THE GLOBR-THE CONGREsIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals. and preparations to spread It's
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 tho destiny of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLosE
an official character the reporter Of all that
said and done in the body This sanction 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 fact
lty with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at RAN
dom from the general expression in favor Of tue
work, are submitted in proof Of its funess, falr-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,

The great celebrity with which the letter-wrters
for the distant press circulate through the tsie-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever tho full and exact official reports Of the Con-
oREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the esnct reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape more or less abbrs-
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun
try and no press but the official Of Congress
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 their ex
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 a rapdly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect infornu
ton Of what passes in Congress is greatly dimln-
ished. The circulation of the official reports mas
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 VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too. who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preservesa full record Of the dongs 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 $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonparei type
making 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 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 GLonE will be published during the
session on superAne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and sltsrsd 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 Mem.
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them ftneY
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNcREssioNAL 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 quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this hrst
form, are sometime conference.-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
rENDx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, 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 President q
AnNual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of tho Government that accompany it, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t il printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during session,
During tho first month or six weeks of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done thap will
make two numbers weck--one of the CONGRks-
sIoHAL GLoYK and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur

sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
oREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nonLareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of a session,
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may hs mscarried,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular Ia fs their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not DO 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.
