THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEW s
PAPER.

IHE GLUBE-IHE CONGkEblONAL NEW
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread MS
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions Of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
pends. t. II. ..2 ~.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character as the reporter of all that rs
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 fact
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 fulness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | compelled 10 omit,
for want of room, a page of notices which are IN
type ...;.".
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the teIe-
graph their hurried accounts and sesls Of tns
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact 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 hv reporters, ana
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abhre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfectIons
and variety chickering's, take the run of the conn
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings or
both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no. newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written epitome

ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimln-
shed. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
res, satisfies curiosity, and II is almost IN VAIN
that truth puts on his boots TO follow. Still there
are great many men of leisure and thought VINO
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
teres. There others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronlze 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 the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of brewer and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 900 pages each =
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal uuarto pages, and were bound in four
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
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.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations the current news Of int
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main ob'ecl
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
beers to their remarks IN II, and alter them iftheY
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIo GLOSS 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 nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quaruo
pages. The speeches Of the Members, in this trst
form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
PESDIx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings are given in the form Of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton. 90, ..
The APPENDIX is made up Of the President s
Annual Message, the INepOTlb VI the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany u, and
all Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL is printed in the
same form as the CoNGREssoNAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks Of a SEES
sion there is rarely more business done than wiil
make two numbers "A week-one Of the COsGREs-
uoyAL GLoBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder OF a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers Of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
OCCASIONAL GLoBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nonla reil. We furnish
complete Indexes 10 both al the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surpluscopes to supply all that may be miscarried
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.
