THE GLOBE-THE CONCREssIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations TO spread Its
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking 1t 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 de-
ponds.
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. 'Thepress,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the fdel-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression ia favor of the
work, submitted in proof Of IT'S fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. l am compelled TO omit,
for want of room, a page of notices which are IN
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tee-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
cREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety Of colorings, 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 unmutated. 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
lers TO the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities Of the political
press, by furnishing a rapdy-written epitome
A - sx.<n
ton Of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut OFF by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like TO see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and TO Judge for themselves rather than to
receive impressions altogether from galyanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronlze work which
preserves full record of the dolngs 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 ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, ane
the reports will not be comprised IN less than 35Oe
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type
making 4 volumes OF near 900 pages EACH
The REPORTS for the last long session made 1886
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APrEsprx for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
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 DALr GLoBr will be published during the

contain the debates as taken down by the report
err, and sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obiect
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers TO see their remarks it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are published In the
Co.cRIssIoHAL GLoBE and ArPEspx.
The CoreREssioxAL GLoBE rs made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small

pages. The speeches Of the Members, IN this first
FORM are sometime CONFERENCE.-The full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar

ceedines are given in the form Of the Journals,
with the yens and nays on every important ques-
tion.
