score doesn't begiu to convey to any

coutest was waged lor the supremacy
on the diamond . It was a brilliant
game on both sides and If those in
attendance had been unacquainted
with the players and not informed
what teams they were, there Is no
doubt but m large majority would
have thought they were witnessing a
game between professionals. The
Hillsboro players had more hits but
were unable to bunch them and in
stead of having the scores on their
tallv sheet are compelled to be satis
fied with the honor ol having twelve
men left on bases.
John llarkins pitched great ball,
ncf nlinif the third inning, w hen he
sent three men down on balls, w hich

At tho Charleston, 8. C, expoai
tion, Saturday, April 26, was Oregon
Day, and although at the extreme
eastern part of the country aud far
away from Oregon, there were Ore-
go'ilaus there which fact wasempha
siZ-tl. The orator of the day was
Congresamau Time. H. Tongue. A
copy of tte CbarlebtJU News has
been received containing Mr. Tongue's
address, also an editorial published
two days later making mention of H.
I bis editorial reads :
uIa bis eloqueut speech at the ex
position on Saturday Congressman
Tongue of Oregon, paid a line tribute
to the spirit of the pioueers who con
quered that great commonwealth
from the wilderness aud mado It one
of the richest aud must progressive
tu the union. Iucideutially, and
without any luteutuii of exposing
one of the cherished weaknesses ol
his Cbarleetou audieuce, be said some
things which they cannot 'hear too
often for their own good, as follow:
'"It is not the mau who issatisfied
with his lot aud surrouudiugs that
goes to the front. Conteutment Is
lie enemy of achievement. Content
ment never suffers, never sacrifices.
Contentment betters no couditious,
rights no wrongs. A contented man
would build no factory, construct no
steamboat, engage In uo railroad en
terprise. The men who have the
money lo eugage in great undertak
ings would have enough to supply
all the necessaries of life and many
of its luxuries, could pass their days
in ease and leisure, pursuing only
their own pleasures, free from toil
aud swear, if they were only con
tented. Contentment may tiring
happiuess, it may be desirable for
the individual, but it makes no pro
gress and is not iu the Interest of
humanity at large.'
"The men who opened Ibe West
to settlement and civilization were
men with some higher notion of the
reason for existence than the applica
tion of ancient formulas to modern
ueeds and conditions. The spirit
which controlled them and made
them successful is the spirit which
would make Charleston once more
great cemmercial city. It is not the
man who Is satisfied with his lot and
his eurrouudings that goes to the
front. Don't forget that! What Is
ueeded in Charleston is something of
the spirit of the pioneer who built
up Oregon."
