WHICH IS WORSE!

According to an exchange, an inter esting incident occurred in a New York court the other day, when the presiding justice not only severely lectured a jury for deciding a case on the flip of a coin but fined each juror $50 besides. It was all done solemn ly, as befitted the importance of an occasion designed to emphasize the majesty of the law, which had been manifestly outraged, or at least brought into disrepute, through this f1ippancy, so to speak, of the twelve good men and true.
 But not very long ago two grave and reverend senators of the United States stood in the office of the presi- dent of the United States, and by the toss of q coin decided number of ap- pointments to high official position in one of the Western States \ few weeks later the length of the terms of the two United States senators from the new State of Oklahoma was set tied by the same kind of appeal to chance. But nobody got fined for these practices, which have been made respectable through long GUS tom, but through a custom which thoughtful people must always regard as more honored in the breach than in the observance.
 It will puzzle these same thought full people to say which is more rep rehensible, the tossing of coin to de- eide grave questions of public service or the tossing of a coin to decide q jury's verdict. There can be no sound argument in support of reaching ver- diets in this way, but in the presence of such illustrious precedent some jurors may be expected to feel de- gree of Ioosening of the bonds of ob- ligation and degree of lessening of their sense of solemnly in perform ing the sacred duty imposed on them The principle is the same in all such cases, and the principle is wrong in all of them.

HINEMON GAINING GROUND EVERYWHERE
Telegram From Authentic Source From Little l4'ck Says Cover nor's Race Is Between Hinemon and DOnaghcy. With the Latter Losing Strength.

Special to the Graphic.
 Little Rock, Ark, March 6.-La5t October the Democrat stated editor ially that the campaign for Govcr- nor would be the hottest Dat+.'e waged in recent years. IL seems that the Democrats prediction a1~ been verified. The race waXes hot- ter and hotter, and with tha in- crease in interest comes the most startling developments.
 Perhaps there has never Delor. been such a change in a politicai situation as in Arkansas during the past two or three weeks. LeaiinS politicians and newspaper men 1cre say that it is generally concP,i"d over the State that the race i5 be- tween Hinemon and Donaghey, with Donaghey losing votes and H:no- mon gaining. Kirby is far in the background at present. with no prospects for gain: Donaghey's wave has reached it's crest and IS going backward. while Hinemon IS fast forging ahead He is speaking daily over the State, to immense audiences, and always leaves with the crowd for him.

SPOTS STRONG
 OPTIONS WEAK
Both American and English Nar- kctS Dull and Weak, But Sp" Sales Abroad Are Heavy on Small Decline in the Price.

New Orleans. March q. The fea- ture in Liverpool + the weakness in near options which declined about three points more than called for by our markets.
 Spot sales are large. totalIing 1000. but at si Xpointa lower prices According tO reliable infof- nation there is very little new bus mess in these daily sales; they merely show the amount of cotton going against old call engagements and as such cotton is being held Ill readiness for thc emergency th"rf- is no fresh beneficial effects by these transactions on prices.
 Our market this morning Wal weak around the opening with tirS' trades at decline of about points. but il steadicd subsequently on some buying of July at disconn under May which buying appeare1 to be for New York account. Ina market rallied also which gave rise to the idea that another profession al reaction might be contemplated and brought some covering by scalp CTS. Furthermore this is the first Friday of the month and reyis- ion in grade differences is spoken Of. This disount on lower grades is likely to be increased as this kind of cotton has been accumulat- ing and is being pressed for sale at concessions. This revision would improve the future contract and might attract some protective buy ing. However, this is merely lit tie side question-in the May the fate of the market depends on whether new demand, new business for spot cotton will come soon or not This dullness in the actual stuff has now been lasting long time and is beginning to tell.
 The spot market is quiet. There
 is the usual looking round for good cotton, other grades neglected and offered at concessions. leXas buyers report more offering here and there on a lower basis.
 Futures at the moment rule steady on a wire from New York saving May operators are asalh busy. It seems that scalplng opera tjons on d large scale in May in New York are the fad during this walt ing period.
