THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER
TINE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
renewal OF my proposals and preparations 70
spread IT'D debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking II 10
| 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
| 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 10 the fidelity with
which the duty thus conhded has been performed.
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates of
Congress-, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
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 Ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In =
shape less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press Now the telegraph accounts, Win az
their inperlectons and variety of colorings, take
the run of the country and no press bat the oiclaI
OF Congress ever publishes the fulI debate Win
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite oil the
public for Congress news, and meets the nccessf,
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste of its patrons.
perfect information Of what passes in Congress IL
greatly diminished. 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 al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
gavanic batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record OF the doings of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re
public.
The undersigned has made preparations
mcnsurate with the increased importance of the
| duty be 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 nine months, and the
| reports will not be comprised in eas than 5,ooO
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
| making volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
| raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the
sion, which has not been done heretofore Although
this will increase in email 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 a superfne double royal sheet IL VIII

ers. and as altered by the speakers whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day.
and miscellaneous matter The main object iof
publishing the daily paper Is to enable melnoers
shall think proper before they published In the
CONGRESSIONAL LoRE and APPENpix:
| 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, (brcvier and nonpareil,) III quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
| The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes conference.-the full report OF the
| prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN-
DIX All resolutions. motions, and other proceed
ings, are given In the form OF the Journals, with
| the and NAYS every important question.
| The APpENDix is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal Oillcer5
| of the Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress-, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in tho same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
| about the same number OF pages during n session.
| During the first month or six weeks Of session
there is rarely more business done than will make
| two numbers week-one of t. e CoNanEsstoNAL
GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder of session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSGR EssIoNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end OF session.
