PROSPECTUS FOR "rHE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER. |
THE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the |
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpctuate
the full history fthe proceedings and discussions

depends pen aso,,;o, Of Cameras. h,. av.n
an official character as the reporter OF all that ia
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many years,
aud by members of all parties. The press, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many insta noes parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and variety OF colorings, take
the of the country, and no press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their xistence While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
written eptome suited to 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 OH BY het
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and it is al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
st there great many men o anS
done in Congress, and ojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There are 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
mensurate with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken as 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
reports will not be comprised In less than 3,ooo
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making / volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next scs-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which haspot 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
session on a super6ne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates rs 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
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNaREssloNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX 90

The APPENDIX 10 made up of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Otcers

Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the same form

about the same number of pages during a session.
