicted on a robbed and. persecuted nation. Brit
ish statesmen wao now champion
policy of uisuco to Ireland,
and condemn coercion by the Tory Gov
ernment as alike cruel and impolitic, did
not liesitnie to deno incu oppression oy the
lurks m Jsulgaria. Aro the Irish less to America than the liuliiaiians were to Eng
land, that Amor ca should hesitate to interlere iu Ireland s behalf against the cru
elties of the i'.ritihh Government? The Irish havo exhausted overy means of moral and constitutional agitation to recover their
just and leoitimate social and political.
nqnis. ine voice or Mouana ana 01
ulcs and of tbe moss of the Jiritish
democracy has sanctioned the efforts of Ireland, and proclaimed tho justice of her cause. Gladstone Morley. Labouahere, and every English leader worthy the name of statesman have proclaimed themselves advocates of Ireland's claim to legislative independence. It :o no lonrer the English
people who oppose "he restoration of lieland's lil erties, but the aristocratic robbers
who have 111 t. tiled alike 1 oth Britain and Ireland, and have fattened for generations ou' public plunder with the proceeds of which they can use the lever of corruption to lilt them into power and maintain themselves there. The cause of Ireland is the cause of the British democracy, and to this
fact may wo attribute the bitter and unre
lenting opposition of the British Tories. Tho Irish do not pretend to fight against the English, but against the oppressors of
both. In this stiuiile the Irish have done all morality can demand from an oppressed
nation, and now as a last effort they ask the
interference 01 tne Christian world to prevent their destruction.
As President of the Irish Katipnol
L:aguo of America, the representative body of the Irish race ou. this continent, I re-echo that appeal. 1 a--k the American
press and people to pass their verdict on the treatment now beins meted out to the Irish people by a heartless and venomblunted Tory Government. Let them say boldly if the Irish have not displayed all the forbearance that human nature Is capable of iu their passive resistance lo such inhuman laws as the British Government would foree them to submit to. There is no law, human or divine, that compels a nation to pnssively accept annihilation, anil it these British Tories ore permitted to heap additional wrongs on the Irish people, despair will nerve the Irish to active resistance and wild retaliation. The veiy deer turn on their pursuers when driven to bay, anil if nothing will satisfy the British Govcrnxicut but the destruction of the Irish people, Ireland will be justified before Uod and man in selling her life at the heaviest price she can obtain, and in using every wesponthe inuenuitv of man can placo within her
reach. I ask the juctiee or freedom-loving
people ot America to prevent this tenioie consummation ol! Biitish grime and miseovernment. Let the ondemnntion of the
British Government's policy in Ireland ring
from every community on this continent.
I ask the hondst nud fearless press of
America to sushi n th3 efforts of Mr. Pnrnell and Mr. Gladstone to inaugurate a poliov of justice and libtity in opposition to the tyranny ol Lord Salisbury. 1 ap
peal most lorcibly to the Irish race in America to arouse themselves to immediate action. In an e? peciul manner I address mvself to those of our blood whom God has
blessed with abundance to come forward and share in the buideus and sacrifices of
their neonle. No rank or nower can justi
fy any man in rtfnsiufi to identify himself with tho race to which he belongs, and the man who thus shirks his duty deserves the contempt of his f llow nu. With the fullest eoafidenee in their nover-failine fidelity to Ireland, I call
again upon the masses of the Irish raee in America to rei:eat the snlendid generosity
they have so "often extended toward their
stniL'Ldiii!? brethren 111 m laud. Air. l'arnen

The Murderers, of Kellogg Hiuholi Undergoing Trial for Their Lives.
rMOBKIO (HiXj.) COBRESPOBBEKOB. The trial of Schwartz and Watt, charged with the murder of Kellogg Nichols, the Rock Island express messenger, in March, 188C, has been in progress here for more than a week. Nothing was done the first week of the trial beyond securing m jury. On Monday the opening speeches of counsel were made, and on Tuesday (he introduction of evidence began. A large num
ber of witnesses are on hand.
them are Conductors Banforth, Wagner and Newcomber, Engineer Woods, Fireman Briggs, Baggageman Bamsey, Depotmaster Wheeler, and Brakemen Johnson, Thomas and Mulligan, all employes of the Bock Island Boad. W. A. Pinkatton is also here to testify. Quite a number of other witnesses are on hand, among them
tbe express employes.
ihe court-room seats about dtlu. Ihe Hon. Dorrance Debell. the preeidirgJndge,
sits at the north end. He is perhaps 45 years old, has a finely shaped head, and very intelligent countenance. At his left , sit the twelve "good men and true" who constitute the jury. Nearly all of them are
middle-aged men, and seven or tnem am farmers. Between the Judge and jury is table at which sit State's Attorney Carter and his associates in the prosecution, Judge
wing ana Mr. htougn.
in rront of tho Judge a long table ex
tends nearly across the room. At one end are eight or ten reporters, and at the other
sit counsel for the defense Col. Bowman
of Philadelphia, Judge Baker and Messrs.
Case and Hogan of Chicago, ana Judge
Jordan of Morris. Between counsel on
one side of the table are the two young men who are on trial for their lives, Henry
Schwartz and Newton Watt. Directly back
of them two brothers ot Watt and
Schwartz's father occupy chairs. State's Attorney O. N. Carter, in hia
opening address in behalf of the prosecution, said that the extreme cam taken in selecting the jury indicated
the great importance of the ease. He spent considerable time in explaining the law in its application to the case, dwelling particularly on the nature and force to be allowed circumstantial evidence, much of which, it is understood, will figure in this case. Next he spoke of reasonable -doubt, and cited authorities and decisions to make clear what and only what the jury was warranted in considering such wheff it should come to make np its verdict. Mr.
Carter then briefly summarized the killing of Express Messenger Kellogg Nichols ana tho circumstances immediately connected with the crime.
The ill-fated train upon which the mur
der was committed left Chicago at 11 o'clock on the night of March 12, a year ago. Wagner was conductor, Woods, engineer; Briggs, fireman; Nichols, the murdered man, expressman; Watf, one of the defendants, baggageman; Schwartz, the other defendant, front brakeman; and Johnson, rear brakeman. Watt, whoso position was that of front brakeman, had
on mat night tacen tne place 01 tne regular baggageman, Kumsey, who was sick. Schwartz, the rear brakeman, took Watt's place as front brakeman, and Johnson, a substitute, took Schwartz's usual place. After explaining how Nichols was kiUed between the time the train left Joliet and its arrival at Morris, he said that the next morning the world was asking who committed the horrible crime. "We of the prosecution," he said, continuing, "have ceased to ask that question. We believe we shall show yon beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants before you were the men whose minds planned and whose hands committed that murder." Watt's story, he said, about being covered by a revolver in the bands of a man on the roof of the car would be shown improbable if not impossible. In the express package of money stolen were a number of $50 bills. It would be shown that Schwarta had subsequently spent a great deal of money in bills of that denomination. It would be shown that Watt was a clone lriend of Schwartz; that Watt had had a number of private interviews with Schwartz, in which he talked with him about, the money he was spending, and that he told Watt that ho "was all right" and "had the matter fixed;" that he was well fixed, and wished Watt was as well off; that Watt replied that he would bo before long, and also that Schwartz subsequently gave Watt a package containing $3,000, and that Watt admitted it. The defense would doubtless claim that it would be impossible for either one of the defendants to have committed the crime without getting ooverered with blood, but the State proposed to show how it could have been done, and. desired to havo the jurors await the evidence before making up their minds on that point. Mr Carter spoke for an hour. He was interrupted frequently by Attorney Case, of the defense, who objected to many of the statements made. The Court overruled nearly all of his objections, and intimated that he ought not to interrupt with argument, as he seemed determined to do. Some thought that Mr. Case's main purpose was to annoy Mr. Carter and break the foree of what he was saying. Attorney Hogan made the opening statement in behalf of Schwartz, and Judge Baker in behalf of Watt, Mr. Case said the whole case against the defendants warn summed up in thtt; Messenger Nichols was killed on a train on which they were. Schwartz returned to Chicago on a train on which were found a sackel and a piece - of paper supposed to have some connection with the robbed safe, end Schwartz had been spending some money in $30 bills. That was the whole case, Mr. Hogan said. The case was called The People against Henry Schwartz and Newton Watt, but that was misnomer. It should be the Chicago, Bock Island Pacific Railroad Company against Schwartz and Watt, The Rock Island Company was one of the greatest corporations in this country, and in this case had resorted to all manner of deceit and false practice in order to convict the defendants. Recurring to Mr. Carter's assertion that Watt had admitted receiving the $3,000 package from Sohwartz and to other admissions claimed by the prosecution, Mr. Hogan said admissions and confessions were often made under circumstances of compulsion or browbeating, and that they Were rightly looked upon as very suspicions evi. dence. Judge Baker, in behalf of Watt, replied to Mr. Carter's opening speech, saying that he did not think the defense had been treated fairly. The State had furnished a list of witnesses by name simply, but had not furnished addresses or intimated what they expected to prove by them. The jury would find that the State would not be able to prove that the defendants or either of them actually killed Kellogg Nichols. Tbe State had not intimated that it expected to show that they were accessories before the fact. If it had any such expectations it should have announced it. Judge Baker Ihen went on to explain what constitutes an accessory before the fact and also after the fact. The defendants could not under the indictment be convicted and punished as accessories, after the fact, and the State, ho presumed, would make no sneh claim. Judge Baker gave a long explanation of the past life of Watt, and to some extent ot his parents and brothers, in order to show that ho had been well brought np and had led an oxemplary life. He made a plain aud telling plea to the jury to give the evidenoe impartial consideration sad to allow the defendants the bene! ot aft bte,
