The hearty support of all is expected
in our efforts to bring about better

against one who in public makes a
pretense of being friendly to the cause,
while in fact he is its most persistent
and aggressive enemy.

Long Shore.

Standing in the line are We
All on the edge of the street
We're longshoremen!
Hale and hearty and strong.
We're from the tenement district,
And we're out for job.
Wayho! but it's cold wayho!
Stamp your feet there, fellows,
Stamp your feet with will
There's a saloon behind,
Hot and CHEEKY its drinks
But q days works ahead,
Work that will warm our blood
And gold that will warm our pockets.
All, here comes the rollicking ship,
And here's the stevedore, boys,
Here's the stevedore,
Chipping and CHEEKY and small;
Stand up straight like man
And you're in for a good days work.
He'll be down here in minute,
So keep your faces steady
What, rent is due in week?
Oh. you're not the only fellow,
Got three kids myself.
And money don't grow in the gutter.
All! never you mind, old man,
Things will straighten thmeslves-
All! brace up!-but here he is
My heart is beating little
He's passed us by, he has,
But don't look so terribly down,
Guessed we be turned out of the rooms
How much have l got?
Fifteen cents, so come along.
Good day to spend in saloons.
Where it's warm and pleasant and easy.
Then Wen forget our troubles
And the others can work while we drink.
Yes, we're longshoremen,
Hearty longshoremen,
Longshoremen out of job,
Easy life-don't you think so?
The day is bitter and raw,
Guess the kids are cold.
Yes! I'd like to turn homeward,
But-the saloons are much warmer.
Wonder we grumble a little
Whish, but the wind is ALLOWING
Hist to them trundling the cotton,
Heaving the barrels of sugar.
Working and toiling and sweating,
Shouting and straining their muscles,
Piling the cases of canned goods,
Banging the pieces of iron;
Hist to the rumbling of trucks.
Shouting and crying of men.
That is what is called life!
And we're out facing the wind,
Wayho! but it's cold, wayho!

HARBoR NOTES.
Items Of Interest Picked Up Along the
Water Front.

A portion Of the wharf at Long Island,
which was blown away during the
storms of the winter, will be rebuilt
Other wharves and waiting rooms along
the line are also to be put in frst-class
shape.
The Sebascodegsn will finish her Rock
land runs about the middle Of March
when the Merryooneag will take her
place Both Of the Harpswell steamers
will then be thoroughly overhauled for
the summer business.
An agent of the Stonington line was
in the city last week and was very anx-
ious to buy the Sebascodegan, declaring
that she was just such steamer as he
had been looking for for a summer pleas
ure boat. 1t is impossible for the Harps-
we'll company to get along without the
steamer during the summer. Ii Is quite
likely that tho steamer may be sold
next fall, however, and q new steamer
built to replace her.

COASTERS EXPECT GOOD SEASON

Bangor, February SS.-Masters and
owners of the coasting fleet are preparing
for the shipping season of 1893, and gen.
eral repairs upon tho vessels now in
winter quarters will be in full progress IN
a few days. Not for 20 years past has the
prospect for the coasting trade been 50
bright as at this time. and 1t is likely
thnt all the moderate sized schooners Of
the eastern fleet will find plenty of bust
ness from the frat.
The latest reports from New York are
to the effect that the demand for EASTERN
spruce lumber, both random and dimen
sions, will be from 30 to 40 per cent bet
ter this year than in 1888, and that the
closing prices of last year will be adopted
as the opening prices this spring.
Freights are to open, from all accounts
at nearly the top prices of last fall. There
will be fewer vessels to carry lumber this
year than last. because the great gales
of last fall and winter sent a lot Of the
Oldest vessels as we'll as some Of the best,
to the bottom. 1t is estimated that the
Maine fleet will be so sail short of last
GEAR and that of the vessels which sail
regularly from Bangor at least 20 have
been wrecked. This will tend to keep
ffeighterates at q good figure.

SUMNER STEAMSHIP SERVICE.
Thomson Line wn Essssi,sh . Weekly
service.

,,Negotiations have been penaiuc
for some time with the Thomson line
and 1t 10 now practically settled that that
steamship company Is to run Its boats &c
Portland this summer Mr.. W. A Coates
the Thomson lines ssent in this city,
was seen BY q reporter yesterday morning
and admitted that 1t was practically
settled that their company would operats
weekly service between Portland and
London. Mr.. Coates said 1t was not the
purpose to lessen the Montreal service
and this would necessitate some new
boats for the Portland London traffic. A
weekly line Of ocean steamships will re-
quire six boats and the Thomson line will
either buy or charter some new ones for
this purpose.
Agent Frederick Smith Of the Grand
Trunk said. also. that he knew everything
was practically settled between tho Grand
Trunk and the Thomson line and that
there would certainly be . weekly service
this summer to London. He expects to
hear from General Manager Hays within
. week or so and then the official an
oancement will be made.
There was also rumor that the Allan
line Is willing to send two boats q month
from Liverpool, but this story could not
be verified.
