THE GLOBE-THR CONGRESSIONAL NEW

THE CLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals and preparations to spread l.s
debates before the public The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuatc the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic oe-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLopE
an official character the reporter of all that
said and done in the body. This sanction mas
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties The preas,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the haei
ity with which the duty thus con6ded 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 fullness, tar-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want Of room, page of notices which an
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-wrten
for the distant press circulats through the tsis-
graph their hurried accounts and views OF the
debates OF Congress-, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Con-
aREssioNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress superBede, for the most part,
the esact reports taken down by reporters, ana
which formerly, In a shape more or less abhts-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectiOnB
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 of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaDer
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their sx-
stence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers the eager appetite oftbe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly written epitone
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect nformu-
ton Of what'pasaes in Congress is greatly dimlI-
ished. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude ana
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in VAIN
that truth puts on hs boots to follow. Still there
| are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 70
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bar
teries. There others, too, wh0 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 SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35W
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 SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase in no small degree tine
expense OF the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
| past.
The DAILY GLour will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main ob'ec'
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them ftney
shall think proper before they Published in the
CoNGREssloNAL 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
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarlo
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'
pENDIx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro,
ceedngs, are given in the form of the Journals
with the yeas and nays on every important quss'
| ton.
| The APPENDIX is made up of the President q
| 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 1t is printed IN 'ss
same form the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF PAGES
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of sss-
sion there is rarely more business done than Will
| make two numbers u Week-One of the CONGRks-
SIGNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
! ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
| tEcio att three numbers OF eaCn
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
cnEss,oNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartp pages, printed II,
small type-brevier and nOnpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
| We will endeavor to print a sufficient number OF
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred,
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 it 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 CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
| have few copies of the back volumes OF the
| CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
As a volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed Of soon and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There are 25 back volumes.
