THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER

IAIEh ! 4
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread lis
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it 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 fide
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, aie submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. ! compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are IN
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
grapi their hurried accounts and views of the
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 er parle, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds of the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety ofcolorIngs, take the run of the coun-
try and no press but the official of Congress ever
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 ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect informa-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dmin-
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 il is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are a great many men ofleisure and thought who
like TO see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and te Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
| of the future, willingly patronlze a work which
preserves 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 the
! duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
| OF both Houses Of Congress. The coming SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil 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
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto. pages each.
! will publish in the APrsSpIE 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
will be the same that il has been for several years
past.

session on a superfne double royal sheet. IL will

ers and as sltered 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 see their remarks in IT, and alter them fthey
shall think proper bsforeih published in the
CosGREssIoSAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
| The CoNeRIssioNAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
aud printed on double royal paper, with small
TYPE, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quario form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches Of the Members, in this first
| form, are sometime conference.-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
PENDIx. All resolutions, motions, ana 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 9
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany It, and
all Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form the CoNeREssiosAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during a session,
During the first month or six weeks of a ses-
sion, there is ra9y more business done than will
make two numbers a week-one of the CoscREs-
sioxAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers Of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cow
GREssIoNAL GLosE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type--brever and noDpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried
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.
IL 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 CoseREssoNAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who viii let me have them.
