PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER
TNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread it's debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it 10
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
depends
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter of all that ia
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 tessnpny to the fidelity with
which the duty thus conided has beer performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
Tor the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
fall and tofticial reports ofthe CoNaREssioNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instanc &c parte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
pupersede, for the most part, the exactreports ia
zen down by reporters, and which formerly, in
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with nil
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and variety of colorings, take
the run OF the country, and no press but the official
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, 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 necessi-
tics Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste of its patrons
perfect Information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut off by het
crude and diversified accounts Which, flying along
che electric wires, satsles curiosity, and it is al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
Still there are great many men of leisure and
thought who like to see what Is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
gavanic 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
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 quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in 4 volumes, ave-
raging s74 royal qunrto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscription price will be the

crs, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the day,

publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to see their remarks in 1t, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL G LoBE and APPENDIX.
