FINANCIAL KELIEE.

The suggestions made in the excel
lent letter from our correspondent. t,
printed in another column are worthy
of study. 1t is we'll known that the
New York banks, by their associated ac-
ton through the clearing house. relieved
the financial situation at that import
ant point by issuing clearing housc Ger
tificates.
But that was n central point at which
action was prompt, instantaneous, even,
and might not work so we'll over wide
fold. AS applied to the Virginia situa-
ton different phase presents itself.
The Virginia National banks are
strong, but are restricted in the field of
operations by the national bank act,
which forbids tho loaning of money on
real estate security.
In Virginia the enormous bulk of roal
estate transactions is done without tho
direct and open aid of National banks.
State banks, private banks, loan and
trust companies and private individuals
havo been the agencies. The vast bust
ness,interests of Norfolk have but ono
National bank, while State banks sup
ply the principal facilities Yet it is
transactions of Norfolk are performed
with an ease and celebrity uneQualled in
any other city in Virginia.
There is also tho danger of attempt
ing clearing house operations extending
over a whole State, that the great inan-
cial centers might view such action
with suspicion, and withdraw their sup
port.
The plan for relief which seems mos t
feasible and which attracts the favora-
Bile attention of capitalists is as follows:
Organize loan and trust company with
n capital of 100000. Then take up
real estate paper on which the second
and third payments arc still due. Have
the titles guaranteed and the property
approved. Place this paper in tho
hands of some responsible and we'll
known institution in New York or Bos-
ton, and issue 5 per cent. dcbcnture
bonds against the deposit at the ratio
of 500 for every $40 deposited. These
bonds would prove popular form of in
vestment and would bring hundreds of
thousands of dollars into the State,
which would at once find its way into
the channels of trade and permanent
improvement
BY this plan over 100000 900 wore
carried into Iowa alone from New En-
gland. Roanoke is the proper place to
organize such loan and trust company
ana its operations would be as certain
as clockwork. Tho profits would be
considerably larger than the usual re.
turns of banking operations, and the
benefits to this section would BIO beyond
calculation.

What the next five years will bring
forth can only be conjectured, but there

CALLING OUT The MILITIA,


In connection with the report that great
crowds were assembling in Las Vegas to
be present at the examination of the
Herreras on Monday, the governor was
called upon to-day to ascertain if he had
any fresh information on the subject.
"No," said he, "there has been moth
ing official since the sheriff telegraphed
on Wednesday to ask that the militia
arms in Las Vegas be turned over to him.
OF course that could not be done, but we
sent him some ammunition, to be ready
in case of emergency. By the way l
notice that already some papers are
talking about calling out the militia,
Whenever there is any trouble there is a
great deal of hippant talk about calling
out the militia. wish you would state
ia the New MEXICAN exactly the situation
as to that. To begin with, of course,
everywhere in the United States the
sheriff is the peace officer of his county,
| charged with preserving order. No other
official, not even the president, can in
tervene in any way, except on the call
of the sheriff and to assist him. This is
fundamental principle in our system
of government, and is the same in New
Mexico as in states like New York or
to call on every able bodied man in his
county to aid him in enforcing the law,
and it is only when he has exhausted all
his own power that he can call on the
governor. When such call is made, the
governor has to send such assistance as
he can, and then can really call out the
militia
Unfortunately in our case such calling
would probably do little good. This is a
calamity, but it is true, and may as well
be understood. The course of the late
Legislature has practically deprived us of
such necessary protection. AT the last
session, the little sum heretofore allowed
for militia expenses was so cut down, that
even in the gravest emergency, there is
not dollar with which to act. TO call
out the militia requires money for trans
portation, for provisions, for all the va
rious expenses that can not be avoided.
Heretofore it has been possible to act be-
cause the credit of the territory could be
used. Thus in the last important Indian
outbreak, Governor Sheldon called on the
militia to protect the threatened sections,
and Governor Ross continued the
same, and parties trusted the territory
and so the work was carried on. But
though the governors certified the
accounts and successive legislatures has
been urged to pay them, they have been
completely ignored, and not cent has
been paid. This of course has destroyed
our credit so far as militia expenses are
concerned. 1t is difficult to see what
could be done, even in the most critical
case, with the militia, which certainly
could not move without some provision
for transportation and sustenance. 1t
might be easy to CALL but the response
would be different thing. 1t is just as
we'll that these facts should be known, in
order that every one may be ready to do
his duty as a citizen, and not rely too
much on the militia"

Mrs. VIM. H. Soehnchen, wife of the
well known contractor, died suddenly last
night. She had been in her usual good
health all day and during the early part
of the evening and was busy with her
household duties about O'Clock when
her husband left home to attend the
meeting of the Aztlan lodge OF Odd Eel
lows. An hour later he returned home
and upon entering his wife's bed room at
8 20 he found her cold in death. She
had evidently become faint and in
attempting to lie down had fallen
dead across the bed her face
buried in the bed clothing.
The horrifed husband aroused tie house
hold and summoned medical attendance
forthwith, but death had done It's worst.
The physicians say that death was caused
by ali affection of the heart which caused
it to suddenly cease the performance Of
its function. Great sympathy is eX-
pressed for the grief stricken family.
Mrs. Soehnchen was lady Of many fine
traits OF character, faithful to her trust IN
all the walks of life, an earnest Christian
woman. She leaves large circle OF
friends to mourn her loss aside from the
immediate family. The funeral will take
place at 2 80 tomorrow afternoon from
the M. f. church.
