THE CLOBE-TuE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations TO spread lis
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me TO perpetuste the full
history of the proceedings and discussions d of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter of all that is
said and done in the body. This sanction has
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties. The press,
too of all parties has borne testimony to the fde
ty with which the duty thus confded has been
performed The annexed notices, taken at
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are In

The great celebrity with which the etter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, in shape more less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their Imperfectons
and variety Of coorings take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings Of
both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the msce elaneous matter essential to their
isence While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-wrltten eptome
suited to the of it's patrons, perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
W res satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts his boots to follow Still there
great many men of leisure and thought who
like to wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves full record of the dongs of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurate with the increased Importance of the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming ses-
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 900 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
| will publish in the ApPENplx for the next
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase in no small degree the
expense OF the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that il has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as sered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day. and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publisng the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers TO see their remarks in it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLoBe and APPENDIx.
The CoNcREss,oNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed double royal paper, with small
type (brever and nonparei,) y in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches Of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed-the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar-
pENDix. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals
with the yeas and nays on every important ques
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CoNGREssioHAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during a session,
During the first month or six weeks of a ses-
sion, there is rarely more busIness done than Will
make two numbers u week-one OF the CoNehEs-
sIogAL GLOBE and one Of the ArPEYDrx; but dur
ING the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
eRrssIoNAL GLrEE and APpENpIx together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages printed ~
small type-brever and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscsrred,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able TO supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for IL will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. ! will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes of
the CoNGREssIoNAL GLoBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.

CoNGREssioNAL GLoBE and ArPENplx for sale at

as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
