TIE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread its
debates before The public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking is hoped will
continue, and enable 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 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 ide
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
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the teIe-
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-
GREssioNAL GLoDe. The hasty and in many
instances ca parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
| the exact 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 imperfectons
and variety of coorings, take the of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publ ishes the fun debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutialed. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written epiome
tai ia sto # orfo
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation ofthe Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut of by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
w:res satisfies curiosity, and II is almost in vain
| that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofeisure and thought who
| like to 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
preservesa 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 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 quar'o pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
The reports for the last long session made 1896
troyal 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 same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during The
session on u superine 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 il, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks it, and alter them ifhey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNcREssoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
! The CoEcRE ssioNAL 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 Guarto
pages The speeches Of the Members, in this first
| FORM are sometime CONFERENCE.-The full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
pEnDrx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedngs, are given in the form of the Journals,

| ton.

| Annual Message. the Reports of the principal
! Officers of the Government thaLaccompany II, and
all Speeches Of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves Ii liz printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pages
during session.
/ During the first month six weeks of q SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers Il week--one of the CONGRESS
sro,,AL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX but DUR

interesting therefore, calculate that the Con-

small type--brever and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
