THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.


of my proposals and preparations TO spread i's
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended tins undertaking IL Is hoped VIII
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the full
history of the proceedings and d discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de
pends.
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 hdel
ty 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 fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are III
type.
The great celebrity with which the letter-wrters
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress. renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parfe, 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 lees abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety OF ooringa take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutated. 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
to the eager appetite ofthe puB.c for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect lnforma-
ton of what passes in Congress il greatly dimin-
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 great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see what in actually said and done in Con-
| gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teres. There are others, too, who, for the sake
| of the future, willing y patronize a work which
preserv es 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 ses.
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

| will publish in the APPENDIX 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 price
will be the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on u superfine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as slered 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 their remarks in it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE end APPENDIX
The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE is made,.p of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses ofCongress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonpareiI0 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-
pENDlx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays every important ques-
| lion.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents 3
| Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany 1t, and
| all Speeches of Members of Congress-, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t Is printed In the
same form the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
| usually makes about the same number OF pages
| during a ion.
| During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion there is rarely more business done than will
| make two numbers week--one of the CONGRESS
| sIonAL 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 Cow

small type--brevier and nonparell. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
