PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
VvHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal Of my proposals and preparations TO
spread it'd debates before the public. Ihc success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking IL is
hopcd will continue, and enable me TO perpetuate
the full history the proceedings ana discussions
Of the body on which the destiny OF the hepuohc
depends; o -, ; ,,o = c,o,r
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,
aud by members of all parties. The press, too, OF
all parties has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus conhded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter, writer's
FOR the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates Of
Congress, renders moro important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er pdrfe,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs IN Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters, and which iormeriy, IN a
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with al
their rinperfections and variety OF colorings take
the Of the country, and no press put the oficia
of Congress ever publishes the iull debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated ln-
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence Whe, therefore. the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessl-
ties of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste OF Its patrons,
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cot oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, nying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and II 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 ana
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
nalyanic batteries There 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
mcnsurate with the Increased importance of the
duty be 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 3,ooO
royal q,larto pages of BREWER and nonparel type,
making volumes OF near 600 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging g7i royal quarto pages each
