PROSPECTUS FOH ssrEIE GLOBE"
- THE coHGR EssioNAL NEWSPAPER.
rJNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
q l. renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread it's debates before the puhlbc Inc succcss
which has hitherto attended this undertaking itis
hoped will continue, and enable me 10 perpetuate
the full history ofthc proceedings and dscussions
of the body on which the destiny of the Republic
depends. J9n aHt
official character as The reporter oi an 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. The Press, too, Of
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important thah ever tne
full and exact official reports oithe CONGRESSIONAL
CLONE. The hasty, and in many Instances er pdrts,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supcrsede, for the most part the exact reports Ia
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfcctions and variety OF colorlngs take
the Of the country, and no press but the omcia
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutllated. In
decd, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the neccssl-
ties of the political press by furnishing rapidly
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL Dy. the
crude and diversified accounts whicn' hying aiong
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and 1t 1s al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots TO ioilow
Still there are great many men OF leisure ana
thought who like to see what IS actually SAID and
done in Congress- and ojudge for themselves
rather than TO receive impressions altogether from
ealvanic batteries There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record OF the ooings OF 1he
great moving and controlling power OF the Re.
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate 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 500
ROYAL quar- to pages Of brewer and nonpareil type
nlaking volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN Volumes ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next scs-
sion all fave that may be passed during the ses-
sion which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that il has been for several years past
The DAILY GLoBE will be published during the
session on superfine double royal sheet. IL VIII

ers, 4nd altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the Day

Publishing the daily papor is to enable Members
TO see their remar ks in it, and alter them u they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CoSGa KssIoEAi g LOSS and APPENDIX.
The CoNG EssIoNAL GLoBf ls 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 qoArto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quareo pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this hrst form,
are sometimes condcnsed-the foN report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArPEs-
DIX All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, given in the form OF the Journals, win
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX ia made up OF the Preeidents An
nual Meesa ge the Reports of the principal Ohcers
Of the Government that accompany ~, ano All
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves IL is printed in the same form
as the CoNe kssIoHAL GLOBE, and usually nakes
about the same number of pages during session
During the first month or SIX weeks oil scseloL
there IN rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-one OF Z e CoseREssIosAL
GLoss and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder OF a session there is usually sufhcient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNoREssrosAL
GLosE and APPENDIX together Will make al least
3. 800 largo quarto pages, printed IN small type-
BREWER and nonparcii. Complete Indexes to both
will be Furnished at the end OF a session.
I will cndeavor to print sufhoient number
Of surplus copies TO supply all that may be miscar-
ried or lost in the mails; but eubscrbers should
bc very particular TO file their papers carefully, for
fear that should not be able TO supply all the
lUst numbers. it
If subscribers shall not be Satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for ii will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them, will
give subscribers the subscription price Tor any OF
the previous volumes Of the CosG GHrssIosAL CLoBg
or the APPkspIx, except Tor the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
