He was carefully guarded and pre- Vented from inflicting more injuries upon himself, but for two gays he refused to take nourishment as far as possible and without a struggle. The physicians say death was due more than anything else to McDonald's determmation not to live. It was a remarkable exhibition of will ower.

In brief, Professor Dunning sald the men who had handled the negro question in the middle of the century were of strong emotions and narrow in judgment, laboring under the delusion that the abol- ishment of slavery meant the abolishment of every other obstacle immediately. In the discussion which followed Professor Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard Uni- versity said that the removal of the negro from the South by colonization elsewhere would kill the Southern States. He de- plored the lynching of negroes, but as- serted that if the people of a community demandéd the hurning at the stake of ne- as a penalty for committing hor- rible crimes, the State should make burn- ing the legal penalty.
