THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

PAPER.
THE approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread Tvs
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 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
| wears, and by members of all parties. The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the hdel-
| ity with which the duty thus confded 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 fulness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | compelled TO omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are III
type.
| The great CELEBRITY with which the letter-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 hasy, and in many
instances er 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 a shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety of coorings, take the run of the coun-
try and no press but the official of Congress ever
| publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters the eager appetite ofhe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities Of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written epitome
suited to the taste of its 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 II ~ almost IN vain
that truth puts hs boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from gavanic bat
teries There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronze work which
preserves full record of the dolngs 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 repoftet and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not he comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonparel 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
unes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
i will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
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 it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLopE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
I'll II A
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
| for publisng the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers their remarks IN II, and alter them they
shall think proper before they published in the
| CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE snd APPENDIX.
The CoNeRLssioNAL 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 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 Ap-
pENpIx 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 IL is printed IN the
same form the CosGREsHoNAL GLoBE, and
| usually makes about the same number OF pages
/ during session.
During the first month or six weeks Of SEES
sion there is rarely more business done than will
| make two numbers a week--one Of the CoNoHEs-
| sIoEAL GLoBR and one OF the APPENDIX; but dur
| ing the remainder OF a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of eocb
| every week The next session will be unusually
| interesting therefore, calculate that the Cow
oRrssroNAL GLcBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF q session.
| We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus copies TO supply all 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 to them whenever they return the mum bers
which have been received by them. ] will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes Of
| the CoNGRESsioNAL GLoBr or the ARPENDfy, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
! have few copies Of the bock volumes of the
CoVeREssioNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX for sale at
! As volume bound, which IL is probable will be
! disposed Of soon and when they are, they will
| then, no doubt, command at least SO a volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
| There are 25 back volumes.
