PROSPECTUS OF THE
CONG KsESSEO MAI. GLOBE.


my proposals and preparations spread its debates
before the public The success which has hitherto
tended this undertaking it is hoped will continue, and
enable perpetuate the full history of the procee
dlngs and decisions OF the body which the destiny
fof the republic depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the Globe an
official character the reporter OF all that is said and
done in tie body. This sa1ction has been voted at
every successive session for many years. and by
bers of all parties. The press too, of all parties has
borne testimony to the fidelity with which the duty thus
conhdedshas been performed.
The great CELEBRITY with which the leterwfiters for
the distant press circulate through the Telegraph their
hurried accounts and views of the debates of Congress
renders important than ever, the full and exact
official reports of the Congressional Globe. The has
ty-and in many instances parte-relations by Tel
egraph of what in Congress supersede, for the
most part the exact reports taken down by the repor
tiers, and which formerly, in shape less abb
breviated, went the rounds of the press. Now the
Telegraph accounts with all their imperectons and
variety of coorng, 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. Indeed, no newspaper can give them
and have for advertisements and the miscelane
Gus matter essential to their existence While there
fore, the Telegraph administers to the eager appetite
OF the public for Congress news and meets the neces
sites of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited the of its patrons
feet information of what passes in Compress, great
ly diminished The circulation of the official reports
have been, to extent, cat off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfy curiosity and it is almost in vain that
Truth puts its boots to follow. Still there
great many men of leisure and thought who like to
see what actually said and done in Congress- and to
Judge for themselves rather than to receive impress
sions altogether from galvanic batteries. There
Others too, who for the sake of the future willingly
patronize work which preserves full record of the
uoings OF the great moving and controlling power of
the republic.
The undersigned has made preparations conlmensu-
of Ia he "A
undertaken the only reporter and publisher of the
complete debates and proceedings of both houses of
Congress. The coming session will probably be ex-
tended nine months, and the reports will not be
prsed in less than $500 royal quarto pages of BREWER
; and nonpare type, making four volumes of 900
pages each. The reports for the last long session
made 1896 royal quarto pages, and were bound IN
four volumes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.
| will publish in the Appendix for the next session,
all laws that may be passed during the session. which
has not been done heretofore. Although this viii in
crease in small degree the expences of the publ
cation 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 superfne double royal sheet. It will contain the
debates taken down by the reporters and altered
by the speakers, whenever they make alterations
the current news of the day, and miscellaneous matter
The main object for publishing the daily paper is to
L enable members their remarks in it and alter
IL them if they shall think proper before they pub
lished in the Congressional Globe and Appendix.
