A NEW CITY CHARTER.
To the e
the Democrat:

IL tuo = luo OeuOcIaLs
Upon no subject relating to our city Is there
greater unanimity among the taxpayers and
thoughtful citizens than on the great need OF
reorganization of the city government on the
basis OF aldermanic representation and the
separation OF the executive and Legislative
functions.
The present system was at the beginning de-
monstrated to be anomalous and impracticab,e
far more expensive than the old one. Time
has illustrated and strengthened these objec-
tions. Not single one of the benefits held out
by the champions Of this system have been re-
allied. Indeed. additional evils to those appre-
hended at the beginning have resulted from 1t,
until now 1t Is shown to be mere mode of ring
organization. under which the people have no
real representation In the legislation Of the
city. and pay enormous salaries $4,000 each
for nominal representative who are In fact
mere head-pieces Of the executive departments
with high salaried deputies who perform ali
their executive duties.
The system In theory and practice has been
demonstrated most absurd. Improbable and
expensive one. Why, then. should 1t be con.
tinued Gay or month longer than, can be

A HANDSOME TsInUrE.

Yesterday the trustees Of the Teutonia In
surance Company met at their office. on Camp
street. and surprised their popular and effcie mt
president. w. B. Schmidt. ESQ. who least ex-
peeted them at that hour. o'clock In the after
noon. The object Of the meeting was soon
made plain. when Mr.. Chas. Potthoff. In the
name Of the trustees, addressed Mr.. Schmidt to
tell him. in warm and eloquent words. the es-
TEEN In which he was held by them. and their
appreciation of his valuable services since he
became the president of the instituffon--at the
same time presenting him. as q token Of their
regard, with magnificent set OF mantel orna-
ments In real bronze. the central piece repre-
senting the Goddess OF Wisdom. and the two
others alleRorical figures Of science and art,
each bearing flaming torch. The recipient
replied a. best he could under the circum-
stances, and the pleasant occurrence was en-
ltvened BY sparkling wine.
The tribute to Mr.. Schmidt is deserved one,
for since his accession to the pres
idency Of the board. the Teutonia
has risen to prominence and is one OF our most
hourishing Insurance companies. where the
cash basis OF business Is q feature. and has
