PROSPECTUS FOR ..rHE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vyyHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
snread its debates 9 before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking III 10
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuatc
the full history OF the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny OF the hepuohc
depends.
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
and by members of all parties. The press, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CoFaREssIoNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances e1 pdTH'
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supersedc for the most part, the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the preas. Now the telegraph accounts, with All
their inperfections and variety Of colorings take
the run Of the country and no press but the ocial
of Congrcss ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutiiated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessl' :
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF its patrons
perfect information Of what passes In Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cuI on py INC
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity ana IT IS al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots 70 'oow
Still there a great many men oil leisure ano
thought who like to see what is sactually said and
done in Congress, and TO judge for themselves
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
9alvanic batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake Of the future willingly % 9hc
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensuratc 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 session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised IN less man S,ooo
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparel type,
making volumes Of near 600 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
1wi7l publish in the APPENpIx for the next sea-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses
siop, which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense Of
the publication, the subscription price VIII De inc
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY G. LOBE will be published during the
session on a superhne double royal sheet. II VIII
contain the debates az taken down Dy the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the DAY,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper is TO enable Members
10 their remarks In it, and alter tncIn II tney
shall think proper before they are published In the
CoNoREssIoNAL G LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoseR EssIoNAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
type, (brevier and nonparci) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members, in this first for /,
are sometimes condcnsed-the full report oil the
DIX All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
iugs, are given in the form OF the JOURNALS witn
the yeas and nays every important question
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports OF the princlpai Oncera
OF the Government that accompany II. and all
Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written out or
revised Themselves II is printed in the same form
as the CoSoREssIoSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the sa me number of pal gcs doring a session.
During the first month or elk weeks oil scssloL
there lie rarely more business done to2n VIII make
two numbers a week-onc OF CoNoREssioSAL
GLosE and one OF the Appendix but during the re-
mn,ndcr of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CosonEssIosAL
GLoBs and APPENDIX together will make al least
3 500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparci. Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end OF session.
