THE GL0BE-THE CONGRESSIONAL sEWs
PAPER

The approach Of Congress calls Tor the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread iss
debates before The public The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped wal
continue, and enable me to perpetuete the Iull
history of the proceedings and discussions of the |
body on which The destiny of the Republic ae-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLosE
an official character the reporter of all that rs
said and done in the body. This sanction mas
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties. The prels,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the hac-
ity with which the duty thus conhded has been
performed The annexed notices, taken at rail-
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, ate submitted IN proof of its funesa, fair-
ness, and usefulness [ am compelled to omit,

The great CELEBRITY with which the letter-writcrs
for the distant press circulate through the teir-
graph their hurried accounts and views of Inc
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 parte, relations by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part
the ey act reports taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly, IN shape more or less abl'rr-
waited, went the rounds Of the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectiOns
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings oI
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their OK
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities OF the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-writen epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect Informal
ton Of what passe1 IN Congress Is greatly dmln-

diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wres, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almost IN vnin
that truth puts u,g boots to follow. Still there
are great many men OF leieure and thought VINO
like to WI ut 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 sane
of the future, willingly putronize work when
preservesa full record of the doings OF the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations con-
mensurate with the increased importance of Tn
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter anu
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
| OF both Houses of Congress. The coming
sion will probably be extended nine months, am
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35
| royal quarto pages of brewer and nonpareil tyne
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
umes, averaging 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. AL
| though this will increase In no small degree tine
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 super6ne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as sIered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alteratons the current news Of tnt
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obec
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in 1t, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in
! CONGRESSIONAL 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, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form.
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this hrst
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
Annual Message, the Reports of the PRINCIPAL
Officers of the Government that accompany II, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress- written
out or revised by themselves. 1t Is printed IN the
| same form us Tue CONGRESSIONAL HLUbE, h!u
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a seq
sion there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers II week-one of the CONGRESS
sIo.AL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
| ing the remainder OF, session, there ia usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of eacn
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GRsssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartc pages, printed III
small type-brevler and nonLarell. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number OF
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried
or lost in the mails; but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, fol
fear that we should not be able to supply all thu
| lost numbers
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with tn,
work, the money paid by them for it will be re
funded to them wheneverthey return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes Of
the CoNGnEssIoNAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
