THE GLORE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread his
debates before the public. The success which mas
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 GI osE
an official character as the reporter of all thar rs
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 de
ity with which the duty thus con6ded 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, iair
ness, and usefulness. l DIM compelled to omIt,
for want of room, page Of notices which are IN
type
The great CELEBRITY with lsstss <wYitsrs
for the distant press circulate through the tsis-
graph their hurried accounts and views of tho
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 parte, reatons by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the yact reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, In shape moro or less abbrr-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfections
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the full debate with the proceedings Of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-wEitten epitoms
suited to the taste Of its patrons, fleet informu-
ton of what passes in Congress il greatly dimul-
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 it is almost in VAIN
that truth puts his boots to follow. Still there
are a great many men Of leisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to judge for themselves, rather than
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for 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 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 ssa
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35U(
royal quaro pages of BREWER and nonpare 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
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
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
will be the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLoHE will be published during the
session on a superine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main ob,~cI
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in il, and alter them tney
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CoNGRnssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarlo
pages. The speeches Of the Members, in this hrs
form, are sometime conference.-the full report Of
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 quss-
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the President's
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 Of pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one of the CoNGREs-
SIGNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
r. nk,nr nC anh
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cow
oREssioNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surpluscopes to supply all that may be mscarried,
or lost in the mails (; but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully. for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for it will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
the CONGREGATIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
I have few copies Of the back volumes Of the
CoNGREssioNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
As volume bound which it is probable will be
disposed Of soon and when they are, they will
then. no doubt, command at least $40 a volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum-
