THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
ENHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
Il 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
depends;
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus conlded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
Tor the distant through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates of
congress, renders more important than ever the
iu!i and exact official reports ithe
GLoIE. The hasty, and in many instanceser parts,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part, the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfectons and variety of colorngs, take
the run of the country, and press but the official
OIL Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutated. IN
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essentialto their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite of the
publc Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties ot 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 the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and it is al
| most in vain that puts on his boots to follow.
sun there are great many men OF leisure and
| thought who like to 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
tue sake Of the future, willingly paronize work
great moving and controlling power Of the Re-
public.
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 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 volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses
| 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 it has been Tor several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to their remarks in it, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE 10 made up oil the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
AID printed on double royal paper, with small
type (brevcr and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, In this first form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report of the
prepared speeches being reserved Tor the APPEN-
DIX. Ill resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The Appendix is made upof the Presidents An
nua Message, the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany 1t, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. II ia printed in the same form
as the CosGREssioSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during a session.
During the rs or SIX d weeks hs Of w Tess,G
two numbers week-one of CONGRESSIONAL
g LOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
maInder of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
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.
