THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread us
debates before the public The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped wnl
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
history of the proceedings and discussions Of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ne
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLopE
an oftcial character as the reporter of all that AZ
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 the fae
lty with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work. are submitted in proof of its fulness, tair-
ness, and usefulness. l am compelled to omit,
for want ofroom, page of notices which are III
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the teie-
graph their hurried accounts and views of me
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoEAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances &c parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly, In shape more or less abbr--
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectiOns
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official Of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings or
both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers 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 informa-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimm-
ished. The circulation ofthe Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude a.,
diversified accounts which, flying along the electl
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 VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Com
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. 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 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, an
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350C
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 800 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 ses-
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 same that it 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 as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obIec;
for publishing the daily paper is, TO enable Mem.
bers to see their remarks in il, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CONC RES SIGNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssioNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches Of the Members, in this hrs,
form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
PEHpIx All resolutions, motions, and other pru-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton.
The ArrEEpIx is made up Of the Presidents
Annual Message the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany II, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. il is printed in the
same form as the CosGREssIoSAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about tile same number OF pages
during ge3sion.
During the first month or six weeks Of ses-
sion there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers a week-one of the COEGRpS-
SOCIAL GLOBE and one OF the APFENDIx; but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cow
GREssioNAL GLoRE aud APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed ~
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end OF a session.
We will endeayor to print a sufficient number Of
surpluscopes to supply all that may be mscarried,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
WORK, the money paid by them for il will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
the CosGREsaosAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
