THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.

IHE approach OF congress Calls lOf the reneWaI
of my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before the public The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuete 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
official character as the reporter of all that il
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 hde-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression IN favor or the
work, submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are i'll
type
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
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-
GREssroNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations oy telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
winch formerly, In a shape more or less abbre-
Waited went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety OF colorings, take the run of the cOun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
both Houses unmWlilated. 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 the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing u rapidly-written cpitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informu
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

that truth puts on his boots to follow Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see what actually said and done IN Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from gavanIc bat
of the future, willingly patronlze work which
preserves full record of the dongs of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance Of thu
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, anc
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of brewer and nonparel type
making volumes of near 900 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal uuarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes averaging 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 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 DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superine double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates MS taken down by the report
crs, and sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
oil hp in obi
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks IN it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress.
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpare,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches Of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
pENpIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedines, 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 form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than VIII
make two numbers week-one of the CONGRESS
sroEAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX but dur
ing The remainder Of session, there Is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers OF each
every week The next session VIII oe unusually

GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX tose'ner VIII

complete Indexes TO both at the end OF a session.
WE will endeavor to print sufficient number

very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.

unded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
