The Enrolment.

Eample. the enrolment Of The fret class only III

the FIRST class 10 Of course but part of the full
number Of men liable to duty. Yet here We
have an astounding number % The entire vote
Of the city last fall was only about 75,000.3 II
aeems the whole enrolImens Of all classes must
include not less than three or four times ae
many names as there ARE voters! This error
can only proceed from double enrollment, at the
residence and at the place Of business. The
number to be drawn In New York Ia 37,0l1,
namely, "a .674 as the quota, and SO per cent.
more, IL, ,337 to supply deficiencies. If the en-.
rollmen is too large, OF course this draft is too
large. Itois also q remarkable fact, that the
numbers to be drawn from the FIRST ten districts
OF the State equal the numbers from all the
other twenty-one districts! One hsH the quota

We beg leave to suggest also that the draft
should be made with two wheels instead of one,
and eusry name should be drawn from one wheel,
while blanks and prizes are drawn from The
other. This Ia the only fair method. To draw
the number required ont Of q wheel, and leave
the Remaining names lying untonched, affords
no evidence to the public that names are not
repeated 10 The rolls or that the rolls themselves
are fairly made up, It Is much more satisfac-
tory to draw every name and against each name

The Monroe Doctrine. .

The ffst explicit declaration Of what Ii
termed the "Mcnroe doctrine" was made BY
President Monroe In his annual message Of
1923. At that time the allied powers Of Eu
rope were proposing to aid Spain In re-conquer
ing her South American colonies, and Mr.. Can
ming, as he himself said In one of his letters
"sounded Mr.. Rush, (then American MlniateI
In LondoD) "as to his powers aud disposition
to join in any step which we England might
take TO prevent hostile enterprise on the part
of European powers sgainstl Spanish Americs. d
Taking advantage Of this Communication, and
Of the amicRble arrangement Of the respective
rights and dainterests of Russia and the United
States on the northwest aoa6t of the continent,
President M,nroe, In his annual message, as
serted "as principle In which the rights and
interests Of the United States are involved, that
the American continents, by the free shd inde-
pendent condition which they have assumed
and maintained, are Ihenceforth not TO be
considered as subjects for future colonization

that the United States would'never take part in

"This difference proceeds from that which ex-
