It is to be built by the proprietors of
the Phtenixville Bridge Works, of
Phaaiixville, Pa. The Scientific
American devotes the first page of a
late i.-sue to a handsome engraving,
showing in a group thiscontemplaled
tower and eight of the tallest struc
tures in the world—two Egyptian
pyramids, the spire of the Cathedral
of Cologne, St. Paul's, St. Peter's,
Strasbourg, etc., the highest of which
is 501 feet from curb to pinnacle. A
central tube, ISO feet in diameter, ex
tends from biise to top. and within
this are the elevators by which the
observatory at the hummit will be
reached by those who have the
courage to make the ascent to the
sublime outlook among the clouds.
This grand central shaft will be sur
rounded and supported by un airy
net-work of iron lubes and rods, pre
senting little surface to the wind.
The tower wilt have a baoe of 150

In the afternoon Senator McOor
mack, of Marion, offered the follow
ing concurrent resolution of censure
A'mn'mZ bij the. Ornate of Iowa, the
Ih,use concurring, That we emphat
ically condemn th»* law passed by
tlie 42nd Congress increasing the pay
of the members of Congress and oth
er officers of Government that the
action of all members of said Con
gress, of whatever political faith,
who voted for said law, or received
and retained the back pay under
said law, was unjust, contrary to the
bent interest of the country, and cal
culated to lessen the respect which
all good citizens should entertain lor
those in authority aud that we
hereby instruct our Senators and re
quest our Representatives to vote for
the immediate aud abosolutu repeal
of said law and the enactment of
proper measures—if such measures
c»n be constitutionally enacted—
compelling the return to the Treasu
ry ol the United States the money
paid out of said Treasury in compli
ance to he requir ments of the said
so called Sulm'u aU-ul law.
Krxulred, That the .signing of said
so called back pay law by the Presi
dent of the Lnited States was un
wise, contrary to the best interests
of the country and invites, as it re
ceives, the unqualified disapproval
of the people ol the State of Iowa.
Senator Roomer moved to postpone
the CiUisideralion of the resolution
until next Monday, as by that time
it was probable that Congress Would
have
disposed
^ater. The
of it.
Senator Shane called for an imme
diate vote, urging that the Iowa Sen
ate should aet in the premises inde
pendent of Congress.
The motion to postpone did not
prevail.
Senator Fitch offered an amend

of the resolution except that part

Senator
Stone offered an amend­

to the Democratic party that there

tiers voting lor mid bill than there
was of the Republican party. Whidi
was adopted, and the resolution as

the following as an amendment:
"And most earnestly request lhat

for the Democratic party, that, as by

Mr. Hannan, I Democrat and Di Ji

That ingenious political carpent»r
aud joiner, Senator M-Cnrmuck, ui
Murion ciuinty, tried to set up stag
ing in the Senate yesterday, to ex
hibit to ridicule the Republican par
ty. He succeeded in getting up tho
staging, but another party, his own
indeed, was in the end made the vic
tim. He made a show, and invited
everybody to it, only to have tho
curtains of his own stage rung up to
the quick music of his own discom
fiture. He introduced resolutions
rebuking Congress for passing and
a Republican President ror signing
the increased salary bill. Senator
Stone, with quick and ingenious re
partee, ottered an amendment con
soling the Democratic party in its
misfortune In having a greater pro
portion of its members of Congress
vote for said law than the Republi
can party had. The Democrats had
nothing to do but to go quietly into
the trap in which they had been so
gracefully caught, and vote for the
slinging rebuke of their own jmrty.
The amended resolution wtu adopt
ed, and goes upon the publio recoid
by'i»n unanimous vote. Senator Mc
Cormack does not think so much of
going wool-gathering now that ho
