PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
| rJNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
| renewal of my proposals and preparations tc
| spread it's debates before the public. The success
| hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuatt
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 GLOBE
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, o
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus conhdcd has been performed
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
Tor the distant press circulate 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 CoNGREssIoNAI
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances eI parte
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede for the 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 mperections and variety OF colorlngs, take
the Of the country and press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unrnutilated In
deed, no newspaper can give them and have room
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessl-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epiome suited to the taste of its 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, hylng along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and it is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots TO follow.
Still there are 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
galvanc batteries There are others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronlzea work
which preserves full record of the doipgs OF the
great moving and controlling power Of the Re-
public
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate 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 extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparell 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.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be pas9ei during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done h.f.toforc. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense ol
the publication the subscription price VIII be tho
same that il has been for several years past
The DAILY GLopE will be published during the
session on a superine double royal sheet. IL 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 is TO enable Members
to see their remarks in 1t, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CoNoREssIoSAL q LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CosoREssIosAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
| A ,.aD
type, (brevicr and nonparci in ouarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condcnscd-the full report of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEs
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, arc given in the form of the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Presidonps An
nual Message the Reports of the principal officers
of the Government that accompany IL, and all
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised thcmseves 1T is printed in the same form
a the CoEGREssIoSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the SEINE number Of pages during a session.
During the fret month or six weeks Of 4 session.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one Of I G CoNGREssIoNAL
GLoEE aud one Of the Appendix; but during the re-
rnainder Of n session there is usually suflicic Mt
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CONoREssIoNAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
3 500 large quorto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparcii. Complete Indexes TO both
will be furnished at the end OF a sessi,n.
I will endeavor Co print a sufficient number
Of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar-
ricd or lost in the male but subscribers should
be very particular TO file their papers carefully, for
fear that I should not be able TO supply ali the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for It will be re-
funded 20 them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. I will
give subscribers the subscription price for any Of
the previous volumes of the CoNGREssiOSAL GLoBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
have a icw copics Of the back volumes OF the
Coxon rssIoNhL g. GLonE and APPENDIX for salc Mt
s volume bound, which Il is probable will be
disposed Of soon; and when they arc, they will
then. no doubt, command at least b 10 a volume,
a. they cannot be reprinted for lcss rtsh that
There arc % back volumes.
