Advice ta 4 orreaoadeau We give the following free sdvice to cor respondents, which wo can afford to do as ws otole most sf it : In promulgating your esoteric cogitations, or writing superficial sentimentalities and philosophical observe tions on county events, beware of platitudin ous ponderosity. Let your language possess a classified conciseness, compact oomprehen sibleness, coalescent consistency. Kschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine affectati us. Lot your scribbled doscantings and unpre meditated expectations have intelligibility and veracious vivacity, without rhodeman tery or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllable profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaeeous vacuity, agonizing verbosity and veniloquent vapidity. Shun double-entendres, prurient jocosity sad pes tiferous slang, obscurant or apparent. In other words write plainly, naturally, sensibly, truthfully and purely and don't use big words.

At the appointed tunc a fair audience, mostly of farmers, was ti hand. The subject matter being ono f uncommon interest uieilicd for the occa sion a larger gathering. J J Williams, BsH j ofr-clo, ws a elected Chairman. Judge It P Dolse wis intro duced and spoke an hour and a half In a very plain, forcible manner. He said the Patrons of If usband ry, of which be was a member, had been taken to task for being present during the meet ing of the State la-glslsture, interfering with legislation and on general principals In an elaborate manner the Npesk-r justi fied their course by giving a complete statement of lbs ,l jut or that Society. Tbe Patrons are organized to prole.1 tho farmeia' liitoresta, it Is their duly to see that tbey have friendly lgiltitloii, and Ibis tbey have attempied to obtain. All reforms bavo Osigtshsied among tho peo ple. It has boon said tbst tbey stlnmpl to antegonlzo eommerclal iiiUireata; tbey do not, It Is timo something be done for tbe producing claee. In IflOO tbe wnalth of the producer and noaproducer In the D 8 wsa e-usll y divided . Now tbe Utur baa three fourths to tbe former's or.e fourth, a startling fact. It has been said that lbs Patrons do uot know what tbey want legislation Tor. Tbe speaker read from tbeir c mstituil in a llt of txielr wants showing that tbey do know. He ha i been accused, (piobably referring to the "Ore gon an,") of trying to humbug tbe feirn era. This he could not do, snd would not if be could. Here the speaker took up tbe subject of the Iloult, or ItefSB bill, tbe Moult bill differing from the Kgau bill oniy in that tbe latter read interstate Instead of elate commerce, and tbe Itegan h d providtd for a 3 cent paaaeiiger rale where tbe Moult bill calls for a 4 cent puiutei.ger tatc. Me shewed tbe marvellous m mstt-n' y I tbe "Orrgontsn." lle'.ore the meeting of ihe Hta!-) Legislature tbe "Urrgoniau" mentioned bow atmp'.e aid easily under stood the Itegeu bill was ; but wten its prototype; waa brought up in tbe Legisla ture, although tbe same except a men" Honed, ssld ibe Moult bill was covered up with technicalities aud could not be un deralood. Tbe bill provides tbst w shall treat each ether courteously, thai no pool lug shall be allowed, that no more shall be cbargsd fur a short thsn fur a lung hauling, and for a 3 cent limit, certainly all lobe easily understood. Is not 1 ge lation needed 011 these fiotlila. Now freight to Spokane Falls from tbe Kant is as much as to Portland and then back to Spokane Kails, and that ia tbe present principle. Our Senate and House instructed our members in Ceugreoa to vote for tbe I la gan bill, but when it is brought up here it is met by tbe Slate corporations, .jtiere being four railroad lawyers in the Senate to oppose the bill. Tbe opponent of tbe bill argue that tbe right to fix tbe rate is a vested one and cannot be diet orbed. We eay ll is not, and so Judge Waite, Chief Justice of the U.S. buprems Court, baa decided. Tbe Kegan bill passed tbe House, but failed in tee .Senate uv reason of the Laon led interest there. It will sgain come up. .Should we eleet a U 8 Senator who will vote against it ? Sol Hirach eppoeed it in the State Sviuue Tni a should be retusm bored. When a Railroad Is eulireiy within tbe state Congress cau not regulate it, and it Is for this reason the .Stale needs an indi vUual law, even if the Kegan bill pauses This Hoult bill is all tbe Patrons aektd for. for which they bave been taken 10 task. It is said tbe country is arrayed against Portland, The sneaker mentioned one important causa. By a aection of ibe Kevirad Statutes it was intended that navigation oa the river should be in com (istltion with tbe Ksiiroad, that, no cor poration or member of a corporation en gaged iu it, should bold slock or interest in tbe Railroad. Tueu freight was only I1.A0 per ton to Salem, but through cor porate interests centered in Portland a union resulting in the O R A N Co waa effected, and iminedietely ft night went up fl a ton. As it is estimate 1 500,000 tons annually pass north tbe amount hi easily figured out. A law restoring tbe section mentioned should be passed. The speak er also mentioned how the completion of the Locks of the Cascades had been kept back by tbe same corporate Interests, thus preventing competition up tbe Colombia. All these things show the necessity ol selecting men for office who will legi-da- live in the Interest of the people.

Beginning at about 7:51 a. m., tbe moon began plow ing her way, black and onlnous, acioss the sun's surface, like a cat in a milk pan. Slowly but surely she knocked the light out of old 80I until about 9 o'clock there was nothing left or him but a crescent, which we succeeded in capturing by our instantaneous process, and now prosent to our readers. From that time on Luna, like most of her sex. showed her lack of staying qualities, until finally she vanish ed at about 10:30 with a aickly wag or he bustle. Many people who imagined the moon was red now found ont that its real color is black, this making them realize very forcibly that what they generally see is only a reflection of the sun. An eclipse at this time, at the beginning of a new administration and when Albany people are beginning to liven up, has no peculiar significance. Thiags will go on just the same.
