PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"

PROSPECTUS FOR 'sTHE GLOBE
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal Of my proposals. and preparations i to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continuc and enable me TO perpctuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny oi the Hepubhc
depends,
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates oil
Congre renders important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
CLONE. The hasty, and in many instances er parte,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs In Congress
supcrscde, for the most part the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters. and which formerly, III
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts with all
their itnperfections and variety Of coorngs, take
the Of the country and no press but the ohcial
of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses uninutiiated. In
deed, no newspaper can give thcm and have room
for advertisements and the miscellancous matter
essential to their xisence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news and meets the necessi
ties of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF its patrons
perfect information of what passes in Congress ID
greatly diminished. The circulation ol the olnclal
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satishc5 curiosity, and II ls al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are a great many men of leisure and
thought who like to what is actually said and
done in Congress- and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves u full record OF the dongs OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re
public.
The undorsigned has made preparations com
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 session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages OF BREWER and nonPareh type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave.
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.

The CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE Ia made up OF the

and printed a double royal paper, with small
