FOR
THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread lis
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-
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 conhded 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 fulness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page Of notices which are In
type.
for the distant press circulate through the tee-
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 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 less abbre-
waited went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety ofcolorings, take the run of the coun
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutiated. 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
tiers the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities Of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-wrtten epitome
suited to the taste of Its patrons, perfect nforma-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
isho cd he IF he of al has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, lying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men Ollie and thought who
like to 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 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 in less than $500
royal quarto pages of brewer and nonparei type
making volumes of near 900 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal auarto pages, and bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the ArrENDIx 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 GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in 1t, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGRHssIoSAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings of The two Houses of Congress,
and printed a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto 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
PuNDIx 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 It, and
all Speeches Of Members of Congress, written
out revised by themselves IL is printed in the
same form the CoNGREssIoNAL GLoBE, and
usually mikes about the same number Of pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one Of the CoNeREs-
SOCIAL GLoBE and one OF the APPENDIX but dur
ing the remainder OF session, there il usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers Of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cow
eRrsIoNAL GLcBE and APPENDIX together will
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 10 print a sufficient number Of
surplus copies TO supply all that may be mscarried,
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 numbers
which have been received by them. ] will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes Of
the CoreREssIoNAL GLOBE or the APPENDtT, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
