THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

FAfEk. 4
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 ii 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 idel-
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 !, -
for the distant press circulate through the tele
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
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 eyact reports taken down bv 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 no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
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
tiers the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written epitome
suited the taste of its patrons, perfect Informal
| ton Of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
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 II is almost in vain
that truth puts his boots to follow. Still there
| are great many men oflesure and thought who
like TO see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
| receive Impressions altogether from gavanic bat
teries- There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves a 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 III
| duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
| publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses Of Congress. The coming SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, ans
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ot
royal quarto pages Of brewer and nonpare type
making volumes Of near 300 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 ArrESDrx for the next SEES
/ sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which has not been done heretofore. AL
| though this will increase in small degree the
| expense OF the publication, the subscription price
| will be the same that il has been for several years
past.
The DAmr GLoBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. IL viii
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as sliered by the speakers, whenever they
| make any alterations; the current news OF the
i day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
| Cor publishing the daily paper is, TO enable Mem
bers TO their remarks IN IL, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
| CoseREssroxAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoxeREssIoshL 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 quarto
pages. The speeches OF the Members, in this first
| form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP
| pENpJx 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.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany It, and
all Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. II IL printed in the
same form as the CONVENTIONAL GLoHE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks Of SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than viii
make two numbers a week--one Of the CoNeREs-
uosAt GropE and one Of the ArPESptx but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there N usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers Of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cow
esEssoSkL GLoHs and AFrsSDrx together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type--brever and noDpareIl. We furnish
complete Indexes 70 both At the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred,
or lost in the mails but Subscribers should be
very particular to hle 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 il viii be re-
funded 20 them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. viii give
the subscription price for any previous volumes Of
the CoNeRrsgosAL GLoBE or the APPEsDIx, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
