THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
| of my proposals and preparations to spread its
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 for many
| years, and by members of all parties The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the ide
| 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 fullness, fair
| ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
| for want of room, page of notices which are IN
| type
The great celebrity with which the letter-wrters
| for the distant press circulate through the tee
| graph their hurried accounts and views Of the
debates Of Congress-, renders more important than
ever the full and official reports of the Con-
| GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph Of what
| occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
| the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, IN 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 press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated 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
to the eeger appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
| hv furnishing n rAnI1V- eDitOme
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimn-
ished. 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 ia almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sahe
| Of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power Of the Republic.
| The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate 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, an
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 SEES
| sion all laws that may be passed during the
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.
, ,,,,u In ,,,,bl had u al
session on a superfne double royal sheet 1t will
| contain the debates 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 1t, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
| CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
| The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparei,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime conference.-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP
pENDIx. All resolutions, notions and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
| ton.
The APPENDIX is made up of the President IS
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pages
| during session.
During the first month or six weeks Of ses-
sion. there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers u week-one of the CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but DUR
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
| every week The next session will be unusually
| interesting therefore, calculate that the Cox
| GREssIoNAL CLONE and APPENDIX together will
| make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
| small type--brevier and nonparel. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor toprint sufficient number
surpluscopies to supply all that may be mscarrled,
| or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for 1t will be re-
funded to them wheneverthey return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes of
the CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
