enough to see that there can be no gen.
eral prosperity without employment, at
good wages, for every laboring man in
our city.

Heart Failure.

The American A,,alyst thinks that it would
be an excellent idea if physicians of the
present day would invent some other reason
for about all the deaths which occur nova
days thin jttAa1-r-the heart fsilure; Il is difficult
for any one conversant with the organs of
the human body to understand how any
human being can die without heart failure.
while the causes of the failure Of the heart
at death may be very numerous. This might
not be of serious moment were it not for the
fact that hundreds of people are being
nearly frightened to death by the constant
use of the cause for sudden deaths, and
many people who are sick, and necessarily
have some heart symptoms, are kept in con-
slant terror by reading or hearing in other
ways Of death after death by heart failure.
1t would be well for physicians who are too
indolent or too ignorant to search out the
disease lying back Of the heart failure to
consider how much harm they are doing
the community, and if they cannot correct
the habit, newspapers and the public should
avoid giving currency to this unfounded
and dangerous phrase. There are probably
no more deaths from heart failure in these
times than heretofore, but new cause for
death has been coined, and the nervous and
timid are being severely injured by it.

''NegrOes OF COlOred People :"

Somebody, presumably a negro, or ''col-
ored person" sends us an inquiry wanting
to know ''what is our name-negroes or col
ored psople?" and hopes We will answer the
question. AS the inquiry seems in earnest
we will say that Webster, the recognized au-
thority on definition in this part of the
world, says that negro is "a black man;
one of a race of black or very dark persons
who inhabit the greater part of Africa, y
having ''crisp or curly hair, fat noses, high
cheek-bones, and thick, protruding lips. "
Does the inquirer recognize the picture?
Webster also gives another definition, viz:
"Nigger, a negro" BY common consent,
however, the latter term, "nigger," is usual
ly applied to bad negroes-those who hank
er about hen roosts at uncertain hours of
the night, and have great love for white
folks chickens.
But railery aside, the colored people, Oh
negroes, have no reason to be sensitive or
feel indignant when they are called "ne-
groes." This is their proper designation.
They belong to the negro race. Tie tern,
negro is not disrespectful. A "colored man
