LET THERE BE LIGHT.

Governor Hughes certainly voices the
sentiment OF the silent and long suffer
iEs majority Of American citizenship
when he urges further inquiry into the
methods by which legislative action has
been procured or frustrated. 10 lis rec

as IL ought 20 be, it would probably de-

whose Views and interests they are
supposed 10 represent through fear Of
political persecution than through avar-

probably tell interesting incidents OF
their experience as public men. which
would give the general public a clear
idea OF the difficulties with which their
representatives have 10 contend. And
there can be no doubt that such dis
