With this issued of THE SENTINEL we present to our readers an enlarged paper, containing over ten columns of reading matter more than formerly. To make this change it requires a large amount of extra work, as well as aa increased expenditure, but we feel &sauced our efforts will be appreciated by our many readers. It is a long telue,—longer than the great majority • of our readers are aware—since we had the honor of assuming control of THE SENTINEL, and in now looking back over our twenty-one years of editorial life, and as a citizen of Lucknow, we can express but one feeling of thank- fulness and pleasure. That we have not succeeded in accomplishing as much as we would desire, and that we have come far short of making that success in newspaper life that we would like to have done, yet under all the cicum- stances we have done the best we could, and no one has seen or felt more keenly our many shortcomings than the Editor of THE SENTINEL himself. It has ever been our desire to publish a clean, readable paper, devoted almost exclusively to the local interests of the village and surrounding country, and the best passible proof that our efforts have been successful, is the fact that the circulation of THE SENTINEL has been constantly on the inzrease, and to -day our cir3ulation is second to no other paper published in a village in the Province of Ontario. But we want more readers, and with our enlarged paper and the continued be_ip of our many friends who have done so well for us in the past, our list of subscribers should reach the 2,000 maik before the new year. We also take this opportunity of bxpressing our most sincere thanks to our uaerchants and other business men for their liberal patronage in our advertising columns, and expreas the hope that our readers will not overlook their announcements each week. We are greatful to our correspondents for their valuable contributions each week, and to our many subscribers and friends, we return our sincere and heartfelt thanks for their 'confidence and support.

A GREAT MILITARY TASK Few people have any reasonable idea of the task involved in mobilizing and transporting 50,000 men from Great Britain to the scene of war in Soutla Africa. The assembling and accoutring of the force is not trying work, British officials being frequently call on to deal with such. But placing them in the field many thousands of miles distant, provisioning them, and keeping up communication with them is another matter. The Naval Trans- port Department of the Admiralty has the business in charge. It is respcnsible for the men from the time they embark till they land at their destination. It is said that 100 steamers will be required for this ser- vice, and that many steamers will be needed to carry supplies to them after they are landed. When 20,000 men were concentrated at Kassassin for the attack Tel-el-Kebir in 1882, al. though the distanee.from the bus at Ismailia was only 22 mi:es, three weeks elapsed between the landing of the first troopship and the arrival of the whole force at the scene of op- erations. In this case there will be twice,cas many men to be transported to a much greater distance. The rail- way lines will be under military con- trol, and much will depend on keeping unbroken the line of communication between the British ports and the scene of the fighting. For this pur- pose the British fleet will be available at sea, and no doubt ample provision will be made to guard the railways and routes by which Tommy Atkime supplies will reach him at the front. Britain is in the eye of the world just now, and she will give it an object lesson in military celerity. THE INDEPENDENTS Call Their Representative to Task. (From the Tiverton Watchman) The meeting of the Patrons of In- dustry in the Tiverton town hall on Tuesday afternoon last was not as well attended as was expected. This was due probably to the imperfect an- nouncement made, also to the fact of the day lost in attending the Laurier demonstration at Kincardine the prev- ious Saturday. However a represent- ative, though somewhat small audience was present for the occasion. The purpose of the meeting was of course to hear from the Patron representative, Mr John Tolmie, an account of him- self during his three years at Ottawa. At about two o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Wm, Vallens, of Kinlnss organizer of the Patron forces, who explained in a few pithy wards the ob- ject of the meeting, and ca!led on Mr. Tolmie to address the assembly. The black population of South Af- rica is the cause of' considerable so- licitude just now. The terrible wrongs it has sufferel at the hands of the cruel and predatory Boers of the Orange Free State, and of the Transvaal are not forgotton, and it need not be wondered thas some of the tribes wish to take up arms against them, There is an enormous black population in Natal, Cape 0Jlony, Zululand, Swaziland, Basutoland, and 'Rhodesia, and it has not always been easy to prevent tribes making war on one another. Now the efforts of the British residents ure be- ing put forth to prevent the tribesmen from arming and decending upon the Boers! Doubtless by encouraging or permitting the Basutos and their fel lows to war on the Boers Britain might make it very interesting for her enemies, but the ,result might not in the end prove advantageous.' Evident ly her policy is to keep the blacks quiet, to protect them, and to teach them an object lesson through the conquest of their oppresson. This is at least in the interest of civilization. Says, " The merciful man is merciful unto his beast. Now it is not very merciful to work a horse when it is not in a fit condition to do what is required of it. Still we see it done ; a horse with a rough course coat, poor and thin, with perhaps a slight cough, doing the work which only a perfectly healthy horse should be made to do. To he ve your horses perfectly healthy I would recommend you to use Blue Grass Condition Powders. These are made up from a receipt of an old Kentucky horse breeder who used it for years on his stock. There is nothing better as an appetizer and for Coughs, Distempers, and to bring a horse into good general condition. You will do well to try a package; 25c. or five for one dollar. Foa SALE BY ALEX. C. LOCHEAD, LUCKNOW upon these lature. The long suffering of the member was then called to bat for the second innings. He placed himself on record as a thorough patron, more Liberal than the Liberals, and pointed ont wherein the Government had carried out in several iristances the exact plat- form as tbe Patrons, in which, natur- ally, they had his entire support, On the other haud,she had voted 11 times in opposition. What chance had 3 members am:Mg 213, except by per- sonal work among the members? This course he had faithfully followed but as for long winded orations upon the floor, he knew by experience that they were far worse than useless. They might resolute till the cows come home, and the only effect would be to clean the house, or make themselves a nuisance and a laughing stock. He was in favor of bonusing railways but strongly condemns the immense amount of some of the bonuses. He emphasized the reduction saved by the reduction ofithe tariff which amounted to over $3;1000,000, and showed what had been accomplished since the government came into power, H(3 claimed that in his course, he had con- sciously endeavored to further the cause of Patronism by the best means at his disposal. Mr. Marshall then continued his former line of argument, He pointed out several instances of extravagarlco on the part of the government, saying he had hoped better things at their hands. Mr. Tolmie had done right as far as he nad gone, but hardly gone far enough to suit hith. However with the support of a few more Independ- ents in the next parliament he expect- ed t114t he would accomplish more. After a motion was made and car- ried that a series of meetings be arranged for in the near future to be held among the townships, at which the questions could be more thorough- ly thrhshed out, and the decision made as to whether a canditate should be put in the field, the conference was called io a close. questions before the Legis- • 3ANK OF HAMILTON LUOKNOW.

He wasted no time in preliminaries but knowing that his conduct was under challange, plunged at once into a vindication thereof. His speech WU short, but much to the point, knowing that his turn would come again lauir on in the meeting. Mr. Marshall, a patron repretent- ative of the Toronto Sun then took up the strain. He certainly made no bones in differing with Mr. Tolmie's policy since his return to Parliament. He critized the latters statement that the platforms of the two parties were identical. The platform of the old liberals was similar to that of the patrons. but the party had drifted far from the lines laid down ac the con- vention of 1892. The old government had been terribly extravigant, but since attaining power and administra- tion had run them very, very close for second place. The Patrons had al- ways opposed the railway bonnsing of the late government, the Libvals had not only continued the policy, but had carried it to lengths undream- ed of by their predecessors. Mr. Tol- mie's couree of supporting such measures was not in accord with the principals of patronism, Ontario's new Premier, G. W. Ross, has not lost any time in getting down to business. The writs for the bye - elections, made necessary by the ad- mission of Hon. F. R. Latchford to the Cabinet are already issued, the polling to take place on Nov. 14th.

He also took issue with the Government and the representative, He denied the charge made by the Reporter that he had worked for the disadvantage of the patrons. John McEwing here rose to remark that were he to credit the stories cur- rent on both sides then the country was corrupt to the last degree, which he was not prepared to believe. Wm.
