In yearn to come, when political writ era shall compile tbe history of Asheville, it is quite certain that no municipal ad ministration will be given so much space as the one which began in May, 1891, and which will close its existence in May, 1893. No more, cvenftul administration has ever been the lot of the city. Never have the people given to the work of the city officials so much attention as they have dnrinx the past year and lO months. And, knowing these facts, and realizioK that the time for the watH conventions is now not far off. The Citizkn proposes to print, from day to day until it is con cluded, a faithful, concise review of the work of the administration that ia soon. in part, at least, to become a tbinir of the past. .The members of the Board of AIderncn (with the exception of Mr. Gudger, who was sick) took the oath of office in Mayor Blanton's room at tbe Battery Park hotel on Monday, May 18, 1891, the mayor beins too ill to come down town. The Board then was composed of J. M. Gudger. T. C. Starnes. J. I. Bre vard. C. B. Leonard. J. Hamp. McDow ell and W. T. Reynolds, the latter of whom died in office. . At tbe first meetine of the Joint Board on tbe 22d of May, tbe members began talking about the expenditures of the improvement fund in street work. Com mittees were appointed oa paving, and instructed to report as early as possible. The time of the meeting on May 28 was principally occupied by a discussion of the question of removing the fire de partment from tbe new city hall as orlgi nally planned, and tbe making ot alley between the hall and the Ra wis property from court place to Spruce street. - On the 2d of June the paving commit tee had no report to make, and there was a further discussion of the city ball matter. . Tne Brother Act The meeting which gave the Aldermen the greatest notoriety was held on the night of June 5. for the election of city officers. The hall then nsed hv the Board (over Wolfe's marble store) was too small to accommodate the crowd gathered to witness the proceedings, and tbe meeting was held in tbe court house. The following officers were elected, am result ot a combine tbat bad become ap parent a short while before tbe meeting. Nothing like that night's work had ever before, or since, been known. The officers elected were: Recorder, P. M, Miller; clerk, W. R. Young; chief of police. W. G. McDowell; superintendent of street. W B. Clayton; attorney, T. H. Cobb; tax collector, N. A. Reynolds; treasurer. J. E. Rankin; building inspector. E. W. Bark holder; sanitary inspector, Z. V. Brevard; superintendent of water works, J. M. Ingle; physician, E. C. Starnes. There were five tie votes in the election the ties being J. M. Green and P. M. Miller for recorder; J. L. Murray and W. B. Clayton for street superintendent; Reuben McBrayer and T. H. Cobb for attorney; J. V. Jordanand N. A. Reynolds for collector; J. A. Burroughs and E. C. Starnes for physician. In these cases the vote was untied by Mayor Blanton. A force of policemen was also elected, with three of whom this account will have to do particularly. The three were C. W. Goodlake, W. R. Gudger and C. Leon ard. The KCxVtesst on tne people. When the result of the meeting became known the people of tbe town were par alyzed. Indignant comment was made on every hand, and it is doubtful whether there was a man in Asheville. outside of those directly interested, who did not. condemn the action of the Aldermen. The reason for this will be seen when it is stated that every member of the Board bad a brother, a son. or a broth er-in-law in office. Indeed, some of them did not stop at one relative, Mr. Gudger having a son and a brotber-in lw, and Mr. Leonard having a brother and a brother-in-law. This parceling out of the othces caused an outburst on the part of a poet, whose song was printed in The Citizen, the following being taken therefrom : A look went "round the council hall: A hnh fell on than one and all. At last one spoke : "Ihave a brother tor town's protector." "And I !"' "And I !" said the rest. "Have just the relations to suit, yon beat." Thas they asrrced I'll tickle thee And thon'll tickle me." Then All the hall With mirthful Klea And the coIohj liyea DisaTnateo. Of the act of the Board Tub Citizkn said editorially : "perhaps the most lamentable, the most serious part ot this sickening Alder man-brot her-tamil y-renn-ion-at-the-city 's-cx penae business is that the good sense and tbe sincerity ot tbe new A'dermeu are impeached by their truly remarkable performance Friday night This is greatly to be regretted because tne work or tne new Board is to be tbe moat important in the history of the city." The Citizxk went on to suggest that the brothers and brothers-in-law decline the offices and thus avoid tbe scandal. This advi was taken by but one of those elected. The Sons of Leisure on tbe followintr day. unanimously adopted ttu resolu tion : "That we shall ask the next Legislature to create offices sufficient to give to every man and his brother a nice. tat berth." Oa the 9tb of June Tub Citubn notic ing tbat' tne time was supping away urged "tbe necessity for much work in the way of street improvement before the winter comes." Alderman Starnes announced at meeting held on tbe 8th of June that be was in favor ot saying every possible dollar to tbe city, and proposed to vote that way for .tbe next four years. At tbe same meeting the Monttord avenue car line was ordered laid in tbe middle of the street and the street decided on to be SO tcet wide. Tbe asnwutl cssa. Beginning with tbe meeting of Friday, June 12, tbe Mission hospital case . thorn is tbe Board's flesh. ' Tbe hos prtal managers wished to erect a building at the corner ot Woodfin and Charlotte streets, while the Board, nrged i by some property owners in tbe vi cinity, refused to grant tbe permit. Tbe case went to the Supreme court and the Board lost. City Physician Starnes at this meeting yielded to his good sense and reaigned, giving as his reason the fact tlasvt "The Citixbn was saflfering from political scrofula and the Journal was dying from cholera infantum." Dr. Starnes' resignation was in the shape of a communication, and when Tub Citi xbn Busked to see it City Clerk Young re fused it. The mistake tre clerk, made in refusing public documents to the public was pointed out to him in The Citizen editorially, and this paper can say -thutt Mr. Young has, on every occasion since, cheer-fully accommodated THBCmtBN as tar as lay in bis power.

President Cleveland and party, accompanied by Ambassador Bayard, left the latter's res idence at 7:30 this morning and rode to the Pennsylvania depot in closed car riages). A crowd of people began collect ing at the depot as early as 7 . o'clock. The President and Secretary Gresham, after bidding Bayard a cordial farewell, hurried into a car as quickly as possible. The crowd cheered the president at every opportunity. 1 he regular express train came into the depot at 8:01 o'clock, the special car was quickly attached and the train drew out on its way to Washing ton. - Tbe President was standing on the platform when the car was drawn out tbe main track.

While Cardinal Vaszary, Primate of Hungary. was walking with his secretary, a well dress ed young man rushed upon the cardinal ind made a desperate attempt to stab him -with a knife. The cardinal stepped aside and the secretary received two vere stabs at tbe band of tbe assailant. The would-be murderer was arrested, but retnsed to give any information as to bis motive or identity. There seems to be no doubt tbat tbe attempt to mur der tbe cardinal was prompted by tbe intense struggle now going on in Hun gary in relation to civil marriages and tbe baptism of children of mixed mar riages. itrikk ar rORLD'B FAIR. mica ElKliljr Per cent, of tne Ble Mot at 'Worst.
