PROSPECTUS FOR .rHE GLOBE.

PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
snread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t ID
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 kepubhc
The adoption of Congress has given the GLoBx
an official character as the reporter of all that is
said aud done in the body. This sanction has been
voted ut 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 celerity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press crc through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLoYE. The hasty, and in many instances er p0yts,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede for the most part the exact reports ta-
ken down by reporters, and which formerly In q
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with II
their irperfectons and variety Of colorings, take
the run of the country, and press bat the official
of Congress ever publishes the foil 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 Tor Congress news, anu ulocb VIC ucCcesl-
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF its patrons
perfect information of what passes In Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
rcports shas been, to some extent, cut on Dy the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and 1t ID al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Stillthe are great many men OF leisure and
Thought who like 20 sec what is actually said and
done in Congress, and Judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
Ralyanic batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record Of the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensuratc with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken 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 3,oOo
royal quar- to pages Of BREWER and nonparel type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages and were bound in volumes. ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
twill publish in the APPEsDIx for the next scs-
sion all laws that may be passed during the scs-
sion which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price Will be the
Same that il has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates az taken down by the report
ers and as alter ed by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current of the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper ia to enable Members
to see their remark In it, and alter them IL they
shall think proper before they are published In the
