WAR ON THE CARP.
Determined EAort TO Exterminate
the Fish,
Special - the Jersey City Netrs.

BURLINGTON. july q. 1S95.-The New
Jersey Fish Commission has started a
movement for the purpose of extermina-
ting carp in the streams that were liber-
ally stocked with THAI species of fish a
few years ago. 1t has been discovered
that carp live entirely On fish spawn and
that they multiply very rapidly. Since
their introduction in local waters other
food fish nave gradually diminished and
it is believed, unless some organized
move toward determination of the carp
is made, they will soon be in full pos
session of the local waters.
Fish Commissioner William G. Wise,
of this city. has granted special permits
sion to a number of local fishermen to
fish for carp, other fish taken at the
same time to be turned over to him for
stocking purposes.
Last night four hundred pounds of
carp were taken and today another haul
was made of 400 pounds. The plan is to
set the nets along the fats at high tide
when the carp run in among the can
docks to feed on fish spawn deposited
there. When the tide recedes the carp
run out again for deeper water and are
caught in the nets by the thousands.
The same movement has been started in
other places and deep inroads are being
made on this species of the finny tribe.

AID TO THE INJURED
Appeal to Be Made to all
Denominations in Aid of
Christ Hospital.
NOBLE WORK OF THE GUILDS
Many Thousands Raised for a
Great Charity-Business De-
preston Affects the
Hospital.
WORK OF THE GUILDS

A Protestant Episcopal clergyman of
this city is preparing a circular to be
sent to every Christian minister in the
county asking him to unite in having
special services on which will be known
as Hospital Sunday. The idea is to tax
up a collection on a certain fixed day
for the benefit of Christ Hospital in Jer-
sey City.
Although this praiseworthy institution
is under the control of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese of Newark, yet it is
practically unsectarian. This can be
seen by referring to the aunual reports
of that place. Last years statement
showed that of those occupying beds in
the Hospital there were:-Episcopals, IS;
Roman Catholics. 203, and all denomin-
atoms. 27S.
From this the protector of the scheme
ergues that it would not be improper to
ask the support of priests of the Roman
Catholic Church as well as non-confor-
mist ministers. The efficient manage
ment of the Hospital requires annually a
large sum of money. and this must be
raised by private contribution. So great
are the needs of this charity that the
council and Hospital guilds devote close
attention and continual activity to keep
the financial affairs in shape. Business
depression has operated seriously against
the Hospital. and the years subscrip-
ions bave fallen far short of the usual
standard

Were it not for the noble and unselfsh

ever been reeeived in tie history OF the
labors in raising endoT ments for the
permanent support of the Hospital. In
1888 the endowment of beds through
them was reported to be 10000. Last
| year it was increased to $4,000, and this
| year it may reach the handsome sum
of $40,0 00."
And so this noble work goes solely by
the persistent energy of the Guilds, the
officers and Medical Board, and a siren
uous effort. is to be made to carry out
the project of a general Hospital Sun

may be realized for the benefit of the

Is it to be cause for prompt arrest TO
have any acquaintance with or relations
of any sort with a young woman who
chooses to shoot herself?
Yesterdays and today's papers furnish
some other queer examples of the mania
foy arrest. There is the case OF a
young woman of nineteen who fell out
of a window in q tenement house.
through which she was leaning to hang
clothes on a line. We find her father
placed under arrest and held to await
the eoronerss action. For Heavens
sake. why2
Then we have one woman arrested
as she comes out of a store where she
had beer to change a S. bill. She is ac-
tually sent to the Island, and only re-
leased when a writ of habeas corpus is
made out. The police try to defend the
action by saying the woman was OF loose
character. Are we then to understand
that mere appearance on the street Is
to be the cause for the arrest of any
~
woman whose morals the police choose
to suspect?
And then we have another woman ar
rested on a charge of intoxication,
though she says she a drunk nothing
and her husbend declares that in twenty
seven years of married life he never saw
a sign of liquor on her.
OF a piece with these arrests are the
raids recently made on bicycle riders
who happened to ride a block or SO
without discovering that their lamps had
been put out by bouncing over New
York's very middling pavements.
In a word, personal liberty has come
to be a thing of no value in New York.
In the atmosphere created by the
P%arkhursts and COTS, the Roosevelts
and Martins. the Conlins and Cortrights
and Picketts nobody is safe. In the
countries of Europe where monarchicai
oppression is supposed to prevail, the IN
warranted arrest of a reputable citizen
is ant to create a revolution in the police
force. and at least in England the unjust
arrest OF a woman is almost important
enough to the public to defeat a ministry
in Parliament.
We have forgotten. in these parts, the
| cardinal maxim of the common
that it is better fifty guilty men should
! escape than that one innocent should
be injured. The sooner we get back to it
as a working principle. the better for the
country.

SATURDAY. JULY 81. 1895.
This paper is Democratic IN principles
end is independent in its uie'os on q" foeas
questions.


The present prospects are that. SO far
as the Street and Water Board Is con-
cerned. a water contract will be awarded
next week. 1t will go to either the East
Jersey Water Company on one OF its
supplemental bids. or to the Jersey City
Company. the third competitor, the
Rockaway and Hudson being regarded as
dead since the exposure of its unwar-
ranted claims made at the public hear
ing on Wednesday afternoon.
The situation as it now exists is a re-
markable commentary on the folly and
false pretences which accomplished the
rejection of the former set Of bids. OF
the host of projectors who then claimed
that they had scheme to provide the
city with water much cheaper than the
formal bidders and hat they had CAPT
and Hudson is the only one which
showed its head upon the re-advertise-
ment for bids. and its offers and claims
were proven so hollow on a cursory in
CURRY that even Mr. Joseph A. Dear
and the Board of Trade withdrew the
t'moral, support which they had pre-
viously extended to it.
The award of a contract by the Street
and Water Board is only the first step
towards the making of such a contract.
j The award must be concurred in by the
To-z-l - ,;-o.aa a41 ~afiHn6 hU the
Mayors signature. Whether it can pass
these ordeals remains to be seen. 1t is
said that President Jones and Mr.. Har-
denbergh. of the Board of Finance. are
opposed to any contract the "opens of
which they cannot automatically prove
to b. within the present cost of main
works. Their position is stated in var
ious forms of words. but we think we
do not do them injustice in saying that
this is. at the root of it. their idea.
There is some wisdom and Judgment in
Their position on this basis; but we can
not but think a little broader view
FFOttt ~ t-N4A hN0N sOON "~N '
almost instantly bring larger water
rents and that thus the substantial pro-
lection to the treasury which they aim
at will be found in enterprise as well as
supineness. while the city will be a
gamer by the former in a hundred diff
ferent ways.
We hope the matter will be speedily
disposed of. one way or the other. If the
present bids are negatived. we hope the
subject will be definitely dropped for at
least a year. There is too much scan-
dial and too much agitation in the strug-
giles that have now been going on for
nearly two years. There has been quite
some expense to the city. too, n if nc
contract is made. there is nothing good
TO show for the money spent and the
trouble taken.
