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 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 hde-
ity with which the duty thus con6ded 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 fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. l am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page Of notices which are IN
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
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-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er pate, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety ofcolorings take the run of the coun-
try and no press but the official Of Congress ever
both Houses unmutilated. 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 to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities OF the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written epItome
suited to the taste Of its patrons perfect nforma-
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
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires satisfies curiosity, and il il almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots TO follow. Still thers
are great many men Of leisure and thought who
like TO see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress and TO Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, Tor the sake
of the future willingly patronize work which
preserves 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 importnncs OF IN,
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses Of Congress. The coming sess
sion will probably be extended nine months, ane
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonPareh type
making 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.
will publish in the APPENpIx 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.
The DAnY GLoBE will be published during the
seHsiou on a superfne double royal sheet IL will
contain the debates as taken down BY the report
ers, and as stered by the speakers, Whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF ths
dav and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, TO enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in IT, and alter them fthsy
shall think proper before they are publlshed in the
CoxeREssroHAL GLoBE and APrEsDIx.
