State Sentinel Free.

We have just perfected arrangements with- the publishers of that excellent state paper, the Indiana State Sentinel, whereby we can once more offer it ONE YEAR FREE to all new subscribers to The Democrat and to all old subscribers paying one year in advance. This- offer will probably hold good but a short time, therefore you should not delay taking advantage of this chance to secure the only democratic paper published in Jasper county and the only democratic state paper for the small sum of sl. These two excellent papers for less than 2 cents per week. The rubber trusts certainly ought to have a great pull.

Wonder who they can be? Venezuela ought to have found out which American Company bad the ear of the Administration before she allowed her courts to decide a question affecting them She made the mistake and the Asphalt Trusts will now see that ■he realizes it. There is no doubt that the country is a good deal wrought up over the West Point hazings. It is difficult, however, to see what can be done. The guilty can be punished of course, but there is little doubt that in a year or two, others will revive the practice. Anyway Senator Chandler can congratulate himself that he has kept his word.
