PR OS ECTU S

THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER.

-. Z u
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 perpetuste the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which, the destiny of the Republic de-
ponds.
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 hdel-
ty 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 its fullness 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 by 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 Of colorngs, take the run of the coun
try and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the misce aneous matter essential TO their ex
istence. 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 a rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect nforma
ton Of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished The circulation of the Official reports has
/ been, to some extent, cut off by the crude 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 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 Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries There are others, too, who, for 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 as the only reporter 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 auarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type
making 4 volumes Of near 900 pages each. =
The reports for the last long session made 1896
4
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
| ! will publish in the APPENDIX 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 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. 1t will
/ contain the debates as 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 it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CosoREssioSAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
| The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE 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 first
form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
4 the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
| prsptx 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.

| Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
/ Officers of the Government that accompany II, and
ali Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written

i usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
