THE CLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER.
The approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it 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 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 sal ction 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 fde-
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, are submitted in proof Of its fulness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want OF room, a page Of notices which are in
type.
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
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-
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 bv reporters, and
| which formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectiOns
and variety chickering's, 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 unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
! can give them, and have room for advertisements
| and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
lstence. 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 rapdy-written epitome
suited to the taste of it's patrons, perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
shed. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying 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 ofleisure 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 Expressions altogether from galvanc bat
seiiSo. Auoic uIc otHeIs, toO, WuOy iOT the SAKE
of the future, willingly patronize 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 r->>cTter 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 nonpare type
making volumes of near 900 pages each. -
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 97d royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the ArrEsDrx 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 small degree the
expense OF the publication, the subscription price
will be the that ii has been for several years
pasr.
The DAILY GLoBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as 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 49, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNcREssiosAL GLoDE and APPENDIX
The CoNGRLssIowAL GLopE is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches OF the Members, in this frs,
form, sometime condensed-the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar-
PEsDx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedngs, are given in the form of the Journals
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton.
The ApPEsoix is made up OF the Presidents
ID =
Officers Of the Government that accompany IT, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written |
out revised by themselves. II is printed in the |
same form as the CosGREssIosAL GLoBy, and |
usually makes about the same number Of pages |
during SEES ion.
During the first month or six weeks Of a SEES
sion, there is rarely moro business done than will |
SOCIAL GLoBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder OF a session, there is usually \
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually /
therefore, we calculate that the Con-
oRrssioNAL GLcBg and APPENDIX together will |
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in |
small type-brever and nonpureil. We furnish |
complete Indexes Ia both at the end OF n session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number |
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarried
