President Angel N his annual re-
port 10 the board Of regents, which has
recently been published IA pamphlet
form, calls attention TO the emoar-
rassment which Is beginning 20 exist IN
the university OF Michigan OWING TO
the meagrs salaries paid the protes-
sors. The question IS one tina, deserves
not only the most careful consideration
of the board OF regents but /, IS a
matter that the state legislature itself
q in duty bound to consider. IL IS
humiliatIngly true that the University
OF Michigan places lower monetary
value upon brains and sch olarshlp
than any other institution OF equa
pretentions IN the country. The pres-l
ent reputation OF the university Is due
solely TO the men tha. have been CIV
ing instruction in is various depart
ments. Their learning, influence, and
strength OF character have raised It to
one of the foremost positions among
the educational institutions OF the
county. While other universitle, and
colleges have been gradually raising
the salaries of their professors, Nichi-
gan has ACCEPTED the fruits OF the ripe.t
experience and scholarship, permitting,
in a large measure the knowledge of
work well done, 10 be It's own reward.
College professors. while not neces-
sarily msrcenary, are not indifferent to
the comforts and advantages that re-
-ult from decently large salaries. With
the eastern universities paying salaries
from two to thgee times as large as
those paid at Ann Arbor, and with the
Chicago and other western universities
paying salaries even greater than those
IN the east, It IS only aquestion OF time
until the most valuable men will have
deserted It for more remunerative po-
sinons. Michigan cannot Afford to
lose its ripe, experienced and accom-
pushed instructors. The way to retain
them IS to pay them salaries proper
tionap to the value Of their services.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

Where the American playwright will
stop is problematic. We have plays
written 10 introduce pugilsts. morse
shoers, apes, horses. dogs ambitions.
The only thing that keeps a troupe OF
performing elephants from appearing
as theatrical stars, IS the impossIblllty
Of strengthening the stage of each
stand. Under the Lions Paw" opened
10 big business ~ the Grand on Christ
mas night. The play deals with circus
life, that is the lions. which figure
prominently IN several acts. AS
an introd ucuon to the performance of
the hons in the third act II serves its
purpose, if that be the reason it was
written. PlOt-there is none. Those
who have visited the circuses IN the
past two or three seasons have seen
Colonel Boone, Nile. Carlotta and the
lions and dogs do their really excellent
Turn. The same performance Is gwen
AT the Grand through a five act
drama" The company is equal TO
reQulrements-which are slight. "Un-
der the Lions Paw" will be given the
entire week with the usual matinees.

strong turns. Avery and King do q

Josie Harvey plays q slide trombone
with remarkable skill, getting a Won
derfully clear tone. Legga has an
aerial act that is sufficiently daring to
make the gods gasp. The Hughes
have q novel brother act IN which they
are assisted by a woman. The balance
of the bill IS fair.

UNIFORM BANKRUPTCY.

"One OF the most important measures
at present awaiting action by congress,
says Bradstreet's, Us the Torrey bill
providing for the establishment of q
uniform system OF bankruptcy under
national administration. The measure
has had an interesting history. The
bill after receiving the Endorsement OF
the leading exchanges and CONNER
cial associations of the coun-
try. as well as of individual
experts on the subject of bank
ruptcy, was passed by the house of rep
resentatives OF the fifty-first congress IN
1890. IL was reported favorably by the
senate committee on the judiciary, but
was not reached for consideration by
the senate at that session by reason OF
its place on the calendar. Ii was rein
troduced in the senate of the tifty-sec'
ond congress, and was reported favora-
bly, by the judiciary committee Of the
house Of representatives at the last ses-
sion. Events gave certain other meas.
urea q temporary prominence al
tina. session, and the bank
ruptcy bill suffered in con-
sequenbe. Moreover, owing to the i'm.
minence of the struggle for the presi.
dency, the mind of the average mem.
Der of congress was not in the best pos,
sible condition 10 consider and pas:
upon the subject at the time.
The passage of a uniform bankruptcy
law by congress would do away with
suspicious, beget confidence between
creditors and debtors. and, moreover,
result in the reduction OF the price OF
goods and of the rate of interest on
money, for the reason that the selling
trader can afford under a state Of af.
fairs which renders credit secure TO re-
NIT the percentage added to reimburse
HIM for his losses because of the risks
incident to trying to make collections
under bad laws.
