This is a truth which has long ago been

TIE JERSEY CITY NEWS, however, in

from Newark itself-from its official doc

no mind can retain the least yestige Of

1t has been the practice Of certain

Newark, as Pharisaic and hypocritical as
she is corrupt. through her newspapers
and public speakers, has long led this
chorus of unmerited abuse.
The present revelation is made, not in
retaliation. but simply to stop systema-
tic, organized. persistent course of in

more in sorrow than in anger So far
from desiring to injure Newark, The

realization of her sinfulness.

FISH In SCHOOLS.
Swapping aIaekerel Actually Driving the
Small Fry Ashore.

Small Fry As hnre.
Special to The Jersey Cftg Neles
SEA ISLE CITY. Sept. 10, 1s9l.-Not for
many years has the fishing along the coast
been as good as it is at present. and as it
has been for some weeks. The fish are
running in great schools. and at almost
any part OF the coast the weak fish are
being chased in shore by the schools of
swapping mackerel, which prey on the
smaller fish and drive them in shore until
they were scoopel up by the hundreds.
Sea bass were never more plentiful,
and they run very large and take the
hook very freely. 1t is no unusual thing
for fisherman TO get 200 pounds in the
course of a few hours, and sometimes
they cease fishing after filing their boats,
becoming tired OF pulling the fish in.
A school WAS chased in the beach yes
terday, near Somer's Point. by the snap
ping mackerel, and the villagers picked
them up with their hands as they floun-
dered on the sand in their efforts to get
away from their enemies.
Sportsmen from all over the country are
visiting here now and enjoying the whole
sale slaughter of FISH, for slaughter 1t is.
as the scientific angler does not see any
amusement in picking fish up on the
beach, preferrlng to cast his line and
play him in the deep awhile before haul
ing him in. The abund ance of fish Is a
bad thing for the fishermen, as it brings
the prices down until it hardly pays TO
catch them for the market.
