THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
YENHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
depends.
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus conided has been performed.
The great celerity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
CLONE. The hasty, and in many instances er Parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs IN Congress
supcrsede for the most part, the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In
shape more orrAfsss abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts with all
their inperfections and variety OF colorngs, take
the of the country and no press but the ofclal
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutllated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them and nave room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential TO their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public tor Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished The circulation of the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to joow
Still there are great many men oil leisure ana
thought who like TO see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
.I.. f,,lI of ia
great moving and controlling power OF the ne
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mcnsurate 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 session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised IN less than 5,ooU
royal quarto pages OF BREWER and nonparell type,
making A volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In A volumee, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX Tor the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degreethc expense OF
the publication. the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session superine double royal sheet IL VIII
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper ID to enable members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNaR EssIoNAL GLoEE ID made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparcil in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, IN this hr5t form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
tho yeas and nays every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents 3 An
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Oticers
of the Government that accompany IT. and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. Ii s printed in the same form
as the CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks of u session.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one of c CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder of a session there Is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
CLONE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type,
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end of a session.
will endeavor to print sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar
red, or lost in the mails but subscribers should
fear that / 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 numbers
which may have been received by them. | will
give subscribers the subscription price for any of
the previous volumes Of the CONGRESSIONAL Clone
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
