what can bo done to stop this wanton piracy. In the winter of 1884 the New Jersey Legislative passed a law making It Illegal and punishable by floe and imprisonment for tbc Meuhad. n fishermen to operate wi bin three milea -of the coast. From present and past experience this law might as well be dropped from tlie statutes so far as the flsbermi u arc concerned. They make no pretense at obeying it, but on the contrary a. c Ik- coming bolder and bolder. We have bam informed that there 1> no law applying to sea fisbtog, and as these Menhaden boats land their cargoes in nelg, .boring states where their crews reside, it seems Impossible to reach theiu by Stale -unto*. The general laws of the Cnltra State* regulating seaboard commerce makes the states practically Inoperative. .So under existing condition of thlnga the present outrageous traffic in ruluing one of the principal of food supplies and It will go on till stopped by federal -tatun backed by strong public opinion. Tim Helping Hand Society of this city it one that has done much good in this city among the poor. It- managers make an appeal to the benevolent for aid in mon.y. clothing, fuel or medicines. Tne following is the report of the secretary from Sept. 3:, 18S7, t .. April 1, 1887 - The society during the year have received 845 00 in cash.
