THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

PAPER.
THE approach of Congress- calls for the renewal
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 d discussions of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic de-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLoBE
an official character as 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 del
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, 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-writers
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 exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, IN a shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertise ents
and the miscellaneous matteressential to their ex
stence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dmn-
shed. The ejaculation 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 ia almost in vain
that truth puts hs boots to follow. Still there
are a great many men Of leisure 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 galvanc bat
teres. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preservesa full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic. i
The undersigned has made preparations c6tds1
mensurate with the increased importance of the
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, and
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 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 ses-
son 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 it has been for several years
past
The DAILY GIoBE will be published during the
session on a superine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as sltered by the speakers whenever they
make any attentions; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in it, and alter them fhey
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,
aud printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpare,) 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-
PENDix. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedngs, 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 1t, and |
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed in the
same form the CoNGREssIoNAL GLonE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a SEES
sion, there is rarely business done than will
make two numbers Il week--one of the CONGRESS |
SIGNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur |
inc the remainder OF session, there is usually |
sufficient matter for two three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually |
III L.. a. -.
GREssioNAL GLcBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type--brevier and nonparell. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end Of session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarried,
or lost in the mails ; but subscribers should be |
very particular to file their papers carefully, for |
fear that 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 whenever they 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, ana
