PASS BILL SECOND TINE.
Senate Substitutes It for House
Navy Yard Track Bin.


Senator Carter yesterday had the Sen
ate pass a bill which it had already
passed, providing for the extension of the
tracks Of the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company TO the
Washington Navy Yard.
The bili, which had passed on February
Y last, was passed yesterday as a sub
stitute fer the House bill. which passed
that body on April % last. The effect Of
the action taken yesterday throws the
whole question as between the two bills
into q conference, and it may result in a
deadlock such as has long existed in the
case Of the Union Station tracks.
The two bills vary mainly in the route
laid down for the new track connection
and in allowing compensation to the rail-
road company for the acquisition of GER
tain private property needed for the new
extension.

What would become of an infant if
it We're deprived of public assistance,
when the mother is unable to provide
for it? Ought society give up rhe
feeble creature to premature death,
or perhaps to abandonment? asks a
writer in Charities and the Common
er, Great dangers threaten the new
born infant; if the mother has sinned
and if she is determined to hide her
sin ut any cost, the only mears Of
saving her from crime, from abortion
or incanticids, is by providing places
wue;e she can leave the child. For
merly this abandonment was left to
chance; lately there has been estab-
lished at first in Paris, then through
out France. the system of so-called
secret admission. All infants under
seven months are received into the
founding asylums without any legal
form. The expense of this compulsory
assistance is borne either by the COM
mune. the department, or the state.
Charge is taken of these wards until
hey reach their majority. They are
placed out in the families of peasants
and their frequent adoption by their
foster parents is most encouraging
phenomenon. However. in order that
desertion may not become the general
rule. hut rather remain the last pain
full resort, the rupture of all relations
between mother and child is demand
ed. The loving and tender mother
must thus make a most painful sac
ritice; only the most valid reasons
could force her to submit TO this cruel
separation. On this account the law
for the relief % infants provides that
all deserted mothers, married or sin
gle. are entitled TO pecuniary aid. in
order TO enable them 10 nurse and take
care Of their infants.
