CONGRESSIONAL NEWsfAfEh.
TIME APPROACH OF CONG RESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals. and preparations TO
snrcad its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking IT 10
hoped will continue and enable me TO pcrpetuate
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
depends.
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 inc hdehty wi'h
which the duty thus conlidcd has been performed
The great celerity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through he telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF tho deoates OF
Congseas, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CoNonKssoNAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many Instances er porte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs IN Congress
supersode, for the most part, the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In
shape more or less abbreviated. went the rounds
of the prcss Now the ctelegrnph accounts, with all
their ilnperfections and variety OF coiorngs, take
the run of the country and no press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutiated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, ana nave room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential TO their existence While therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the neceasi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpitomo suited to the taste of ts patrons,
perfect information of what passes III Congress i5

reports has been, to some extent, CUT OH py Inc

The undersigned has made preparations com
mcnsurate 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 session
will probably be extended mne months, aho .ne .ne
reports will not be comprised in less than 5,5oo
royal quarto pages OF BREWER and nonparell type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each a Inc
reports for the last long session made 1890 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next scs-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Altnougn
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price VIII De the
same that it has been for several years past;
The DAILY GLonE will be published during the
session on superfine double royal sheet II Will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the oay
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
nublishine the daily paper is TO enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them II tney
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNoREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX
The CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE Is made up oi the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpare, in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
arc sometimes condenscd-thc full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the AppxS-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
-. far Af hR
the yeas and nays every important question:
The APPENDIX is mado up Of the Prcsdenps An
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Oficcre
of the Government that accompany IT, and oil
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL LOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF sessioi
there ia rarely more business done than Will make
two numbers week-onc OF = CoNGaRssioNAL
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re.
.lnainder of session there ia usually sufnclent
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together Will make at least
3 500 large quarto pages, printed in small typo
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end OF session.
l will cndeavor to print a sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar

be very particular to file their papers carefully, Tor
