TIE approach OF Congress calls for The renewal
Of my proposals. and preparations to spfsad iss
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it 10 hoped val

The adoption Of Congress has given the Gl."ns

telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the couu-
try, and no press but the official Of Congress
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutiated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex
istence While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome
suited the taste of its patrons, perfect informa-
ton of what passes in Congress IS greatly dimln-
ished. The circulation ofthe Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost In vnin

are a great many men of leisure and thought VINO
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

Of the future, willingly patronize work when

moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance of tn
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
or both Houses of Congress. The coming SEE
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ut
royul uuartu pages of BREWER and nOnparell 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
urnes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the APPENDIX 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 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 a superfne double royal sheet. 1t 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 it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CoNcRsssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on 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 hrst
form, are sometime condensed-the fnil report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
rENp,x 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 1t, and
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, 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 more business done than will
make two numbers week-one OF the CoNGREs-
s,oSAI. GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of eacn
every week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GREssuoNAL GLOBE and Appendix together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type-brever and nonLareil We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
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 chat 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 it 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, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
