THE cLOBE-TaE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.

TsE approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
of nay proposals and preparations to spread lis
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking II 10 hoped viii
continue, and enable me TO perpetuate the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny oil the Republic de-
ponds.
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 fdel
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, submitted IN proof of It's fullness fair
ness, and usefulness. compelled 10 omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are in
type.
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-
GREssiosAL GLOBE. The hasty, 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 shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfeclions
and variety fcolorings, take the run of the coun-
try, and 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 isceaneous matter essential TO their eX
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
| news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing u rapidly -written epitome
suited 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 which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and II Is almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men of leisure 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 galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves full record of the dongs 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 SEES
| sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
| royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparel type
making A volumes of near 900 pages each -
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal uuarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
| 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 GLOBE will be published during the
session a superfne double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers. whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and misc eaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper Is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them ifhey
shall think proper before they published in the
| CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREss,osAL 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 nonparell) IN quarto form,
| each number containing sixteen royal quaro
| 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-
| 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 II, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed in the
same form the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during SEES ion.
During the first month or six weeks of SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one of the CONGRESS
sIogAL GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX but dur
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of each
every week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
|
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor TO print sufficient number o
surplus copies to supply all that may be mlscarred,
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.
II subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for it will be
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes of
the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
