THE GLOBE-THE (ONGkESSIOAAL NEWS
PAPER
TRE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations To spread i's
debates before the public The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking II Is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the full
history OF the proceedings and isciissions 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 IN
said and done in the body This sanction has
been voted ut every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties. The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony TO the hdel
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 It's fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are IN
type :,
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-
GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph Of whn,
occurs in Congress superssle, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
winch formerly, IN a shape more or less abbre
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun
try, and press but the official of Congress
publishes the fun 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 admins
the eager appetite ofhe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste OF it's patrOnS perfect nfOrma-
tion Of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
shed. 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 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 a work which
preserves full record Of the dongs 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 quartr 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 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 that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLoBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates 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 publiang the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks IN it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGREssIONAL GLoBE and ArPENpIx.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is madNSs'k Of the
daily pre- ,edings of the two Houses of1Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (hrevier 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 oi
PENDix. All resolutions, motions, and other pro.
ceedings, sre given in the form of the Journals
with the yeas and nays on every important ques:
ton.
The APPENDIX is nade up Of the President. :.
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany 1t, aud
all Speeches Of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL IN printed in the
same form ns the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during ses' ION.
During the first month or six weeks of n SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers u week--one Of the CoNGREs.
sIogAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX but dur.
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con.
GREssioNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brever and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of n session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred
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
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 nun bers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
the CONGRESSIONAL GLoAE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
