THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.

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 iscussions of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic de
Ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the Glopr
an official character as the reporter of all that il
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 ide
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. | am compelled To omit
for want OF room, page OF notices which are III
! type.
The great CELEBRITY with which the etter-wrers
| 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 pdrie, relations by telegraph of what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN a shape less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfeclons
and variety of coorings, 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 miscellaneous matter essential 10 their eX-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapldly-wrlten epitome
suited to the taste of It's patrons, perfect nforma-
ton of what passes IN Congress Is greatly dunn
ished. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified acy UNITS which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see wi at ls actually said and done in Con-
gress, and 10 Judge for themselves, rather than To
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
terles. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves Il full record of the dongs of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurae with the increased Importance of the
duty he has undertaken az the only reporter anC
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, ana
the reports will not be comprised IN less than 500
royal quarlo pages of BREWER and nonparei type
making volumes of near 800 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging ga royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the ArPENDx for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase in small degree the
expense OF the publications. 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. IL will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as stered 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 II, and alter them lfhey
shall think proper before they published in the
| CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APrEEDN.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress
and printed double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) IN quarto form
each number containing sixteen royal quartz
pages The speeches OF the Members, in this frs
form, are sometime condensed-the full report o
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
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 President
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 as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of page.
during sessl ION.
During the first month or six weeks of a SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers IA week-one Of the CONGRESS
sIoHAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder OF session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APrEsDm together will
make at least $500 large quarto pnges, printed in
small type-brevler and nonparell. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF a session.
! We will eudeavor 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.
! IL 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 CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
! | have few copies of the back volumes Of the
! Co NCREssioNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
s. volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed Of soon and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 a volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
There are 25 back volumes.
