ABOUT HAlLUCINATlONS.

1t is not on record that a breech-
clouted Hottentot has ever tried to give
instruction in higher mathematics or to
be chief engineer of a big telescope.
Unique as such an exhibition would
be. it would hardly be more absurd,
and could not be more silly, than the
following from the Los Angeles
Times:
1t is but short time ago that many
misguided men. both in this State and
elsewhere throughout the Nation
thought that Congress could, by the
passage of a simple statute. absolutely
govern the price and value Of silver
for all time. They refused to listen to
reason and experience, but volubly
chattered away over this Drained
hallucination with an assurance. con-
fdence and dogmatism that made the
judicious grieye They thought they
could control the great currents Of
trade and business by a simple twist
Of the wrist, and create values by leg
islative mandates This folly has now
passed into history.
If any men ever thought that Con
gress could, by the passage of n
simple statute. absolutely govern the
price and value" Of silver tor all time
or anytime they certainly were mis-
guided. We would like to have the Los
Angeles Times furnish the name of
just one man known outside of his
voting precinct who ever thought that
Congress could enact law that would
govern the price and value" of silver
for any time.
But there were many misguided
men who knew and know that Law
effects the price of silver or iron II
the same way that 1t effects the price
of gold. Among those misguided mer
may be mentioned the late William
