PROSPECTUS FOR ssrHE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
rsNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal ofmy proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpctuate
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 LOB E
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 copfided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press crcu ulatc through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
Congress- renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CoNGa EssioNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs In Congress
supersede for tho most part, the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their i'm perections and variety of colorngs, take
the Of the country, and no press but the ofcia
of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutiated. In
deed no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore. the
telegraph ndmniste to the eager appetite OF the
ties of tho political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste of it's patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation ol the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and 1t ls al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what ia actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
gaivanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record of the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurac 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 3,oOo
royaI uuarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareii type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN = volumes ave-
raging 974 royal quartO pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX Tor the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price VIII be the
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session a superhne double royal sheet 1t will
crs and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper ia to enable members
shall think proper before they are published In the
CONGRESSIONAL G LOBE and APpENpIx:
The CoNoREssioNAL 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 sometimes conference.-the full report oil the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN-
Dix. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and Maya on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal oIccrs
of the Government that accompany IT, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
revised the nsevcs Ii is printed In the same form
as the Conc EssIoNAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the fret month or SIX weeks oi scssloL
there ia rarely more business done t9pn VIII ma
two numbers week-one of e CoNGREssioNAL
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
InaInder OF session there 10 usually suincient
matter for two or three numbers oil each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing: therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together wiii make az leas'
