THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER

OF my proposals ana preparations 10 Spreau Tvs
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuete the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character as 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 fidel
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, submitted in proof of its fullness, 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 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 parfe, relations by telegraph OF what
| occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eyact 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 coIorings, take the of the
try, and no press but the official of Congress
| publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
| both Houses unmutlated 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
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
| news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly -wrtten eptome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect nforma
lion of what passes in Congress IL greatly dimln-
ished. The circulation of the Official reports has
| been to some extent, cut off by the crude and

w.res, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
| that truth puts on his boots to follow Still there

like to see wi is actually said and done in Con-
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
| receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat

of the future, willingly ratronize work which
preserves full record of the doings of the gre Is
| 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
oval quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 300 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 ArPEspIx for the next SEES
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 superfine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and sltered by the speakers, whenever they
| make any alterations; the current news Of the
dav, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
| for publishing the daily paper 49, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks IN it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
| CoNGRE ssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREs sIoNAL GLOBE is made up of the
| daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress
| and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type (breyisr and nonpareil,) in quaro 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-
pENDrx. 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 Presidents
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 bv themselves. Ii is printed IN the
| same form is the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
! usually makes about the same numHr or pages
| during SEES ION.
| During the first month or six weeks Of a SEES
sion there is rarely more business done than will
| make two numbers week--one of the CoNGREs-
| SOCIAL 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 Con-
cREssioNAL GLcBE and Appendix together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
| small type-brevIer aud norpareii. W e furnish
