MaxwelIs Ingenious Conspiracy Story.
New YORK, August l4th.-The World
says, ~ relation 20 Maxwell's statement
that PrelleT entered into conspiracy 10 de-
fraud the life insurance companies .
Frank Schlesinger, Preller's cousin, at
No. 47S BCoome street, says 1t is pre-
posterous lie. Preiler was insured for only
II 900 in the London Life Insurance Com
pany. That money has been paid to his
relatives. II IS hardly likely that the sum
would have been paid had not the insur-
ance company received proofs that the dead
man was Prclier The body was seen by
intimate friends, and fully identified The
family mourn him as dead, and everyone
who knew Preller in life is firmly con
WINGED that he is now dead
The san says At the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company's office an officer of the
company said that PIeller was insured
only in London life or acci lent insurance
companies. The amount for which Prel-
ler's life was insured is not known here. It
seemed improbable to the insurance man
that Maxwell and Preller should have de-
yised SO complicated q plan to cheat the
companies when Preller could have been
reported dead in IN easier manner and one
which would not have put Maxwell in
peril.
One OF Ireliers : relatives was Richard II.
Owen, of 81 Clinton Place. With him lived
James Taylor. Taylor went to ST. Louis in
April last, and saw the body found il the
trunk. he reported that it was certainly
Preiler's. II hat convinced Taylor, he
said, was peculiar scar on the forefugcr
Of Prellcr's hight hand Taylor had been
intimately acquainted with Pre,ler for
years, and knew the history of the scar.

NO EXTRA SESSION

Gov. HUBBARD has at last set the public
mind at rest so far as uncertainty .ex-
listed as to whether or not he would call an
extra session of the legislature. For reasons
which are doubtless satisfactory to himself,
the governor declines to exercise the power
with which the constitution invests him,
and there will be no extra session. Having
heretofore taken the position that in a
young and growing state like Minnesota,
whose interests and resources are rapidly
developing, and new subjects demanding
legislation are continually presenting them
selves for public consideration, an an
,nual session of the legislature is a
public necessity, it cannot be eX-
pected that the GLOBE will agree with
the governor in his conclusions. Nor
have we any desire to be harsh or unjust in
our criticism of the reasons which he pub
fishes as the basis of his refusal. So far as
the warehouse and railway laws are con-
cerned we are disposed to agree with him
that sufficient time has not elapsed to test
their merits or defects. Nor did we know
that a change in these laws was being seri-
ously urged as reason for an extra ses-
sion. AS to the other matter discussed by
him relative to the inequality in representa-
ton as developed by the last state census,
the people who reside in sections of the
state which will be benefited by
the present unequal apportionment will
be disposed to commend the gov
enor for his action in this mat
ter, while those who live in the counties
and districts which are denied the repre-
sentation they are entitled to under the
constitution will be disposed to think that
they are receiving harsh treatment at the
hands of the state executive. We confess
to surprise that the governor has taken
such light view of such an important mat
ter. We can conceive of no right pertain
ing to an American of graver or higher
consequence than that of fair representa-
ton. The right of fair and equal repre-
sentation in the government under which
he Lives is the bisthnght Of the American

citizen. No interest that appertains merely
to earth is of such sublime consequence
to the American as the maintenance
and enjoyment of that birthright.
1t is therefore matter of surprise to us
that while he admits there is gross in
equality in this respect, one who occupies
the high and honorable position of gov
ernor OF a great commonwealth should have
so little appreciation of the value of that
inestimable privilege as to speak OF it in the
flippant manner with which it is discussed
Duluth. But what surprises us most of all
is that the governor makes no reference
whatever to the most urgent reason of all
why an extra session should have been
called at this time. We refer to the condi
ton of our tax laws. However much some
persons may pooh-pOoh this ques-
ton, or others who have an inter-
est in preserving the present status
of the tax laws may attempt to ridicule any
agitation of this subject, the fact remains
that nothing has ever occurred within the
history of the state so calculated to retard
progress in its material development or to
roll back the tide of population now seeking
homes in Minnesota as the recent interpre-
tation given by the supreme court in rela-
ton to tax titles and the consequent public
ity which has been given to horrid de-
formity on our system Of land titles. We
do not remove the danger or lull others into
false sense of security by shutting our
eyes to it. The method of practical states
manshlp is at once to repeal what is HARM
full in legislation, and to correct public
wrongs. The expense of getting rid of the
evil is not so much a consideration as the
celebrity with which it can be done. In the
speedy readjustment of our tax laws there
is principle involved of so much value to
the state that it is beyond computation by
mere dollars and cents. When honest citi-
zens of the state are robbed of their homes
by the force of laws which disgrace the
statute books it is time that the peoples
representatives were called together to
adopt some measures by which the stain of
dishonor could be removed.

with this infamous law standing as damn

governor does not feel that he is justified in
subjecting the state to the expense OF an

that will be done to the state by knowl-

THE MoCKERY OF JUSTICE.

Mr.. MIRIAM DAVENPORT is an honest, in
dustrious young man who came from Her.
kimer county, New York, six or seven
years ago to settle in Minnesota, After
looking around for suitable location he
finally purchased tract of land from the
Northern Pacific Railroad company in the
vicinity of Aitkin. He went to work to
clear out his land and provide comfortable
little home for his little family. He erected a
two-story frame dwelling house, and by his
own labor has put his farm in good cOndi-
ton. A few days ago the last
payment on his land fell due,
and with his characteristic promptness Mr..
DAVENPORT notified the railway land
agency that the money was ready to be
paid over upon receipt of the deed for the
land. Then it was for the first time that
he learned that there was some arrearage of
taxes charged against him in Cass county
which would have to be settled before the
company would execute the deed. He i'm
mediately hurried to Brainerd, and as he
entered the auditors Office he met neigh
Dor coming out with tax-title deed in his
hand for DAvENPoRT's own land. which
had cost the tax-title purchaser the inn
mense sum of sEvENTY-NINE CENTS.
The result is that this industrious young
farmer, who from the hard earnings of
his own labor had purchased his farm and
had improved it, and had paid up
everything except S24, the small balance
now due and ready to be paid, now, to-
gether with his wife and four little children,
is turned out of his home robbed of his
earnings, and his farm turned over to a
shark who pays to the state in consideration
thereof the sum of 70 cents. What else
can this be denominated if it is not legalized
robbery? Under the abominable provision
of the tax law which requires publication
instead of personal notice to be given to the
holder of land which has been returned de-
Iinouent. this young man was ignorant of
the proceedings which had been taken
against his property, and while he remained
at home industrlouslY engaged in his work,
adding by his labor to the material
prosperity of the state, and in all
respects making most exemplary
citizen, paying his taxes whenever called
upon by the tax-gatherers, all the time re-
living upon the state and the laws of the
state to protect him and his property. and
vet, at the same time, the very power he re-
lies upon for protection, is in effect collud-
ing with some scoundrel to rob him. And
it is all done under the forms of law. This
is no suggestions case. 1t is one OF actual
occurrence right in our own midst and un-
der the laws which the courts construe with
a harshness bordering on cruelty. Nor
is this an isolated case. Heaven only
knows how many others are just in the
condition of Door DAVENPORT. There
may be others who are to-day resting in
fancied security in possession of their
houses and their lands, who tomorrow will
be driven forth with their families. despoiled
of all the hard earnings of a lifetime. robbed

THE EASTERN FIAsCO.

An Eastern war is matter of small con-
sequence these days. 1t doesn't last long
enough to excite public interest. Just as
King MILAN was expected to rise to the
proportions of NAPOLEON in the dash of
his military operations he is driven back
into his own borders, and is interceding for
peace. And now the warlike THEEBAw,
who assured his troops few days ago that
he intended to die at the head of his army,
surrenders before the first gun is fired. The
only one who has come out with flying col
ors is Prince ALEXANDER. And his fame
is darkened by the fact that he has brother
HENRY, who is tied to the apron strings of
his English mother-in-law. Royalty doesn't
count for much after all.
