PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"

PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TINE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
renewal my proposals and preparations to
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny Of the Republic
depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
IN 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 fidelity with
which the duty thus contided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant 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 CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many nsa noes cI parte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety of colorings take
the run of the country, and no press but the official
Of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence While, therefore, the
tele phi administers to the eager appetite of the
public for Congress news, and meets the neccssi.
ties Of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF its patrons
perfect informatio of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation Of the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by het
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and it Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Still there a great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There are others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record of the doings of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
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 session
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 4 volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in q volumes, ave-
raging 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. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY G LOBE will be published during the
session a superhne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APP ENDIx.
The CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE ia made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on O double royal paper, with email
type, (brevier and nonpare, in quarto form, each
number royal 1a1ao
are sometimes conference.-the full report Of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents An.
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Officer.
Speeches of Members Of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t s printed in the came form
as the Conc REssioNAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during u session.
During the first month or six weeks Of a session
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one Of c CoNaR EssloNAL
GLOBE and one of tho appendix but during Their
malnder 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 l calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareif. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end of session.
/ will endeavor to print a sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar
ried, lost in the mails; but subscribers should
be very particular to file their papers carefully, for
tear that should not De aple 10 supply az 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 numbers
which may have been received by them. / will
give subscribers the subscription price for any OF
the previous volumes of the CoSaR EssIoNAL GLOBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
