The action of the Government, in im- mediately arresting nine of the; ol'fic:a'.s of the Home Bank, after the curator had given his finding of the conditions of the finances of the defunct institu- tion., is to be, commended, and ittis hoped that the fullest prosecution wilt take, place to sera if :these •officiate are, guilty of mismanagement of the bank's affairs. Perhaps; it would be advisable for the government to investigate the financial standing of all the banks, en that the public may know just which banks are •worthy of its confidence. When people deposit money, in abank under charter of the government, whet- her in current or savings department it is done with the feeling that ' the money will be handled, wisely, and at no time should there; be the least doubt that the money is absolutely( safe. The soutna banks and et is tor be hoped Arai the rest of them are, sound, evould wel- come a thorough, investigation of their financial standing, HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS.
