NUMBER LEAVING FORjniCHEtSTOWN Many National League Leaden On Their Way to Attend O'Brien's ' Trial , A SURE CONVICTION PREDICTED Strong Probability That the Jail Will Be Stormed and Ills Release Attempted Dnvltt Sail < For America Foreign. OfTIo Attund the Trial. ( f.0purf0ht 1W7 hu Jumejf Gordon Hermetl.l C'OHK , Sept 22. [ Now York Herald Cable-Special to the BKK. ] Many lead en of the National league hereabouts are leaving to attend to-morrow at Mitchells- town , on the northern borders ot this county , the trial or what will bo called the trial of O'Brien. There will be a large concourse there from many parts and If O'Brien would consent which he will not , there would bo * i rescue. 1 was at the now celebrated town yesterday and tlio forces of constabulary with soldiers were Increasing. The allugcd crime for whlelt ho will bo undoubtedly con victed before two lory Justices , whoso Inter pretation ot his act really becomes equal to an Impromptu statute , Is simply this : When addressing a meeting of his own constituents bo pointed out that It the Mitchollstown tenants were not evicted before passing the land act they would become entitled ttt law to certain rights to which parliament tiad al ready declared them morally entitled. Ho was reminded that that the government had passed through all but the final stages ot the bill , which would bo some protec tion to the Mltchcllstown tenants who were threatened with eviction , and althoucb the measures had not technically become a law there could be no doubt that as a government measure It would be carried In a few days. The owner ot the Kingston cs tales , however , sought to forestall parlia ment and by evicting tenants before the bill rrcclved loyal assent to deprive them of their status. The Freeman's Journal , prefacing the trial , said tersely : "Tho case for the crown against O'Brien Is : Ho commanded the tenants to protect themselves by delaying evictions until the leglslatuio protected them. " Com menting , It adds : "Ho did not counsel violence lence , riot , insurrection or anything that would bo called sedition. Ho merely ad vised , as their member of parliament , that they should not allow themselves to bo tricked or surprised out of the advantages that parliament had already resolved to con fer upon them. "If the government were sincere In their protestations that they de- filrcd to check harsh evictions and to ulvc tenants legal protection , thereby remov ing the causes of disturbance and crime , they would have recog nized In Mr. O'Brien n true friend of order and { justice. Instead they have marked him for the plank bed and the other resources of civilization that exist within their jails for the punishment of Irish political prisoners. Possibly they think li necessary to remove him out of their way. 11 so they but honor him. Ho has been a de termined foe ot Injustice , whether wrought by a landlord or by a government. " All this because It rcptesents the voice ol the people everywhere whom I meet Doubtless by Sunday O'Brien will return tt his plank bed as one whom the coercion ncl will term a convict , lie will , however , reslsl to the utmost the degradation of dress and manacle work. Many bellevo tnat the jal In which lie Is to bo confined will bo stormed and not oven Parnell can ultimately qnlo the popular feeling. Some Irish members o : parliament have uttered far moro sedition language , as this Is delined by the prpscn government than will to day be debltec against O'Brien. Mr. Labouchere's rccen advice was clearly revolutionary. Tlio mil versal belief hero and throughout England 1 that O'Brien's real alleged crime consisted Ii bearding Lord Landsdowne and that t avenge the latter this pretext of sedition ha been selected.

To-day the United States , In agriculture and Income , stands ahead ot all civilized countries , the Income reaching , according to undisputed author ity , In grain crops , cattle , foiostry , etc. , over 83,000,000,000 a year. This Is a remarkable statement , which , while arousing our pride , should prove an incentive to greater results. What we have we must retain and. gain more , and to do so wo must establish a more scientific bus- ban Jry , which can be most affectively and surely promoted by such organization of farmers as this ono 1 now address , and can be further accelerated in a great decree by the practice of those economies on the farm which have been too much neglected. "The agriculture of a nation Is not only the means of private wealth and Individual happiness , but It Is the power which sustains every other Interest Commerce , manu factures and the arts are all dependent upon It Lot us see what we have done and then consider what remains to do.
