PROSPECTUS OF THE
CONGEsE SSEONAL GLOBE.

Inc approach OF congress calls tor the renewal OF
my proposals and preparations to spread its debates
before the public. The success which has hitherto at
tended this undertaking is hoped will continue and
enable to perpetuate the full history the procee
dings and decisions of the body which the destiny
OF the republic depends.
i The adoption of Congress has given the Globe al
official Character the reporter oil that is said and
done in the body. This sanction has been voted az
every successive session for many years, and by
bers of all parties. Che press too, of all parties has
borne testimony the fidelity with which the duty thus
conided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letterwrers for
the distant press circulate throug Telegraph their
hurried accounts and views of the debates OF Congress
renders important than ever, the full and exact
official reports of the Congressional Globe. The has
ty-and In many instances pGrte-relatiOns by Tel
egraph of what occurs in Congress supersede, for the
most part the reports taken down by the repor
tiers, and which formerly in shape more or less alb
brevated, went the rounds of the press. Now the
Telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons and
variety of colorngs take the of the country, and
no press but the official of Congress ever publishes
the full debate with the proceedings of both houses
unmutilated Indeed, no newspaper give them
and have room for advertisements and the miscelane
Gus matter essential to their existence. While there
fore, the Telegraph administers the eager appetite
of the public for Congress news, and the
sites of the political press by furnishing a rapidly
written epitome suited the of its patros per
feet information of what passes in Congress- great
y diminished. The circulation of the official reports
have been; to extent. off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfy curiosity, and it almost in vain that
Truth puts on its boots to follow. Still there are Z
great many men of leisure and thought who like to
what is actually said and done in Congress- and to
Judge for themselves, rather than receive impress
sions altogether from gavanc batteries. There are
Others too, who, for the sake of the future, willingly
patronize work which preserves fall record of the
doings of the great moving and controlling power of
the republic.
The UNDERSIGNED has made nrenarations comrnnus,1-
safe with the increased Importance of the duty he has
undertaken the only reporter and publisher of the
complete debates and proceedings of both houses OF
Congress. The coming session will probably be eX-
tended nine months and the reports will be
prsed in less than $500 royal quarto pages of BREWER
and nonparel type, making four volumes of 900
pages each. The reports for the last long session
made 1896 royal quarto pages, and bound in
four volumes, averaging 974 royal qnarto pages each
will publish in the Appendix for the next session
ali laws that may be passed during the session. which
has not been done heretofore. although this viii in
crease in small degree the expences of the publ
cation, the subscription price will be the that ii
has been for several years past
The Daily Globe will be published during the session
on a superfine double royal sheet. 1t will contain the
debates taken down by the reporters and altered
by the speakers whenever they make any alterations
