THE GLOBE-TaE CONVERSATIONAL NEWS.
PAPER.
THE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
debates before the public. The success which has
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 Cor many
years, and by members of all parties. The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the fdel-
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, are submitted in proof of its fallness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want OF room, page of notices which are In
type
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 official reports Of the Con-
| GREssI0NAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances 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 u 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 no 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 ex
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 rapdly-written eptome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa-
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 his boots to follow Still there
are great many men oflesure and thought who
like to see 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 a work which
preservesa full record of the .doings Of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurnte 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 ses
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 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 he published during the
session on super6ne double royal sheet. II 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 object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and Appendix
