THE GL0BE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.


OF my proposals aud preparations to spread lis
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable ale TO perpetuste 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. Thepress,
too of al! 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 fulness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are in
type. A
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-
GREssioNAB 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 bv reporters, and
winch formerly, IN d shape more Or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety chickering's, take the run of the
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their
istence While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofhe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-wrtten eptome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation ofthe official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wres, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like TO see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize 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 the
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, 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 ses-
sion all 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 that il has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfine double royal sheet. Ii 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 the
day, and miscellaneous matter The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, TO enable Mem
bers TO see their remarks IN IL, and alter them ifhey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoEAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoEGREssiosAL GLOBE is made up IF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (breyier 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-
PEHpIX. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form OF the Journals
with the yeas and nays on every important ques
lion.
The ArPLSpn is made up OF the President q
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers OF the Government that accompany It, and
all Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out revised by themselves. IL is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during a SEES ion.
During the first month or six weeks OF SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one Of the COSGREs-
Ho.AL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder OF 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-
GREssIoEAL GLoBE and APPEEDIx together will
q'ake at least $500 large quarto psges, printed in
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number o
surplus copies 10 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 we should not be able TO supply all the
lost numbers.
II subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for il will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. ] will give
the subscription price for any previousvolumes of
the CoseREsuoHAL GLoBE or the APPENDIy, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
