The Toronto World is light headed, and is getting worse instead, ot better. The fol- lowing is a sample of eits ravings,, which we Aake from a eca.re (reticle in its Satarda,y edition : Ontario stands to -day disgraced before all her sister provinces, and, in view of thoec facts, Mr. Hardy ehould either reEign and make way for aancceseor who will appeal to° ihe peeple, or, feiling that, then he ought to act on his awn responsibility and make a straight appeal to the electorate. To try and saatch one victory here and another there, in the two or three bye -elections that are yet to be held, is only to delay the issue and to meke the exieting stench still more noisome. To fight the bye -elections, to call a session of Parliament, can only deley and at the same time aggravate the situation. There is, therefore, only one dean, straight, up -and -up way Out of the difficulty, a way that will clear the air and restore public confidence, and thet is to let the people judge. ,A general electoral fight in the open must take place. In its frantic efforts to out Herod big rival, the Mail, the World is making a laughing stock of itself. If the responsible, editor ha3 become light headed, Mier° should be some one about tire establishment with sense enough to restrain him. The neces- sity for Mr. Harcly'e resignation only exists in the disordered mind of the World writer. Mr. Hardy will, no doubt, a‘ppeal ' to the ceuntry when the proper titne comes. There is no occasion or necessity for an ap- peal before that time, and no preeent likeli- hood that there Will be, When that' time does eome, the appeal that will be made will be answered by the people in the same manner as it has been for the past quarter of a century. The people of Ontario know when they are being even and honestly served by their public men, and they are not SO simple as to discharge true end tried servants, such as their present Min:eters, for ambitious wind bags such as the World and its ilk would recommend to them. The World may rest sure on this point. . 1 The Growing Time. We hear a great deal just now about the Growing Time," and that it is a growing Mme in so far as prosperity is concerned, there is no doubt. In almost every depart- ment of commerce and industry the same pleasant story has to be told; Business is booming and prices are going up and up, while the demand exceeds the supply. There is work and to spare for all, and none need go idle who are able to work. What it is that has produced this pleasant and profitable :state of affairs it would be difficule to Bay definitely. If the growing time were enjoyed by Canada alone, we Might attribute it to the recent change in the nation's government ; to the vast min- eral discoveries and development of the past two yeara, and to the bountiful harvests of his year and hest. But Canada _has no pecial claim to the growing time. It is qually in evidence in the United States, bretvt Britain and many other countries. This being the case, the change is not due So political causes alone, nor yet to mineral discovery and development in this Country, although, no doubt, both of thcs3 have had twine share in bringing on the growlog time be lett: ed by the rulers of nations as well as by individuals. In a season of prosperity and sunshine so many people are apt to act al if the sunshine would continue forev-er, evidently forgetting that, after even the orighteet day, there must and wiil come the night. A former finance minister of Can- ada, during a period such as we are now en- tering upon, advised the people to clap on all Sail end take advantage of the breeze. A great many did this, and had a good time whilait lasted, but their fall was all the aarder when night came. Money is now 'plentiful, and those who spend it, as it comes will be very poorly prepared to meet the crisis when it overtakes them, but those who are now judicious and careful of the plenty'which they are now receiving, will the ones who ev41.1 be in the best shape to stand the storm of depression when it again shows up, as it most assuredly will in due course. And as it is with individuale, rid is it with natione. We in Canada now. have a a buoyant revenue. We should take advant- age of the situation to prepare for the rainy day. While we should not shrink from making necessary and profitable ex• penditures, we should not act as if we did. Lot have the experience of the past to guide us, apd launch out in schemes and speculations which, instead of being an aid to us when our hour of need arrives, will be an added burden and incumbrance. The _farmer or business man who, instead of spending his present surplua in fleeting pleasures and luxuries, uses it to pay off his mortgages or invests it to strengthen and improve his business and his farm, are the ones who will best weather the storm a hen it comes, and will then' epjoy peaze and comfort, instead of being harassed and perhape ruined. And the governneent that acts in a similar manner is the one that will do best for the country. This is the lesson which experience teaches, and those who learn from experience do not gen rally go far astray. Better Inspection Need d. It would seem from developmen s Which c me before the public frequently t at there s ould be IMMO more efficient syste for the in pection of lba,nks than at present ex - is s. The necessity,perhaps, is not so great' in connection with chartered banks as the la is very strict, in so far as they aro con- ce ned, and the losses to depositors s not so quent as in connection with w at are k own as private banks. And it is deposi: to s who specially need protection. There is no doubt that, in connection with charter- ed bank failures, many shareholde s, who c ill afford the loes, are subjected o much in.ouvemence, and frequently s ffering, th ough the dishonesty of officials, which ses failure and disaster. -This, perhaps, might be avoidel to a much greater extent than at preeene if there was a system of in. dependent government inspection. ue the need is moat crying in connection wi h priv- et banking concerns. Many fa.ilure of in - ea diens of this kind have occurred within th past few years, and, in every stance, th se foolish enough to deposit money in th m have lost heavily, in Some stances all they had 'deposited. Another c se co. cu red a few Clays ago in the town of ,Strat- for The failure of the private anking concern of William Mowat & Son is likely to iesult in loss to a great many peop e. We see it stated that, although at first it was tho ght this concern would show large our lus, it is now`founcl that the asse s were lar ly over...valued, and that when the busi. nes is finally wound up, the'deposito s will not receive more than fifty, or perhap3 forty cen s, on the dollar. Of course, people sho ld know better than to deposit their money in a private bank. They ehould knoi,v that in depoEiting their money' there they have only the security of the ieedviduai or company which owns the bank, what- ever that may be worth. Claartered banks ; . are required to make a substantial goy ern- ment deposit for the protection of their de- poei ors, and, in addition to that, every shareholder is responsible for dou le the amo nt of the stock be holds in the bank. er these eircumstancee deposito are usu Ily well secured, and cannot suffer much loss even in the event cf the bank fail- ing. But in the case of the so-calle priv- ate banks there is no such eeeurity re- quir d, and depositors have only the secur- ity f an individual or a company engaged in a ost hazerdous bueiness. . Fo the protection of the people, there- fore, something should be done. These priv te banks should either be prohibited by law f om taking money on deposit, or there shou d be a competent Government insPector ppo nted, whose duty it wou be to erio fealty inspect the boeks of the bank nd t e securities Ireld,aud hio report should be p Wished so that all interested could see it are , judge for themselves of the eafety of the i stitution to which they intrusted their mane . This is rendered all the more neces- sary ecause many of these owners of priv- , 0 ate b nks are reputable men, in whom the ubli ' have learned to place confidence, and thi way aro induced to trust thein when the I knew their 'actual financial standing, ey yould not do so. Mr. Mowat had coll- ude his bank in Stratford for over thirty ars, He was respected and trusted by all who knew him, and he was supposed to be wealt y. But the es hest and best intention- ed me will make mietakes. His deposits were laitge, and he had to invest them so an to ena le him to' pay the interest and make pro t on the transaction. He made in- stm nts which, no doubt, at the time they ro made, -looked promieing, but which Lima `,cly turned out to be next to valueless. At an rate, he cannot realize on them, and i as a natural consequence, he could not get the funds to pay his depositors when they called far their money, and, as a result, sus - e _ pennon and liquidation followed, and loss will bel the result all round. As it was with Mr, Allowat, so it is liable to be with all other persons in the same business, no matter hew honeit or careful they may be. Hence it is the height of unwiedom for any portions to deposit their money in a private bank un, less the , are prepared to take heavy risks, f and thi unwisdom is doubly displayed in these di ye when chartered banks and the Governinent savings banks are so numerous and conVenient. Of couree, these institu- a in this country, and they may a -id in proe p longing it. We fancy we are safe in saying a that the present very promising state of arfraire is due largely to natural events. A period of depression flee alweye been fallowe'l by a period of prosperity or flation. This hae been the rule in this a d other countries. For flee or Fix years anada, in sympathy with neighboring p C untries, ouffered under a period of the in oat extreme depression. During Ole per- is i d the people were forced to study and eh p actiee economy ; many manufacturing in- d d 'griefs. were cloised down, and stocks of all ye k nds were ran low. All thie had its infla• e oe The people were, it may be said, forced t make a •halt in the mad race for wealth. Now these blanks, which were created by the enforced economy of the people, hove to be filled up, thus making employment a plentiful, putting money in circulation, and ve in other ways making the wheels vie round we with increased velocity. Good crop, min- ul eral diecoveriee and develojament et ill all hap to enrich the country and make it larger, wealthier and greater, and may also help to prolong the boom time, but Sve may rest asaured that hard times will come again. Prosperity and adversity, in the affairs of individuals, as midi as of nations, run in cycles, alternating accordivg to circumstances. We should all endeavor to learn arid pr fit by pate experience. By so doing we may eta.ve off the season of adversity and peolong the growing time, and also be in a better poisition to meet and overcome the evil hour when it arrives, as arrive ft ce will. This a lesson which ishoul tions do not pay as high a rate of ieterest as private banks will, but they are absolutely safe, or verY nearly so, and the additional security is worth more than the increased interest. But, as many will not ollow this course, but will continue to de °sit their money where it is not safe, and as some may be induced to incur this ri k simply through the designation of " ba k," which is used, it -seems to us that some system of increarred proteotion is necessary. 101111101=11111INNINIIINIIIIM Editorial Notes and Co ments.

The ay The French Government have decided to pardon Captain Dreyfus, who was laet week declared guilty of treason by a Court Mar- tial, and sentenced to ten years' imprison- ment. It is probable that this is in keeping with the programme maped out at first. It is said, however, that he is to be eent •out of France to some comfortable place of residence, before the pardon is finally pro- claimed. -Lord Minto, Governor General af Canada, and Sir Wilfrid Leerier have accepted in- vitations to be present at a demonstration in counection wieh the laying of the corner stone of a Government building at Chicago. Many of the leading public men of Canada. and the United States are expected to take part, in this demonstration. It is this sort of thing that tends to cement inter- national amity and good feeling, and it would be well if an interchange of such cour!esies occurred more frequently. . Minister of Finance Cotton says there will be no dissolution of the Britiah Colum- bia Ligislature this fall, aod that the Government will have a clear majority of two. The only defectione the Government had were Hon. Joseph Martin and D. W, Higgins, and in travelling through the coun- try. he had found that the leaving of the former out of the Government had been one of the most popular moves ever made by a Government. How far this etateinent is correct, of course, time alone ean tell. Mr. Martin's enthusiastic reception at Nanaimo a few weeks ago looks as if gr. Cotton's calculations are not. very accurate. Governor Pingree, of Michigan, speaking at the trusts conference at Chicago the other day, says there should be no division into social classes in a republic -but there is. It is not the business of a Republicaia Government, nor of any other Gavernment, to encourage or discourage social distinc- tions. Let people divide socially to suit themselves, and do it exolueively at their own expense. But, unfortunately, the de - visions made as the result of the trusts, are at the expense of the people. - The Pioton Times says : What the coun- try is thinking about just now is " the unparalleled. The overwhelming i crease in growing time." And no wonde , for the growth in every direction is. im ense and the volume of trade ; the decrease taxation and enormously enhanced revenue the vast enterprises that are being under taken ; the demand and high price paid for labour ; the abundant harvest ; the mining deVelopment with its millions being invested and millione in return ; all these and many either con- ditions make the people too cognizant of " the growing time" to care much for or to hope for much from the restoration of a de-preciated party.- Tho Liberals may not take credit for this prosperity on every hand ; but what the Tories said was that prosperity as they had it would be itt once ehanged to adversity if the people let the Grite in. The people let them in inotwith- standing and behold what has followed. __ ---- The Farmers' Sun, however peculiar and erratic its ideas may bo on some subjects, it is sound and sensible in its references to the Agritultural College and Experimental Farm. It says : It would not, be easy to , estimate the splendid returini the people of Ontario have received. from the experi- me tal work performed, and the praetical tur 1 College. The college is the centre of ins ruction given at the Oetario Agrioul. progressive agriculture in Ontario, and troM it has gone forth an inspiration that has1 done much to place the farmers of Ontario in the front rauk. No one can study the crop reports issued by the Bur- eateof Industries without noting the up - wand trerd of recent years in the returns from the soil. Men who thought that land was, in its highest condition when it was virgin soil, find that its productiveness can be made greater than when nature gave it hetet eir hands. Anything that will help to pro uce practical results such as theEe, should be encouraged. Mos people will agree with Professor Goldw n Smith when he says : Among the enter inMents at our highly popular and encces ful Toronto exhibition were a woman descen ing in a parachute and another 1 woman entering a den of tigers.
