PR PECTUS
FOR
TIE CLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals and preparations to spread ils
debates before The public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the full
history of the proceedings and d discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
official character as 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 hdel-
ity with which the duty thus conhded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression IN favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof Of its funess, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled 10 omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are IN
type.
The great ceerty with which the letter-wriers
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 official reports of the Cox
aREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parfe, 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 or less abbre-
Waited went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety Of colorings, take the of the coun-
try and no press but the official Of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the misce aneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. 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 a rapidy-written eptome
suited the taste of its patrons, perfect informa-
ton of what passes in Congress IL greatly dimin-
ished The circulation of the Official reports has
! hu he crudp nd
diversified accounts which, wing along the electric
W res, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost IN vain
that truth puts his boots to follow. Still there
are great many of leisure and thought who
like TO see W. at is actually said and done in Con-
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Expressions altogether from gavanic bat
teres. There are others, too, who, for the sake
| of the future, willingly ratronze work which
preserves a full record of the doings 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 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 III less than 35OO
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareii type
! making 4 volumes of near 900 pages EACH
J The reports for the last long session made 1896
! royal qunrto pages, and were bound IN four vol
| umes, averaging 97i royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the ArPENDIx for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
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 1t has been for several years
| past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during The
session on a superfne double royal sheet. II will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
al. ..ft a tha
| day, and mise ellaneous matter. The main object
for publisng the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their rremarks in H. and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CosGREssroNAL GLoBE End APPENDIX
The CoNcRxssroNAL GLOBE is made up of the
! daily proceedings OF the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
| type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in qusrto form,
each number containing sixteen royal qunrto
| pages The speeches OF the Members, in this first
| form. are sometime condensed--the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
pENDIx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
esedngs, 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 President's s
] Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany IT, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed in the

usually makes about the same number Of pages
during a ses ion.
During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one Of the CoScREs-
ao.AL GLoBE and one OF the APPENDIX but dur
! ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
! every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
eRrssiosAL GLcBE and APPENDIX together viii
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
| small type-brevier and nonpareil. e furnish
! complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
! We will endeavor to print a sufficient number Of
surplus copies 10 supply nll that may be miscarred,
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 it will be re-
! funded 10 them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give

will thank any person who will let me have them.
