PR OSPECTUS
THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER


The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuats the full
history of the proceedings and discussions OF the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLosE
an official character the reporter Of all thar
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 fdei
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from tho general expression in favor Of the
work, are submitted in proof of its fullness, faIr-
ness. and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,

The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the teic-
graph their hurried accounts and views Of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports Of the Cox
eREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances en- parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the ess act reports taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly, in a shape more or less abhre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfections
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
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 epitoune
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect nformu
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimu,-
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 II is almost IN VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what il actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than
receive Impressions altogether from gnlvanic 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 as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming seq
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35U(
royal quarto pages of brewer and nonpare 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 SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the sss-
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 DAuy GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will

ers, and sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obI-ct
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem.
bers their remarks in it, and alter them ftney
shall think proper before they published in
CoNcREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLonE 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 quarIo
pages. The speeches Of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime conference.-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ap
rENprx. 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 fOrms 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 will
make Two numbers week--One of the CONGRESS
sIosAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of each
weak The next SpeaOn will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nonpareIl. We furnish
complete Indexes 10 both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number of
surplus copies supply all that may be miscarricd
or lost in the mails; but subscribers should he
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 1t 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 CoNGREasIoNAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
