PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE,

PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TINE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals. and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny of the Republic
depends. XII .....t. l..I&
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
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 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 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 ofthc CosGnEssIoNAL
GLoBE. The hasty and in many instances r pdrte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reportst Ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
their imperfections and variety Of coorings, take
the of the country, and press but the official
of Congress 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 necessi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome 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, cut off by het
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and 1t al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There are others, too, who, for

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 quar- to pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes OF near 900 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.

. The Conc q EssIONAL GLOBE Is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brcvier and nonpare, in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes conference.-the full report Of the

ings, given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question:
" The APPENDIX ia made up OF the fresldents AN.
nual Messag the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t ia printed in the same form
as the Conc REssioNAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session
During the first month or six weeks OF session
there is rarely more business done than Will make
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
ma,nder of a session there is usually suhclent
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNGR EssIoNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end OF a session.
q. l will endeavor to print sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply oil that may be miscar
ried or lost in the mails; but subscribers should
be particular to hle their papers carefully, LOT
fear that should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers. -, II,
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 CoNaR EssIoNAL GLOBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
have a few copies of the back volumes OF the
Conc EssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
AS a volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed of soon; and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least 8 10 a volume,
as thew cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
