THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
t l PAPER ahs


PAPER. sa@
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread lis
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it 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 as 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. The press,
too of all parties has borne testimony to the hdel-
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, are submitted in proof of its funess, fair
ness, and usefulness. l am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are IN
TYPED
The great celebrity with which the Underwriters
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-
OCCASIONAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eyact reports taken down bv reporters, and
winch formerly, In a shape more or less abbre-
viated, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety OF coorngs, take the run of the coun-
try and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilaied. 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
to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities OF the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome
suited to The taste of its patrons, perfect informa-
ton Of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished The circulation ofthe Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires satisfies curiosity, and il is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots TO follow. Still there
are a great many men OF ieisure und tnougnt 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 gaivanic bat
teries There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future willingly patronlze work which
preserves a full record Of the doings 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 ana
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 J5Oe
royal quarto pages OF brewer and nonpareil type
making 4 volumes Of near 800 pages each
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound IN -FOUR vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
I 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 il has been for several years
past.
