TIRE CLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

FAfEk.
THE approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations TO spread ils
debates before the public The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped wnl
continue, and enable to perpetuate the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ne
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLoBE
an official character the reporter of all that
said and done in the body. This sanction
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 fiael
ity with which the duty thus eonhded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at
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-wrters
for the distant press circulate through III teie-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports Of the Cow
GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte relations by telegraph of what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eS act reports taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly, IN a shape more or less abhre-
Waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now
telegraph accounts, with all their lmperfections
and variety chickering's take the run of the
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutiated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their
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 rapidIy-written eptome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect lnforma-
lion of what passes IN Congress is greatly dimtn-
lshed. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude ana
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in
that truth puts on his boots TO follow. Still there
are "a great many men of leisure and thought VINO
like to see wi is actually said and done In Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from galvanlc bat
teries. There others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves a 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 TN
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ul
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonparell 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 vo'-
umes averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the
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 a superine double royal sheet. 1t viii
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
| make any alteratIonsi the current news of the
! day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obleci
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in 1t, and alter them itneY
shall think proper before they published in the
| CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daiIv proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
| type, (brevier and nonparel,) 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 or
| the prepared speeches being reserved for the hP-
! pENpIx 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 by themselves. 1t is printed In the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
| usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
| During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than Will
make two numbers Il week--one of the CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but dur
| ing the remainder OF a 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-,
| GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together VIII
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
| small type-brevier and nonparell. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
| we will endeavor to prnt.a sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarrled,
! 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 1t will be re-
| funded to them whenever they return the numbers
| which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
| the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
| have few copies of the back volumes of the
| CovGREssroNAI GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
IS volume bound, which it is probable will be
| disposed Of soon and when they are, they VIII
then, no doubt, command at least $40 volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
| There are 25 back volumes.
