THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PlPER

of my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking ii is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuste 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 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 OF the
work, are submitted in proof of It's funess, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page OF notices which are IN
type
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-
oREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er pare, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
winch formerly, In shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run OF the coun-
try, and press but the official OF Congress ever
both Houses unmutated. 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 Tor Congress
news and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect nlorma-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dim'n-
shed The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
w:res satisfies curiosity, and 1t IS almost IN VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
nre great many men otleIsure and thought who
like to see wi at is actually said and done IN Con-
/, ,,ress and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries There others, too, who, for the sake
| of the future, willingly patronize work which
preservesa full record OF the doinSs OF me great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations com
mens,lrate 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 ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, ane
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35O6
rovuI uuaro pages of BREWER and nonparei type
making A volumes of near 900 pages each
The reports for the last long session made 1896
roval ouarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion. which has not been done heretofore Al
though this will increase in no small degree the
EXPENSE Of the publication, the subscription price
wiI he the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. IL Will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
crs and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The man object
for publishing the daily paperis, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks IN 1t, and alter them they
shall think proper before they are puolsheh IN the
GLOBE and APPENDIX
The CoNGREssroNAL GLOBE is made up Of the
Iailv proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) IN qunrto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, IN this first
FORM. are sometime condensed-the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
pENpIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
.eedings 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 Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pages
during SEES ion
During the first month six weeks of ses-
sion there is rarely more business done than Will
make two numbers week-one of the CONGRESS
sIosAI GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX but DUR
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF each
every week The next session VIII be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that tne ION,
cerss1oNAI, GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pnses, printed in
small tvpe-brevier and nonpare. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end OF session
We will endeavor to print sufficient number

or lost in the mails put SUBSCRIBERS Snouid DE
