THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER
| The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
| of my proposals and preparations to spread lis
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped win
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 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 fdel
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-
aREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances pa'te, relations by telegraph Of what
! occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
| winch formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectiOns
and variety OF colorings, take the run of the coun
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unlnuated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
islence. While therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
newts, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly written epome
suited to the taste of Its patrons, perfect Informa-
lion of what passes in Congress- 10 greatly dimln-
ished The circulation fthe official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofeisure 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
teries There others, too, who, for the sake
| Of the future, willingly patronize a work which
preserves full record Of the dongs 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 as 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, ant
the reports will not be comprised IN less than 350s
royal uuarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 800 pages each
The reports for the last long session made 1896
| roval uuarto pages, and were bound IN four vol
! umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages EACH
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion nil laws that may be passed during the SEES
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 taken down by the report
ers. and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of tbs
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
hers to see their remarks in it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
| CoNcREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
