OF August 1891. took up the work after it
had been inaugurated for seven months, but
the demands of the situation required that cases
arising in the month OF July. 1891. came under
my care. Hence, in making my report, have
included that month, so as to preserve the in
tegrity of the statistics for the fiscal year intact
In that time there were $50 cases OF diphtheria
and 1856 cases Of scarlet fever reported. Per-
soDal inspection was made in every Instance
and the warning cards required by the law were
properly placed and continued there the requi-
site time. Out Of the $50 cases OF diphtheria
there were III fatal Examinations. These figures
give percentage Of S2.6 deaths to the total
number of cases. OF these 4O6 were white and
only lag colored. In the matter of scarlet fever
there we're 3s5 cases, OF which $50 were white
and IS colored. Out Of the total number there
were 50 deaths, making a percentage Of

interest to note the great preponderance OF
the white element over the colored In regard to
attack by these maladies. And inaddition there
to it may be noted that neither Of these dis
eases is confined to locality or class, but the
cases referred to occurred in all sections Of the

the regulations in reference thereto easy to be
complied with and adequate to accomplish the

should be placed in complete state Of isola-

sufficient to inspire the victors with caution
Mr.. Cleveland has other and better reasons fol

of powerful body of capitalists and number:
of workingmen, and although their forces were
vanquished by the overpowering movement OF
public opinion. it is not desirable to make thei,
defeat too painful and ruinous. change from
the most monstrous absurdities of McKinleyisn
