TIHE GERMAN DRAMA. DEBUT OF MISS VON STANMWITZ, The German dramatle representation at the New Chicagro Theatre last evening was o brili- fnnt nnd successful aflalr, nud nover before was the house more crowded than it was on this oceealon, There had been some misgivingsntter the opening of this scason, beeuuse the ludy who took the leadlog part an thie opening night did not come up to the expectatlons of the Ger- man theatre-loving publle, The New Chieazo Theatre on Sunduy evenings is n fashlonable theatre iy the full senes of tho word,—just as much as is Wallack's or the Unfon Square Thea- tres in New York, The people who go to this place of nmusement do not only want to ece good neting, but they alse demand good” geenery — and tasteful dressihe. ‘The fact that the new leading lady whom Mr. Wurster has enguged for this scason was un- nounced to make hier first appearance last cven- g brought tuficthur this Jurge and fashionahble atidience, This lady, Miss Von Btannwitz, had been heralded ps a vcrf fine actress and the happy posnessor of otie of the finest wardrobes extunt. In fuct, she was sald to possess all those attributes’ which the supporters of the German theatro in this cn¥ 80 nuch deslre, Of course the anxicty to see her was very great, The play fn which ahe made her flrst appearance wus ths comedy of “Donna Diuna,” in which &ho took the titls role. *‘Donna Diana™ {s a4 work of great excellence by Morato, one of the best of Bpanlsh uuthors. It haa been translated {n all (he modern lan- fiungcn, and 1s one of the most successful cone- les over produced. Thers wus some misglv- ing Inst uvm)lng when the curtalu rose and Stage-mannger Donald np‘mnrell and anyounced that lie Was sorry to statethat tho leading actor, Mer, Helmer, had been suddenly taken 111, ane that the juvenile mau, Mr, Brockman, had becn substituted to take his part. He hoped the public would have Indulgence with any short- comjugs on this account, But soon alter the commencement of tho play it beewne uppurent that Mr, Brockman made an excellent substi- tute, and that thomisfortune was no hinderance to the performance. When the new Jeading lady mads lier appearance, she was recelved with round of npfinluusu and wus presented with o magnificent flower-basket. 8ho was a Jittle em- burrassed at first, but soon becaws acenstoued to the surroundings, and before she had pro- cecded tar ft becnme apparent that ths plts- ton which had preceded her was well deserved, and thut she was an uctress of no ordinary merdt, Her suceess was uncqulvocal, and tinie and ugaln sbie was called out and rewarded with rupturouy spplauss for her britllant und lfe-like impersountion. ‘T'he anxiety to see hor fu other picees, awd especlully fn trugredy, I8 very grest, 'he uetivg of Mr. Gustuv Donald, “in the difleult vole of Perin, wus onuther masters plece of that geninl perforiner, and bis success was fully equal to that of tho new lead- Ing lady. Mr. Brockmanp, who assumed, als st at’a moment's notice, the prinvipal purt of Jlon Cresar, dexcrves grent credit for bls oxeels lent acting, All the actors «id their best to inake tho ensemble o perfect one. 1t must atso bo mentioned that the scenery and decorations were the best yet seen at thu theatre, LABOR V8. CAPITAXY, THE COMMUNISTS, A ineeting of the Workingmen's party (8o- clullsts) wus leld yesterdny afternoon in Vor- waerts' Turner Hall,West Twelfth street, Philip Yaun Patten ovcupled the chatr, A B Parsons was the first speaker.

Howas opposcd to class leglstation, hut wanted the workingman to beat liberty to use the fruits of bis labor. Ilc argued that when Tabor was freed from tho thealidom of capital, then would sclence and art be free. 1lo wanted this to ben people’s country nud free to ril; and that would not ba until ‘the Work- ingmen's party linve obtained supremacy. They wanted m‘lml tights for all. Hc sold thal n men in this country were not fres and equal, It was not rccognized by capitalists, “The moneyed closses used tho learned men and sclenco to support them. IHe was oppuscd to the systemn of eapitaliste, He would not de- nounce men beeause they were rich, but the means they used to obtalti thelr riclies. Money should not be o private right, but the property ofall. The workingmen should doaway with the system of wages and favor vd-operation. 'They ‘ave twelve (o ciziteen hours o day in_slavery {!u the capltalists, Tu this way they hnd twenty yenrs of thele lives taken from them. The brain-laborer and the physical-laborer were alike the slave of capltal, The speaker dls- enssd the platform of the Workinguien's party at great length. Alter Mr. Parsons, Messrs, George Schilling andd Philip Yan Patten mado nddressce, explaine ingz the working and intention of tho Worl ing- men's party, alter which the meeting ade Journed, While tho English meeting was being held In upper Turner Unll, yesterday alternoon, the German Communists ‘also hicld o scssfon In the lower hall, I1 8tahl occupled the chair and J.

They needed also a dally. Tho weekly paper wns only to ‘be reand on Sunday, but what they wanted was & paper to read evenings. e wanted them to have n first-class daily, which would attack dafly the politienl fallucles of the doy, and which would dally discuss the Soclalist principles. This was thi kind of a paper needed {n Chicago, Thers wero no papers in the United States which wero run Independently or fn the interest of tho people, but all were Tun in the Interest of the capital Ists. But when they gotafree paper, then would the workingmen win their lberty. At thie conclusion of the u{mcch subscriptiotts wero called for, after which the meeting adjourned, TIE CIUAR-MARERS, A meeting of cigar-makers was held yesterday afternvon in the hall of the Bchwelzer Manner- chor, 45 North Clark street.

YACHTING, YESTERDAY'S CRUISE OF TIIR CLUD. Tha cruise of the yacht squadron to South Chicago yesterday was another of the pleasant features of tho yachiing scnson. It was n all probnbility the last erulso this fall, for the weather Is setting In most too cold to make nquatiesports attractive, Another race {s talked of, and there {s an effort belng made toget up o eup for the Ina, Frolie, and Mamie. The peoplo having the schemo in charge should make all possible hnste, for the citlzens of Chicago, though they are beeoming more and more inter- ested In yachting, won't turn out In the winter timo to sce a race, howover exclting. Eloven boats got away yesterday morning at quarter past 10 from the foot of Van Buren street. Commodore Bradley made the Ina tho flagg ship. The rest were as follows: Frolle, soiled by Capt.

Several of the'larger boats ran up to tho har- bor, but the major part moored at the long pler, and the erews murchied up to the hotel, where dinner hard been ordered and was in readiness, Besldes the yachtsmen, there were o number of invited guckts, swelliog the dinner-party to about sixty, At 3:%0 tho smnller hoats were started out, the larger following soon after, and the whole squadron urrived at” Van Burcn street at nbout b o'clock in the afternoon. = Tuese crufscs are the best tratning to bo fm- agined for our local yachtsmen.

Michigan Central Stockholders Fixing a Dose for the Directors. Rallrond Assessments as Equal= ized by the Illinols State Bonrd. —— THFE MICHIGAN CENTRAL STOCK- IIOLDERS A petition (s being prepared by stockholders of the Michigan Central and Lake 8hore Rail- road Conipanles, says tho New York Herald, dl- rected to the officers and Dircetors of those Companles, calling attentlon to a long serles of irregularitics and fllegal transactions fnsugu- rated by the late Board of Directors, and rati- fled and carried out by the present management, This preliminary step is indispensable to the beginning of an actlon againat the Directors' for mismanagement, for o sult at law cannot be maintained by an Individual stockhiolder agninst the Directors of a corporation for mismannging its affalrs, unless tho Dircctors firat reluse to begin the actlon themselves. After o majority of the stockholders request the Directors to be- ginsuch suit and the Iatter refuse, a Court of Equity will intervene, and any sharcliolder may file a bill in behalf of himsclf and all the other gharcholders, and elther compel the DI- rectors to perform thelr duty or make them de- fendants in an actfon for damage and account- fng. It hos Leen scttled as o matter of law that o sharcholder may sustain a bill in equity agninst the corporation, the Dircetors, and other stock- holders on allegations of frandulent practices depreciating the valuo of the stock and with- holding dividends, and may pray for restoration of whatever has been fraudulently withdrawn from the common stock. Rumor of the street ave a3 leaders In this movement Meesrs. Rufus latch, A. 8. Peabody, T. B. Musgrave, and Rus- sel 8nge. Some of these gentlemen on being called” upon admitted that there was such u movement, but degmed it imprudent to ssy any- thing furtlicr on “the subjcct at present. The petitfon referred to, sofar ns {ts substance conld be learncd from outside partice, scts forth that the real parties in interest in rail- road corporations are the shareholders and bondholders, whose intereats the Dircetors as- sume to pmlr.-ct; that under the common Jaw the corporation s bound to carry all passen- gers and freight for the public at the sanio rato. sliowing no partiality, and in casc any diserim- ination 18 shown the State that grants the fran- chise Ia bound to Interpose and protect the pub- leand compel the corporate authoritles to res ct their rights. But this fsall the Intercst that the public or the State has in the corpora- tlon or ita workings. The Interest, however, which the bondholders and thu stockholders have Is o distinet aud definite one. They wwn the property, and they should control ft, sub- Ject, of course, to the tights of the State, The relation between the Directors and shareholders is that of o trustee, and by reason of the fldu- ciary relatfons thus formed and the power which the Directors have to -abuso thelr trust and cucrosch upon the rights of the share- holders the Courts hold these Directora to the strictest nccountabillty; and n case the Dircet- ora adopt any course antagonistic to the rights of the aharcholilers the courts ars bound to fn. tervene at once and reverse their actlon. But still more {s this duty obligatory whenever the Directors pursue any policy or ninke any agree- ment which is not only acalnst the intcrests of tho stockholders, but with o view to advance the interesta of . the Directors themselves, then the nets of the Dircetors became a misdemennor and a frand, and s!l they do {s not only fuvalid fn it- gelf, but renders the Directors personally lable, not. nnlé' in damagea but fn penulty, No Dircetor can mako any bargain with himself on behalf of his company, no matter how advautageous to the Compnuny the bargain may be. He s for- bidden by law also to make o bargaln for ong company of which he i a Director with another company of which he s nlso a Dircctor. Thero- fore, where corporations have conflicting interests, it fs {mpossible thnt the same man can bo trusted fn both, and perform equally his duty to both. In thocase of the Michigan Centraf Rallrond Companv, it scems that among o numboer of mine Dircctors, some of them were owners of or Directors in another corporation. ‘Thoss Dircctors combined and concluded an arrangement Letween those two corporations Ly which certain rights of tho Michigan Contral Raflroad Com- puny were parted with, and alease of anothier rond was exeeuted which bound the Michigan Central Rulrond Company to pay that corpurn- tion 8o much a year, thus’ depriving tho share- Tioldera of that Company of {ta legitimnto carn- ings, ‘This arrangement and lease the law will declare to be vold for three ressons—one, that the Directors who executed it wercunfalthful to thelr trust in parting with the properly of the Company; another, that the relations of tho Directors to the two corporations wero such that it was fmpossible for them to muard ihe Interests of hoth equatly; and a third, that the arrange- ment has resulted in dlsaster to the Michlgan Central Rallrond Compauy, und in diverting the Jegitimate earnings futo the treasury of suother corporation when they should "have gono iuto the poclets of this corporntion. Bub- sequent to the executlou of the several leascs made by various corpurations to tho Michigan Central " Raliroad Coinpany a portion of the Dircctors in these varlous corporations, fuclud- ing the Michigan Central Raflroad Commpany, ns they existed then and do now, made an arringe- ment amoug themselves whereby somo of thise Directors, ns mdividuals, were to deliver tosome of these various corporutions of which they were Directors their rallroad fron and other supplies. It Is charged that o most exorbitant rrl«:c was charged theso corporationa by these individuals, and very large profits resulted therefrom to them to the rreat disudvantage of thu corpora- tlon, It 18 waintafued that the polley adopted ond pursued by the Directors of the Michigan Ceatral Railrond Compnny for several years has been not only nntogonistle to the intercsts of the Compmn‘y, hut to the sola advantage amd individual protit of the Directora thumselves; that, by making such areangements as to bring thele {udlvidual intcrests in con- fllet with tho Intercsts of the Company, the Dircetors have made themselyes personally Mable in damages, und call thelr acts and Instruments and bargalng have become absolutely vold in law, and the stockholders Tiwve the right to control, eancel, and overthrow thein, and to recover from cach individual Director, in behalf of the Company, all of the profits which they have lost Ly reason of their relation, and nll the damage which the corpora- tion s suffered by reason of thelr unlawful and fraudulent acts, Previous to the adoption of this polley by the ofticers and_Directors of the Michigun "Central Railroad Company, the Company was doing a_profitable business, de- riving large revenues from freights ana fares, and paid a regular dividend to its stockholders. But immediately after this policy was udopted thosa dividenda” ceased, th Incoine of the rond wus diverted to other channels, and tho share- liolders left without dlvidends or fncome. Nor is this result brought wbout, a5 the Dircetors would have the public belleve, h{ the universal dopreeslon {n the country or Irowm financlal pressure, but, on tho contrary, tho gross tounage and passenger traflic have gradu- ally increaged, and the expenscs of rune ning the road have materfally dhuinished, But in pranruun, however, as”the prolits of the raflruad Lo its stockhbolders have decreased, the individunl wealth of coch Director has increns- cd, and it cannot be acconnted for in any other way than that in the policy pursued, and the virlous arrangements inude, they had the indi- vidual profits of the Directors in view rather than the stockliolders. 1t becomes,therclore, the 'muunncu further assert, not only the right, hut the duty, of cach atockholdery not only for bis own futereat, but as o duty 1o other stock- holders in other companies, to demand In abod; thelr rights. Toslt quivtly by and see thefr pockets plundered by unfuithful trusteesis a crime, and to permit unfaithful Directora to enrich themevlves l.v{ u hetruyal of their trust is Turnishiug such [mmuuity to respectuble thieving as endungers the morals of the com- munity and demorallzes I)ubllc sentiment, After stutingz that the law 1s clear und well settled o8 to the right te compel the Directors toan uccounting of thelr trusts, the rullllun usserts thut the remedy for the stockhiolders s not only civil, bue criminul sgalnst o trustes of an fn- curporated property, sl this whether he b ap- fulnml by the Court ur elected by stockliolders. n addition to the foregolue statements of the stoukholders! petition, 1t §s claimed on their be- half that durlug the few years post the DI- rectors of the Michigzan Centrul Roud have pald 1o flve other leased roads near $5,000,000, ufl of which should have gong to the buncfit of the stockholders; that the Directorsare also largely interested in tho Rolling-Car Company amd ths Sleeplng-Car Compuny, aud that Ju vome unac- countable way, which the #tockholders ure naw anxjous to seek and solve, they have grown rich while the stockholders have 'L“’"" pro- portlonutely poor.
