PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE

=
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal Of my proposals and preparations 10
spread it's 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
depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter OF all that ID
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 confided has been performed
The great ceerity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circ ulate through the
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates oi
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports Of the CoNdRsssioNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances sI p0rk'
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
superscde for the part, the exact reports ta-
ken down by reporters. and which formerly, In
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
thoir and variety Of colorings take
the Of the country, and no press out the o0lcai
of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unmutiiated In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the neCcssi
tics of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome 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, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and it 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 is actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
gavanic batteries. There are 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
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 800
royal quarto pages OF BREWER and nonpareil 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 Y74 royal quarto pages each.
/ viii publish in the ApPEspIx 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
came that it has been for several years past
The DAILY GLoBE Will be published during the
session on a superfinc double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates ID taken down by the report
crs, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alteratons the current news OF the day,
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
10 their remarks in it, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNonrssIoNAL e LOBE and Appendix.
The CoNsR EssIoNAL GLoEE is made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress-
and printed double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonpareii) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pagcs
The speeches Of the Members, in this first FORM
are sometimes condensed-the foil report Of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APpss'
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 ia made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Ofeers
of the Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
rcviscd Themselves Ii is printed in the same form
as the Coso EssioSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the came number OF pages during session
During the fret month or six weeks OF n session
there is rarely more business done than viii make
two numbers a week-onc Of tie CONGRESSIONAL
G. LOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder OF a session there 10 usually suihclent
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore l calculate that the CosoREssIoNAL
GLosE and APPENDIX together will make at least
500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end OF n session.
