PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
rINiiE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal ofmy proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attcndcd this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable Inc to perpetuate
the full history of the proceedings and diEcussions
of the body on which the destiny OF The Republic
depends.
The adoption of Congress bas given the clone
an official character tho reporter of all that is
said and done in the ho'.y This sanction has been
No'nd az every successive session for many years,
ana py hcihDers oi all parties. The press, too, Of
all parties, has orne testimony TO the fidelity with
which the du' thus confided has been performed.
INC gIea'. celebrity with which the letter writers
ior the dH ant press through the telegraph
tacE hprrled accounts and views of the debates OF
C1nST css, renders more important than ever the
auli and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
VI ODE. The hnSty, and in many instances paTfe,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs in Congress
superscde, for the most part, the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in q
shape less abbreviated, went the rounds
Of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their impcrfections and variety Of coorngs, take
the run OF the country and press but the official
OF Congress ever publishes the iull debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unmutiated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
Tor advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. WhiIe therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eoger appetite OF the
public Tor Congress- news, and meets the neccssi
ties OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpltomc suited to the taste of its patrons
perfect information OF what passes in Congress is
greatly dinn0hed The circulation of the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut off by the
crude and diversified accents which, flying along
thc electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and il i5 al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
9tiii therc are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves
rather than " receive impressions altogether from
There who,
the Fake of the future, willingly patronizea work
witch preserves full record of the doings of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mcnsurate 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 5000
royal quarto pages OF BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes OF near 800 pages each: The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
Guarto pages, and were bound In 4 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 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 superhnc double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and rs 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 see their remarks in 1t, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL g LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonpareii) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.

prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
lnSs, arc given in the form OF the Journals, with
tho yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message the Reports OF the principal Officers
OF the Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. II is printed in the same form
I'd the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF n scssioL
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers n wcek-onc Of { c CosGREssIosAL
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mander Of session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or 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
