The GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER

PAFEk.
Tue 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 ii is hoped will
continue, and enable me 10 perpetuete 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 GLopE
an official character as the reporter Of all that s
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-
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, ae submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want OF room, 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 Cow
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 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
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential TO their
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
| news, and meets the necessities of the political
press. by furnishing rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of it's patrons, perfect inorma
ton OF what passes IN Congress Ia greatly dmin-
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
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 what 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 tn
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proc ceilings
Of both Houses of Congress-. The coming SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
| 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 four vol
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
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 that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLoBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. II will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as sItered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obec
| for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks IN it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are 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 papdS 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 Ar
PENDIx 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 President Is
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany lt, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks Of a SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers u week--One of the CONGRESS
| sioEAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but DUR
ing the remainder OF session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
Hha ,aytll ba mall,
interesting therefore, calculate that the Cow
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed in
small type--brevier and nonIa reiI. w furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number of
surpuscopies to supply all that may be miscarried,
or 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
