THE GL0BE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

PAPER
Tue approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals. and preparations TO spread lss
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking ii 10 hoped wn
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the ru
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GIoDE
an official character as the reporter of all tina; as
said and done IN the body. This sanction mas
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties The prels,
too, of all parties has borne testimony TO the hde
ity with which the duty thus conhded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, are submitted in proof of its fullness, ialr
ness, aud usefulness. | am compelled TO omit,
for want OF room, page of notices which are III
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the eie-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates of Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Con-
eREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parie relations by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, ana
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofhe 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 dimln-
ished The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude
diversified accounts which, flying along the electro
wires, satisfies curiosity, and il is almost in var
that truth puts on hs boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofeisure and thought wnC
like to see what is actually said and done IN Con
gress, and TO Judge for themselves, rather than u
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preservesa 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 and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming seq
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpare type
making a volumes of near 900 pages each =
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quurto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
son which has not been done heretofore. AL
though this will increase in no small degree tnt
expense Of the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAuY GLOBE will be published during tn
session on n superhne double royal sheet. Ii vii
| contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as sltered by the speakers, whenever the
make any alterations; the current news of tn
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main ob,ec
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable M EN-
bers to see their remarks it, and alter them fthe'
shall think proper before they are published in tn
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up Of tn
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress
and printed on double royal paper, with sinai
type, (brever and nonpare,) in quarto form
each number containing sixteen royal quartz
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this hrs
| form, are sometime condensed--the full report o
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
pENDIx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro
ceedings, 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 President
Annual Message, the Reports of the principa
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, am
all Speeches of Members of Congress, writer
out or revised by themselves. 1t ID printed in tn
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, ant
usually makes about the same number OF pag-l
during session.
During the first month or six weekg Of sos
sion there is rarely more business done than WI
make two numbers Il week--one of the CoNCREs
siogAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder of session, there 10 usuaii,
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF eaci
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Gov
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIx together vii
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed II
small type--brevier and nonparell. We furnIei
complete Indexes to both at the end Of u session
We will endeavor to print sufficient number o.
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarried

fear that we should not be able to supply all the
