THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Western papers are making ssrguine
estimates Of the transfer Of pover;to The
West ia Congress on the basis Of the cen
sus Of 1870. They claim that the centre
Of political power, now reposing near Co.
lumbus, Ohio, will then be moved to a
point near Layhye.te, Indiana. These
calculation, give the eastern States Of the
North Sc representatives in all after the
next census, and the Western, including
the Pacific States, 90 or 90. New Eng
land, which in 1910 bad IS members Of
Congress, and now has 81, will,a ifpresent
total membership Of The Aouss is re:
tanned, be likely to be cut down to %.
Tie Western States in 1870 bad but 80,
now have g, b. the next apportionmcn,
will probably have ten more.
