Daily Democrat PROFITABLE WATCH MANUFACTURE. At the annual meeting of tlieWaltham Watch Company, in Boston last week, it was voted to increase the capital stock of the company by $1 ,oco,ooo,makrog the total capital $3,000,000, A cash dividend of 50 per cent, was also de- dared. The treasurer of the company, in ex plaining the matter, said that the company had a surplus of 52,000,000 above its capital. The capital stock had been increased to the extent of the cashdividend.and those ofuhe stockholders who wished could take the cash they received in dividends and purchase new stock at par in pro rata proportion to what they 1 Iready held. It was not a stock dividend. The other $1,000, COO surplus would be used in carrying on the business of the company. There would be no additions to the works on the head of the in crease in stock. In 1S65, when the capital stock was $300,000 a dividend of 1 50 per cent, was made and the stock increased to$750,ooo. In 1SS0 a dividend of 1 00 per cnt. was made and the capital inc-eased to $1,600,000, and in 1SS5 the stock was increased $500,000, for which the stockholders paid. INDUSTRIAL GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. Reports made to the Chattanooga Trades man concerning the development in Indus trial lines in the southern states during the first three months of the year 1SS9 show a continuance of the remarkable industrial progress. During the quarter there have been a number of strong corporations or ganized in the south, resulting in the in flux of millions of northern capital. Ten nessee, Alabama and Georgia seem to have received most attention at the hands of northern capitalists, although much outside money was invested in Kentucky and Vir ginia. A computation made from actual returns shows that 691 industries were es tablished in the south during the past three months, against 625 new industries estab lished during the same period of last year. From our regular correspondent. WASHINGTON. Washington, Apiil 8th, 1889. Poor President Harrison. The New York gang have made his life a torment for the last week. They have figuratively jumped on him and. wiped up the floor with him. They have pulled him this way, that way and the other way all at the tame time. Ail the factions have been strongly represented here. The bone of contention has been important Federal offices of New York city, with the enor mous patronage that goes therewith. It was one of these same offices that drove Conklingand Piatt out of the United States Senate and eventually resulted In the assasination of Garfield. With all this to think about I imagine that Mr. Harrison, with his pale, careworn face, has wished the whole crowd in Halifax more than once. As yet he haj decided upon only two of these officials, Erhardt, who allowed him self to be put up last Nc vember as the re publican candidate for Mayor of New York city, when he knew that it was the intention of his party to trade him off for rotes for Harrison. He is rewarded by being appointed Collector of Customs for the port of New York. The other is Van Cott, who is made Postmaster in place of the Mugwump Pearson, whose reappoint ment by Mr Cleveland four years ago doubtless cost the democrats many votes In New York. The fight is still on over the other appointments and is likely to continue until they are made, unless Harri son runs away for a few days as he has threatened to do this week. A delegation of Ohio republicans went to the White House on Saturday and read the riot act to Mr Harrison, and told him that the Buckeye state was bound to go democratic nt the coining state election if he did not give her more recognition in the distribution of the offices. They evidently did not get much satisfaction for they came away in a very bad humor and prophesied all sorts of bad things for their party in Ohio. When the Senate adjourned last week Mr Harrison thought he would get rid of same of the most persistent of the office seekers, but he was sadly mistaken. Since then a large number of republican Sena tors have almost lived In the White House. The negroes of the South who have co.ne here to get Federal offices are very much discouraged. I overheard a conver sation between two of them from Louisiana, in a -otl lobby. One of them said : "I am going back home ; you may let Pitt Kellogg fool you Into believing he can get you something, but after what Harrison said to us to-day, I consider the jig Is up." The negroes arc not taking this neglect easily by any means. They are kicking and swearing vengeance on the republican party. It docs seem a little queer that out of nearly 400 Presidential appointments thus far made.not one is a negro. Mr Hlggins, tl.c new republican Senator from Delaware, seems to be almost as much of a political hustler as his eminent democratic namesake from Maryland. The new pension officials are beginning early. Already one decision of ex-Commissioner Black's has been overruled that will re-open thousands of cases heretofore decided adversely. The lady clerks In the Postoffice Depart ment are much exercised over a rumor that the Postmaster General intends to make them a'l dress alike, as he docs the hundreds of lady clerks In his Philadelphia store. Mr Harrison is unfortunate in not pos sessing the splendid physique which car ried Mr Cleveland through four years of the most ardous toil. Already, at the end of one month, he is forced to take a vaca tion. And his complaints of the burdens of his office have from time to time filtered out to the public. He has heard the appli cations of thousands of officeseekers, he says,and can't remember what one of them wanted ! This physical weakness and ina bility to carry things in his mind is, of course, the president's misfortune and not his fault. At the same time it is in un -pleasant contrast with President Cleveland's clear insight and marvelous memory. The opium habit is said to be very pre valent at Washington, especially among society women. The endless round of balls and receptions destroys their nervous systems, and in order to obtain sleep they resort to opiates of various klndi, finally be coming confirmed opium consumers and ready to sacrifice everything for the covet ed drug.
