PROSPECTUS FOR ..rHE GLOBE"

PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
THE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking ii is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history 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 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 fidelity with
which the duty thus con6ded has been performed.
T. The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and official reports ofthe CosaR rssioNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances I parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part, the exact reportsta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety Of colorings take
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unmutiiated In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
tor adyertisenents and the pscs ; matter
telegraph administers to the eager appetite of the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties OF the political press, BY furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited 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 of BY het
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and It is al
most In vain that truth puts on 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
galvanic 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.
duty he has undertaken 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
royal quart to pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 900 pages each The
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
i will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
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
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers. and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNaa EssIoHAL GLOBE and APPENDIx.
The CoNGR RssIoNAL GLOBE ia made up of the |
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small |
type, (brevier and nonpareii in quarto form, each
The speeches of the Members, in this fret form, |
are sometimes conference.-the full report of the |
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN |
DIX All resolutions, motions, and other proceed !
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX 10 made up of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
Of the Government that accompany it, and all |
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or |

about the same number of pages during session. |
During the fret month or six weeks of session |
there il rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-one of tie CONGRESSIONAL |
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder of session there is usually sufficient |
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; thereforeI calculate that the CoNaR EssIoNAL
GLosE and APPRRDIx together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small typo
BREWER and nonpareif. Complete Indexes to both |
will be furnished at the end of session.
