The most significant incident thus far
IN the inquiry of the Senate Committee
On Interstate Commerce is the admis-
sion by such prominent representatives
OF the railroad interest as Albert Fink
md G, r. Blanchard that national reg.
alatson is desirable. Mr.. Fink practi-
cally admitted before the committee that
the pool system is failure. and de-
clared that some way should be devised
Of framing schedules of rates that should
be approved by q Federal tribunal and
thereafter have the force of law. These
schedules should be published and con-
formity to them enforced. Mr.. Blanch.
ard declared his firm belief in the ne
cessity of national commission with
power to settle the questions of rates.
This is q remarkable change in the
railroad question, from positive de-
nial of national or state control, to an
admission that competition has made it
necessary for the existence of the roads,
or for what amounts to the same thing.

The National IIuanoes,

The decrease shown in tho public debt by the
statement issued for May ISL 49, AS, and for
the eleven months, $54,5Oo,oOa There is little
difference between the figures for last month
and those for May, 1894; but, comparing the
eleven months ended With tile corresponding
period or last year, there is difference OF
over $37 COG, 600 in favor of the latter PERIOD
and It lis not likely that this difference will BE-
materially reduced when the transactions of
June are recorded. The surplus for the last
fsca! year was over $11O,ON,UO 1t will
hardly exceed $63, 100000 this year Compar-
ell with May |, there is no change in the inter
est bearing debt and the non interest bearing
column shows reduction of less than $40
thousand dollars. The So called decrease in
the debt for the month therefore consists of
increased cash in the treasury, which deducted
from the obligation, shows that tho treasury is
stronger by the sum stated than it was one
month ago. The available cash balance is
$lG2, 1M,27 an increase over May of Al, OGO,-
OOO. This is the largest balance held by the
treasury since July, 1881, when it exceeded
$l71 100000, and it is doubtful whether the
present balance has ever been so large with
the single exception named. Most of the de-
ficioncy appropriations made by congress
have been paid, together with other large sums
provided for extraordinary expenditures, such
az Alabama awards and New Orleans expo-
sitien.

A correspondent says there ore more
unmarried ladies', young and old, in
Washington than in any town of its
size in the country-possibly in the
world. Consequently there are all
kinds, from the darkest of brunettes to
the highest of blondes. The skeptic
cannot find anything to growl at in the
variety. If he is capable Of beng
pleased-that is if his heart is not al
together hardened, he will meet his
