PROSPECTUS FOR .THE GLOBE"

rINHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
L renewal ofmy proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me 10 pcrpetuate
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 G LOBE
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus coniidcd has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press 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 CoNGa
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances eI p0rfe,
relations by telegraph of what occurs III Congress
supersedc, for the most part the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In q
shape or less abbreviated. went the rounds
of tho press. Now the telegraph accounts with all
their imperfcctions and variety Of Coorings, take
the run of the country and no press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutiated. In
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite of the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpitome suited to the taste of it's patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is al
most in vain that truth puts ON his boots to follow
Still there arc great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves,
rather than to receive Impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There are Others too, who for
the sake of the future, willingly patronize work
which preserves full record Of the doings Of the
orr
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
lnensurate with the increased Importance Of the
duty he has undertaken as 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 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 1886 royal
puarto 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 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 a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and altered 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 Ia to enable Members
10 their remarks in IL, and alter them ii they
shall think proper before they published in the
CoSGR EssIoNAL GLosE and APPENDIX.
The Cones EssioNAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevcr and nonpareii) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condenscd-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArPEs-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, ate given in the form oa the Journals, wil
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Oicers
of the Government that accompany IL, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress. written out or
revised themselves il is printed in the same form
as the CosGR EssIosAL q GLosE, and usually makes
about the anne number Of pages during a session.
During the FIRST month or six weeks Of sessoL
there IL rarely business done than will make
two numbers a week-one Of {, e CosoREssIosAL
e. LOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but during the re-
inalnder OF a session there Is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore | calculate that the Coson EssIosAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
800 large quarto pages, printed in small type
