THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread is
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
history of the proceedings and discussions Of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GIobE
an official character as the reporter of all that IS
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 fde
ity with which the duty thus con6ded has been
performed The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor of the
work, are submitted in proof of its fullness, ta'r-
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are IN
type
The great celerty 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 CoH
eREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph of Whist
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most parI,
the eS act reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, In shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
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 ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph sdmnls-
ters 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 informu-
tion of what passes in Congress is greatly dlmln-
ished The circulation 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 it is almost in vaIn
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are a great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 70
receive impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronlze work when
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 tn
duty he has undertaken 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 35O(
making 4 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 APPESpIx for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase IN no small degree the
expense of the publication, the subscription prlce
will be the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLoHE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. II will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of inc
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main oblecl
for publsing the daily paper is, TO enable Mem
bers TO see their remarks H. and alter them lfney
shall think proper before they published in the
CoseREssIosAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a 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 full report or
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
PEsDIx. 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 President g
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany II, and
all Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL is printed IN the
same form as the CoSeREssIosAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks Of res
sion there is rarely more business done than vii
make two numbers week-one Of the CoSGREs-
aoxAL GLoBE and one OF the ArrESDrx; 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
eREssroSAL GLoBE and ArPESDrx together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes 10 both at the end OF a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surpluscopits supply all that may be miscarried,
or lost IN the mails I; but subscribers should he
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able 10 supply oil the
lost numbers.

funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. ] will give
