THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
'TNHE APPROACH or CONGRESS calls for the
IL renewal IT 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 Inc to perpetuate
the null history Of the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny Of the Republic
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an oncial Character as the reporter Of all that Is
sald 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 contided has been performed
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates of
Congress, rerders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CoseREssIosAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances sz parte
relations by telegraph OF what occurs in Congress-
supersede, for the most part, tho exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety of coiorings take
the run Of the country and press but the official
oil Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unmutIated. In
Decd no newspaper can give them, and have room
Tor 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 eptome 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 of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and il is al
most in vain that truth puts bis boots to follow
Still there arc great many men of leisure and
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
galvanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly paTonizea work
which preserves full record of the doipgs of the
great moving and controlling power of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensuraie 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 session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
repoi Is 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 1886 royal
quarto pages and were bound In volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish In the APPENDIx for the next sea-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense Of
the publication, the subscription price will be The
same that it has been for aeveral years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
era and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations the current news of the day,
ana miscellaneous matter ne main OBJECT tOr
publishing the daily paper IL TO enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they published in The
CoSeREssioNAL GLOBE and Appendix.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE il made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and noppare,l in 9uarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in tkis first form,
sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPKN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions and other proceed
ipgs, are given In the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t lie printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during a session.
During the hrst month or SIX weeks Of session
there Is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-one of II CoNaRRssIorAL
GLOBE and one oil the ArPENDIx; but during the re-
mainder OF session there Is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next scosion will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNGR kssIoNAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
5oo large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end Of u session.
l will cndeavor to print sufficient number
OF surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar-
RED, or lost in the mails; but subscribers should
be very particular to file their papers carefully for
Iear That should not be able TO supply all tho
lost numbers.
II 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 GLosE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
have few copies of the back volumes of the
CONGRESSIONAL lobe and APPENDIX for sala mt
80 volume bound, which il is probable will be
disposed of soon; and when they are, they will
them no doubt, command at least $ 10 volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum-
There are % back volumes.
