THE CLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PARER

PAPER.
THE approach of Congress calls for the 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 Of the proceedings and discussions Of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
ponds.
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 all parties. The press,
too of all parties has borne testimony to the fdel
ity with which the duty thus confded 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, a page OF notices which are III
TYPED
The great celebrity with which the etter-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 parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, in a shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety of coorngs, take the run of the cOun-
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated. 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 written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect nformn-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimn-
ished. The circulation Of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofeisure and thought who
like to see wtnt is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronze 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 tn,
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, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350G
royal quarto 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 four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.

sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
SION which has not been done heretofore. Al
though 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 GLOBE will be published during the
session on u superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
