PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
THE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the

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
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character as the reporter Of all that
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
and by members Of all partes. The press, too, OF
all parties has borne tcstinpny to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's

Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exactofical reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE The hasty and in many instancess1 parte,

deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their xistence. 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 epitome suited to the taste of is patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished The circulation OF theoficial
reports has been, to some extent, cut on by net

the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and It is al
most in vain that puts on his boots to follow
Still there are great many men OF leisure and

The undersigned has made preparations com.
mensurate 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 nonparei type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
Twill publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore Although
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 superine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report |
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any aIteratlOn5s the current news Ol
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNaR EssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX. -.
The CoNaR EssIoNAL 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 first form, |
are sometimes condenssd-the full report OF the |
H. Lo;., exraA fhn

ings are given in the form Of the Journals, with |
the yeas and nays on every important question;
The APPENDIX ia made up OF the Presidents An |
nual Message the Reports Of the principal offcers
of the Government that accompany 1t, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t ia printed in the same form

about the same numbor of pages during session
During the first month or six weeks OF sessioL
there ia Tarcly more business done than will make
two numbers q week-one Of CoNGREssloNAL
GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
malnder of a session there is usually sufficient
Ynstter for two or three numbers Of each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
breyier and nonpareii Complete Indexes to both
