THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
THE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread It's
hitherto attended this undertaking it is 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 de-
Ponds.
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 the fde
ity with which the duty thus conhded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, submitted in proof Of it's filllness. fair
ness and usefulness. compelled to omit.

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-
aREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part.
the exnct reports taken down by reporters, and
winch formerly, In shape more or 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 coun-
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins

news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written eptome

ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
shed. 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 ofeisure and thought who
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries There others, too, who, for the sake
| Of the future, willingly patronize work which
preservesa full record Of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations com-
mepsurate with the increased importance Of tbs
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, ana
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nOnpareil type
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 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 superfne double royal sheet. 1t win
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; 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 and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNcREs sIoNAL GLOBE is made up of tho
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 first
FORM are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
pENDIx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important quas-
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, ard
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t IL printed IN the
same form the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than Will
make two numbers week-One of the CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; buf our
ing the remainder Of a session, there IS usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers~of each
every week The next session Will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
cRrss,oNaI. GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and noDParei. ~ furnish
