THE CLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER


PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread ats
debates before the public The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped wnl
continue, and enable me to perpetuete the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
| ponds.
| The adoption of Congress has given the GLoDe
an official character as the reporter of all thar as
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 press
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the ha-l
| ity 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-usetulness. am compelled TO omit,
for want OF room, ~ page of notices which are an
type
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter-wrters
for the distant press circulate through the te,e-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates or Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoHAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in MANY
instances er parie relations by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eya act reports taken down bv reporters, ana
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abhre
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their lmperfectons
ana variety OF cOOriSs take the run OF the coifl-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the full 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
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-wrtten epitome
suited to the taste OF its patrons, perfect nforma-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimln-
shed. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
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 gavanic bat
teres. There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronize work when
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 proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming
sion will probably be extended nine months,
the reports will not be comprised liz less than 35Ut
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpare type
making a volumes of near 900 pages each -
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vo
urles averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next
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 will
contain the debates as 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 obecl
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable M EN-.
bers to see their remarks in it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGRE ssIoNAL 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 nonparei,) 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
pENpix All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
tion
The APPENDIX is made up of the President
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t Is printed IN the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or 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 week--one of the CONGRESS
sIo.AI GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but dur
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-
cRrssIoNAr GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed III
small type--brever and nonpareil. 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, 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
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
| have few copies of the back volumes of the
CoveREssroNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
IS volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed of soon and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There are 25 back volumes.
