The WEST TO THE FRoNT.-The act for which
Speaker Kerr has been most sever ely censured,
is the most commendable act that he has per-
formed-the selection of Cbarmen of Standing
Committees. He has signifed to the East that
there is a West, and that the West shall be rec
ognized as power in the land. While the East
held the power in Congress, the West was treat
ed as very Insignificant portion of the country.
The bulk Of the legislation was monopolized by
the East. TheIe were always millions to apPro-
pirate for the improvement of seacoast harbors,
but it was unconstitutional to appropriate for
the improvement of Western rivers aud har-
bors. Even when the census showed the South
and West to have the preponderance Of popula-
tion, it was almost impossible for these sections
to obtain a fair representation, SO unwilling was
the East to yield power which she had clung
to long after that upon which it had originally
been based had passed fsom her. On the curren-
cy question, too, the East has dictated the policy
of the Government. Now is the first time that
she has been given back seat; aud even now
she is felcitating herself with the idea that she
will control legislation by means of the superior
parliamentary skill and experience of her men,

How long does it take to transmit a
message through the Atlantic cable ?
The New York Journal of Commerce
has been investigating this question,
and, simple as it looks at first, there
are many singular and interesting
points in the answer. When the cleo
trieity is applied to the cable at one
end, two-tenths Of a second pass be-
fore any effort is felt at the other end,
and three seconds are consumed before
the full course of the current is in ac-
ton. The first signal is felt in four
tenths of second, but the following
ones go through more rapidly. AS
many as seventeen words have been
sent over The Atlantic cable in one
minute: fifteen can usually be sent
under pressure, and twelve words a
minute is a good working rate. Mes
sages of twelve words have been sent
all the way from New York to London
in two minutes. A fact not yet ex-
planned by the scientists is that the
electricity does not move as rapidly
from New York to London as in the
opposite direction.
