In the vernacwhr of i stall ol.l New Kng.
lanJcr, "there he grout going on" iu that
porti(n of the city known : "Smoky
town." From the l.eginninj of autumn until
the weather in June grows too warm to
work, all the northwest end of our city is
Muck with the smoke that goe up frnr.i the
furnaces, few though they he, that bless Ot
tawa by bringing to the city many working
men to consume what we have to sell, and to
make wares that are sold in every purt of
i he ountrjr.
The g si inJmtrie of this city are slowly
but steadily increasing in importance, and
i HawA ti rapidly becoming known to outside
places as a manufacturing centre for bottles,
window lights and lamp chimneys. There
is no reason why these branches of industry
should not fit il I more increase. Here are all
the facilities for cheaply manufacturing and
putting upon the markets of the country
every article of ordinary use that, can be
made from glsxs. On every side is to be
foun 1 the white glass sand which can be had
for the digging and cost of hauling. The
competition between the coal interests of
La Salle and Strcator is so sharp that nituate
between the two mining centres of our
county, Ottawa manufactures are furnished
with the best quality of lump coal and slack
at the cheapest rates. With two great com
peting railway lines passing through the
city, the rates of transportation arc neces
sarily low, and every point to which goods
are to be shipped, or frum which goods are
to be received, is easily accessible. Outside
of the facilities afforded by rail, there is still
cheaper transportation afforded by the canal,
and though perhaps for general merchan
dise not available, yet for bulky goods,
where speed in delivery is not necessary,
transportation by canal is a saving nnd a
benefit to great industries. Through the ef
forts male by the Ottawa Window Glass
t'ompany and the Ottawa Lottie and Flint
Glass Company and the excellency of the
wares manufactured, by them, the third and
perhaps the largest of our glass industries
was attracted to our city and made a part of
what every citizen of Ottawa trusts is but
the nucleus of a really great glass centre.
The I.a Ii.-istie process of making lamp
.hinineys in the United States and Canad i is
now the exclusive property of a citizen of
Ottawa, and the manufacturing of them to the
number of twenty thousand doen each week
goes on in the factory at Sniukytown " de
pitc strikes and bad wta'her, for aliuo.-t
fifty weeks out of every year giving steady
and profitable employment to two hundred
men, women, boys and cirls working in
every capacity from the blower who gives
form to the chimney t" t lie girl in tho j-ack-
ng house who places upon it the trade mark
of the La Iiastie Glass and wrap? it in the
labelled paper of . De la Chapelle & Co ,
ready to be packed in straw fur shipment.
From the general store houe every day is
shipped north, south, east and west these
chimneys, and though the furnaces are run
to their full extent there is never too great a
supply on hand to meet the demands of the
the market. All this zoes en heedless of
tariff agitation, and senatorial obstruction at
Washington, for the process is a patent one
and the tarilt laws affect it little, whilst the
men employed in the work? are mostly dem
ocrats nnd the arguments of the '' Vermont
Senator" are regarded by them with little
of respect and nothing of favor. Many of
the blowers came from Mrooklyu where they
learned through the influences pervading the
circles presided over by Mcl.aughlan to feel
that it was a better thing to be a democrat
than a repuMican. Fortunately for the
democracy of this citv and cjunty they cling
to their Brooklyn ideas as regards democracy
an 1 ripuM;caa!s n, tin 1 arc not les strong
in the fiiih thiin I Ley w -re when they took
their last trip over the big bridge at. the
" City of Churches."
At the head of the La Ilatie Chimney
Works of this city, as propriitor and dii ec
tor of them is E. He la Chapelle, who, without
solicitation on the part of the citizens of
Ottawa, located his works here, because af
ter prospecting for snue time h' felt assured
that Ottawa presente I more an 1 better facil
ities for the manufacturing of his wares than
any of the neighboring citie, and tint it
was more profitibie for himself to have his
furnaces here than in Brooklyn,
where they formerly were, an! better for
his men. The change fr-un Hrooklyn lo
Ottawa was a very fortunate thing fur Otta
wa, if not for Brooklyn, f r it has pivi-n
an increase in the city's population of sev
eral hundred people, and added greatly to
the amount of money each week in cireula
tion amougst us. It has iven to "mukv
town" a new brick building ninsuring one
lain ire 1 by two hundred fert, besides n
numbir oMiuildings nppurter.ant to the main
one, and left that smoke begrimmed part f
Ottawa without a vacant tenement house.
M. I'e 1 i Chape'.U is a Frenchman who
came to Brooklyn ten years ago and began
the manufacture of La Bastie chimneys, hav.
ing first obtained the right to do so in the
United States and Canada. He is thorough
ly a business man, active and keen in Li
business transactions, understanding exactly
how to handle those in his employ. lie has
all the characteristics of a French gentle
man, and the shrewdness of French finan
cier. Trior to the Franco Prussian war he
had resided near to Lyons, engaging in fancy
farming. At the outbreak of the war he
volunteered his services to the Fmperor and
was made colonel of ahattery of about twelvr
hundred men. teaching Paris before the
Prussian army had surrounded the city and
entered upon its siege, he assisted in prep ar
ing fr it, and when it was entered upon
passed through it all. For services rendered
by him ho was complimented by being made
a Knight of the Legion of Honor. The
knowledge of discipline gained by him in
his command of the troops under him is evi
dently proving of benefit in his business
transactions, for among the men at labor
for him there exists the utmost business
discipline and perfection of detail. Without
knowledge of, or experience in the manage
ment of a factory, cither for chimney glass
or any other kind, M. De la Chapelle can
well congratulate himself upon the success
thai has come to him during the past ten
years in the enterprise that he is now en
gag, d In.
The particu'ar benefit of the La Bastie
process of nianuacturlng chimneys arises
from the peculiar way of annealing the
chimney after it is blown. The chimney, as
far as the ingredients going into it, is the
same as the ordinary chimney, and it is
blown in the same way, only the blower adds
a little more glass which give9 to the chimney
a greater weight. The e'Ject of the anneal,
ing is to make the chimney stronger in re
sisting bent and less liable to break when
dropped or thrown upon the floor. It in no
wise ofl'ects the transparency of the glass
and with the exception of the weight, the La
Bastie chhnney is not unlike in appearance
any chimney blown in the numerous chim
ney houses of the country. The valuesecurcd
to it by the process adds but a trifle lo its
price, and as a result there is each year an
increase in the market demand for it, result
ing in a crowding out of the ordinary chim
ney ware, and in the closing up of some of
the smaller chimney houses.
The La Bastie process originated and was
patented in France, England, Germany, Aus
tria, Belgium, Russia, Portugal and the
United States in 1HT1 and 1875, by A. de La
Bastie, a friend nnd former neighbor of M.
de La Chapelle. It resulted from a series of
experiments extended through a number of
years by M. lie la Bastie, who cm-
I loved his time in scientific and
chemical researches. It was brought about
more as a result of experiments made by him
for purposes of pleasure rather than of
profit, but under the management of M. De
la Chapelle it has been made a thing of
great commercial value. Nut the least cur
ious matter connected with it is that those
who have attempted the manufacture of chim
ncys under the La Bastie process in France
have not b:en in the least successful, whilst
here, M. De la Chapelle has been eminently
so. Before he had more than fully com.
meneed operations in this country, the
American Institute at New York, in 1 S77,
awarded to the work done by him through
the Frenchman's process, a medal, and since
that time it has been frequently compliment
ed. Here and there have been made imita
tions of the La Bsstie chimney, but thus far
they have not been of such a character as to
deceive the public, at least the spurious arti
cle has never yet been able to involve the
manufacturers into a law suit. The most
notable attempt to deceive the public was
that of a company that put upon the market
a chimney labelled the Alabaster Chimney,
but the fraud designed to be played upon the
people by the similarity of the name was
readily detected.
.
it
To one who has never witnessed the blow
ing of chimneys and the peculiar process
employed in the making of the La Bastie
chimneys, the trip to the factory is well
worth making. It is the busiest place in
the town. Go into the factory and no one is
idling away time, from the smallest boy who
carries water, to the biggest blower who
causes shape and symmetry to come from the
molten shapeless glass on the end of his
blow pipe. No one is to be seen who is not
only active, but energetically so. As the
business of the factory increases and t lie de
man 1 for La Bastie goods grows, the factory
will be enlarged and the number of men
employed in it greater. In chimneys, nt
least, if in nothing else, Ottawa bids fair to
lead the other glass cities of the United
Sta'c-s. '
The Boar 1 of Supervisors of La Salle
county, at its laic meeting, passed a resolu
tion endorsing the candidacy of Hon. .lames
W. Duncan, of that county, for the position
of dstrict attorney fur the northern district
ot Illinois. We believe Mr Duncan has no
opponent for the position outride of Chicago,
and when the President concludes to make
the change his claims will doubtb-sa be con-
si lerj I. Mr. Duncan is one of the foremost
lawyers of Illinois, a man of unimpeachable
character, and a democrat who never waver
ed in the support of the j arty and its prin
ciples, lli-i appointnunt wjuld be a pjpu
lar one. Jid"t

The J. F. Glid icn PuMi-hin,j Company, of

some very effective tariff reform work. If
the people of tLis country would real with
care and cohsideration such articles as have
recently appeared in these papers there
would be less general ignorance upon the
subject of the tariff, an 1 less willingness, on
the part of the people to longer keep up the
farce of an attempt to acquire riches through
ihe medium of excetsive, uncalled for and
unwise taxation.

The Cigar Maker' Union, of this city, have
published an address calling attention to the
fact that many of the consumers of cigars in
this city seem to prefer to buy cigars made
in the tenement houses of New ork rattier
than patronize our local cigar industries. Of
course those who purchase cigars nave
at
right to buy them wherever they care to;
but it would seem the part of wisdom to pur
chase of home manufacturers rather than
from outside ones, especially as the home
industries furnish cigars ns cheaply and of
as good quality as outside competing par
ties. All that can be supplied towards making
