THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
VNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal Of my proposals and preparations TO
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped VIII continue, ard enable me to pcrpotuate
the full history OF the proceedings and discussions
OF the body ON which the destiny of the Republic
depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an Official character as the reporter of all that is
oald and done in the body. This sanction has been
'cted 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 celerty with which the letter writer's
ior the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates of
congress, renders more important than the
full and exact official reports Of the
GLoBE The hasty, and in many instanc es er parte
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supersede for the most part, the exact reports ia
Ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts with all
their imperfections and variety of colorings take
the run of the country and press but the official
ot Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unmutilated In
deed, no newspaper czn give them, and have room
Tor Advertisements and Che miscellaneous matter
essential to thep existence While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the pecessi.
tics OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpitome suited to the taste of its patrons
periect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation Of the official
re ports has been, to some extent cut off by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and it is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are great many men of leisure and
thought who like to what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There others, too. who for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record of the doings of the
great moving and controlling power of the Re.
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurae with the increased importance of the
duty he has undertaken 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 quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in Volumes ave-
raging 974 roya. quarto pages each.
Will pubbsh in the APPENDIX for the next
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Although
this wi.i increase in small degree the expense of
inc 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 a supertinc double royal sheet. Il will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and 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 10 enable Members
TO see their remarks in IT, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLoBK and APPENDIX.
The CoNeREssIoSAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper with small
type, (brevicr and nonpareil in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.

prepared speeches being reserved for the APPES-

ihe yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX IL made up OF the Presidents An.
hual Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
OF The Government that accompany IL, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or |
revised themselves. Ii is printed in the form
as the CosoREssIoSAL GLOBE, and usually makes |
about the came number of pages during session.
During the iirst month six weeks of a session |
there is rarely more business done than will make
TWO numbers weok-onc OF { CosGREssiosAL |
LoBk and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
halhder OF session there is usually sufficient |
ihhttcr Tor two or three numbers OF each every |

OLoBE and AP PEsDIx together will make at least |
