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.

he did was in the Interest of these railways.

The law ot Illinois relating to conspiracy

"democrat day" at tlio Mcllenry county fair ,
and 1\000 people were present , mainly to
bear Congressman Randall , ot Pennsylvania ,
who had been announced as the orator of
the day. Mr. Uandall was accompanied by
First Assistant Postmaster General Steven
son , Collector Zolborgcr , ot Chicago , Con
gressman Springer and General Ncwberry ,
of the Chicago Iroquols club. Largo delega
tions were present from surrounding towns.
Both Messrs. Uandall and Stevenson made
addresses to the gicat crowd , Mr. Steven
son confined himself to an eloquent dis
course upon the growth of the west. Mr.
Uandall spoke for over an hour.
The speaker's topic was "Agriculture. "
He said : "In the past the American people ,
In all the material elements which go to
make up a nation's prosperity and the hap
piness of her people , have advanced morn
rapidly than any nation ot modern times.
Wo are reaching out towards the perfection
of the science of agriculture. If 1 can
claim commendation for any public service 1
feel It Is for my earnest efforts
to appreciate and foster the resources of our
natural capabilities and wealth. 1 have come
to realize that statesmanship , after all , con
sists chiefly In the full and true knowledge
of a nation's resources. 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. "
The speaker then gave a fuv facts broiieht
out by the census returns ot the
growth of agriculture and the manu-
tacturlnelndusfrlosofthoUnlted States from
.KK ) to iSbO. "Agriculture and manufacturing
lionld go hand In hand. They have , for we
land at the head of all nations In azrlcul-
.ural productions and in wealth. The
American people , as a mass , are better
'loused , Industrious men. better fed , wives
nd children bolter clothed and educated
han the people of any part of the world. "
The speaker gave statistics showlnc the
normous increase In dairy products ,
loforrlnu to the result of tlio
products of the country ,
10 said : "In IsTfl tlio balance of our trade
with foreign nations amounted to S' , Oll,4Sl ! ;
'n Ib81 , $ r > 9,703,71 When the Imports ox-
jocd the exports the gradual drain of gold
will commence. To meet such a debt and a
itringcnt period of money , you will at once
ice the Importance to our financial sound
ness that our agricultural Interest should In
very way bo kept up to Its maximum. "

attorney a claim against the estate of ex-
Senator Samuel D. Peterson , which la accom
panied by char JOB which , would be serious If
hey were more definite , but which , In their
present slmpo , look more like potty splto
, vork on Anderson's part than corruption on
'eturson's. ' The charges in effect are as fol-
aws : Peterson was for six or seven years
irior to January 1 , IbSG , when his term ex
pired , a prominent member ot the loclsla-
ure. Ho was at St Paul last winter ,
and it Is alleged that ho wts given
$20,000 to use among the members of
ho legislature to Influence them against
ho high license bill and Ignatius Donnelly's
rallroa.l bill. Prominent railway olllcials
are connected with tha rumor as having fur
nished Peterson with the money. Anderson
claims that ho has not been paid for hU
share of the work , except In part and his
suit will be broinrlit to recover what Is due
him. Ho promises sensational disclosures
when the suit Is brought State Treasurer
Bobleter said to-day that while ho and Sen
ator Peterson did not always acreo politi
cally ho thought him an honest man and so
far as he knew bore a good reputation. Ho
lid not think there could bo anything
In the charges of Anderson. Anderson Is
now employed by the Hemrlch Brewing
association as a solicitor. Asked to-day
it the charges ho is alleged to have made
against Ex-Senator Peterson were true , he
replied : " 1 have nothing to say. " A tele
gram was received to-night from New Him ,
which states that Kx-bcnator Peterson denies
tlio allegations ot Anderson In toto. Ho
claims to have proof of a blackmailing
scheme in the shape of letters , etc. , from
Anderson and threatens to make it warm for
that person.
