The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an ohcial character as the reporter of all that is
said and done in the body. This sanction has

years, and by members Of all parties. The press,

The great CELEBRITY with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the teIo-
graph their hurried accounts and views of tho de-
bates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cox
ShtssloNAL uLoBE. The hasty-and in many in

Is almost in vain that Truth puts on his bouts to
follow Still there are u great many men of
leisure and thought who like to sec what is actu-

themselves, rather than to receive imprsssions nj

ers, 700 who for the sake of the future, willingly
patronize work which preserves a full record Of
the doings of the great moving and controlling
power of the republic.
