PROSPECTUS
THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER.


The approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals aud preparations to sPread iu
debates before the public. The success which nss
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped val
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the Giosx
official character az the reporter Of all that ~
said and done in the body. This sanctiou mas
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 6ust
ty with which the duty thus con6ded has been
performed. The annexed NOTICES, taken Al rams
dom from ths general expressio{sin favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof Of its fullness. tar

This great celebrity with which the. lsttsr-wtitsrs
for the distant press circulate through the tass-
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-
GREssI0NAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, rel0ions by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part.
the exact reports taken down hv reporters, ana
which formerly, In a shape more ar less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety Of colorings take the run of the coun-
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential TO theF'ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters the eager appetite Ofthe public for Congress-
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-wrltten epitomr
suited to the taste of It's patrons, perfect Informu

diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic brl
teries. There others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronize q work which
preserves full record Of the dOin6s Of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurnte 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 sea
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35U
royal qUarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making 4 volumes Of near 900 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 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 i'm 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 tn.
session II superfne double royal sheet. 1t vii
!, contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as stered by the speakers, whenever they

day, and miscellaneous matter. The main Il sci
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Me.h-
bers their remarks in it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form
each number containing sixteen royal quartz
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this hrs
form, are sometime cOndensed-the full report o
0 the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP
0 rENDIx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro
0 ceedings, are given in the form Of the Journals
{ with the yeas and nays on every important ques
0 ton.
Dl The APPENDIX is made up of the PRESIDENT
D Annual Message, the Reports of the prncipa
Officers Of the Government that accompany 1t, and
} all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t IL printed in the
same form the CONGRESSIONAL GLoDE, and
} usually makes about the same number OF pager
} during session.
During the first month or six weeks of sss
D sion, there ia rarely more business done than vii
make two numbers week-One of the CoNGREs
sIosAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of eacf
4 every week. The next session will be unusually
\ interesting therefore, calculate that the Cow
) aREssioNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together WI
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed II
\ small type-brevier and nonI .arei. We furnlsf
D complete Indexes to both at the end OF session
B We will endeavor to print sufficient number o
surplus copies to supply oil that may be mlscarred

4 fear that we should not be able to supply all tn
q lost numbers.

disposed Of soon and when they are, they will

as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There are IS back volumes.
