THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

nfherto attended TINS undertaking II 10 hopeu VIII
and enable to perpetustr 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 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 ell parties The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the hde
lty with which the duty thus conhfed has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression IN favor or the
work, submitted in proof of lis tullness, uir-
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want OF room, page OF notices which are 10
type.
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter-wrlters
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts aud views OF the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph of what
occurs IN Congress superse1e, for The most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety ofcoorIngs, take the run Of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutaed. 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
ers to the eager appetite ofthe 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 infOra
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut of by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
,tu audi lu,n of N WI m
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men of leisure and thought who
like to see 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 work which
preserves 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 the
duty he has undertaken as 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 quarto pages Of brewer and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 900 pages each.-
The reports for the last long session made 1886
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages EACH
will publish in the ArPEEpIx for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
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 superfne double royal sheet. II will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the
,,I,.
for publishing the daily paper is to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in it, and alter them ifhey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGREGATIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type (brever and nonpareil,) in quario 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 Ar
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 President s
Annual Message. the Reports of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany IT, and
all Speeches Of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed in the
same form us the CONGRESSIONAL GLoRE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during a ses, ion
During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers II week--one of the CONGRESS
sIosAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but DUR
ing the remainder Of session, there, is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers Of eacn
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore; we calculate that the Con-
eaEssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nonpareil We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of a session
We will endeavor to print sufficient number o
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 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.
