While others to the ocean go, Or on tho mountains roam, And struggle with the crowds. know Enough to stay at homo. While others toss upon 0 cot Or in buggy bed, And starve and swelter when it's hot At homo I'm way ahead. No bowl and pitcher with rub Of yellow soap can beat My clean and spacious bathing tub Within my homo 60 sweet. Instead of tipping walters Just tip my chair of ease, And have at home 8 full supply Of any thing please. Instead of dressing for show And at sad expense. At home in negligee I go
 With comfort, o, immense. Instead of being forced to pay The vnlue of the earth. For nothing ct home can stay And get my moneys worth. Instead of being snubbed and thrown In some strange attic, hot; l, ln Q house that's all my own. Can choose the coolest spot. But don't suppose mover take A little timc for fun; Hike tho ocean and the lake
 And mountains-every ono. Isimply wait until tho sty.
 Lish season has it's close, Because man as wise as
 Takes comfort where he goes.

 The Strikers Win in Liverpool.
 LONDON, Sept. 5.-The strikers con- mittee this morning decided to allow the men now out to resume work on any wharf where sixpence is paid for ordinary work, eightpence for overtime, and where the ''plus'' on piece work is equally divided between the journey men and the foreman.
 These are the terms for which the strike was inaugurated, but notwith> standing the fact that at several of the wharves the strikers might have gone to work at these terms any time during the past ten days, the committee re- fused to allow any man to resume work until the dock companies had been brought to terms. The consent now given is therefore accepted as sign of weakening, and the early collapse of the strike is again confidently predicted.
 MANIFESTO FROM THE STRIKERS.
 The Strike Committee issued a mani festo this morning denouncing the ac- tien of the police in firing upon the strikers yesterday. The committee had considerable trouble in agreeing upon the wording of the manifesto, some of the more violent of the members urg- ing that 1t should call upon the strikers to arm themselves in defense of their lives. It is reported that Burns, the conservative leader of the strikers, Is having great trouble to keep his com mittee within bounds, and that a propo- sition to arm the strikers out of the funds contributed by charitable citizens for food was defeated by only two votes
 HATRED FOR THE POLICE.
 But violent as is the temper of the committee it is marvel of moderation when compared with that of the men. The news of the fight with the police at the dock of the Peninsular and Oriental Company and the shooting of one of the strikers in fusilade from the revol- vers of the police, spread among the men like wildfire and created the great est excitement, Threats of vengeance are heard on all sides and it is doubtful if even the great influence of Burns will avail to prevent further bloodshed. The men speak of the shooting as 'un. provoked murder" and 1t is fortunate for the police that at the critical mo. | ment the men lacked a leader, for they certainly were not wanting in courage | to face the deadly rcvolvers pointed to- | ward them. With a leader to give the | word, they would undoubtedly have made short work of the handful of po liccmen who opposed them.
 1 SWEATERS" MUST GO.
 Tho shippers are determined that after the present troubles have been settled they will no longer permit the dock companies to carry on the sweat
 ing system under which they and tho laborers suffer. They will insist upoI loading and discharging their own ves | sells, will hire the men to do the work
