THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
| PAPER
| The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread Tvs
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the full
history of the proceedings and d discussions of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GIoBE
an 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 fide-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof of its funess, fair
ness, and usefulness | am compelled to omit,

TYPED
The great celebrity with which the letter-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 er parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv 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 mperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run Of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
stence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins

ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
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 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
teres. 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 tn,
duty he has undertaken as 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,
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.
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next
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 that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on u superine double royal sheet. 1t 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 ths
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
bers to see their remarks in it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL 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
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 AP-
pEND,x. 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 a ses
sion, there is rarely more business done than VIII
make two numbers u 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 three numbers OF each
every week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate tnat the CoN.
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together wilt
make at least $500 large quarto Psges, printed IN
small type-brever and nonpareil- We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarried,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
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. Twill give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
will thank any person who will let me have them.
