THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
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 il is hoped will
! continue, and enable me to perpetuste the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body ON which ths destiny of the Republic de-
pends. sN
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 del-
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 funess, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
Tor want OF room, page of notices which are in
type.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
Tor 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 Cow
GREssIokAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances ca 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 u 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 of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutlated. 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
ers 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 its patrons, perfect lnforma
llon of what passes IN Congress is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation of the Official reports has
n ~ off htyt he dc and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
w.res satisfies curiosity, and it 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 what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than
receive Impressions altogether from gavanic bat
| teries. There others, too, who, for the sake
OF the future, willingly patronlze 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 nonpareil 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
uiheo, averaging oif royhi uudito pages each.
i will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
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 wears
| past.
The DAILY GLonE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. Ii will
! contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as sltered by the speakers whenever they
make any attentions; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE and APPENDIX
| The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
| and printed on a double royal paper, with small
| type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
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-
PKNpiX. 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 or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form us the CoNcREssIoNAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during u sess ion.
During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers n week--one of the CoNGRgs-
sIogAE GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of a aesson, 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-
rpr y and Ann her will
make at least $500 large quarto psees, printed in
small type--brever and noDpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor to print su ffcient number
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred,
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 CoNGKEssIoNAL GLOBE or The ArPENDIx, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
! have few copies of the back volumes Of the |
Co GREsnoSAL GLosE and APPENDIX for sale at

disposed of soon and when they are, they will |
then, no doubt command at least 80 volume,
they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
