PROSPECTUS FOR "rHE GLOBE

PROSPECTUS FOR 'THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal my proposals. and preparations to
spread its debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny Of the Republic
depends.
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 formany ycara,
aud by members of all partics. The press, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus contided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CoNGREssioNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances ca pdrfe,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs IN Congress
supersedc for the most part the exact reports ta
Ken down by reporters, and which formerly, IN
shape moro or lees abbreviated. went the rounds
Of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with oil
their imperfections and variety of colorings take
the run Of the country and press but the official
Of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed no newspaper give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their cxistence While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite Of the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome 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 of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and it is al
most in vain that truth puts on bis boots to follow
Still there are a great many men Of leisure and
thought who like to what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There are others, too, who, for
.h.co of ihe fnt wllllnUlV
which preserves full record OF the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurnte 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 $500
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 pagcs, and were bound IN ! volumes ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
twill publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses
sion which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in 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
sessian on a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
crs, and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is TO enable Members
to their remarks in il, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they arc published in the
CoNeREssIoNAL q LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CosGR EssioSAL GLoBE Ia made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with email
type (brevcr and nonparcil,) IN quarto form, each
number containing eixteen royal quarto pages
TIC speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
sometimes condenscd-thc full report OF The
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArrKN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given IN the iorm OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays ON every important question.
The APFEypIx is made up of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany u, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves IL is printed in the came form
rs tho CoNGREssfoNAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the number of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks of session
there ia rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a weck-onc Of c CoSGREssIoSAL
GLoBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder Of a session there Is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the ,CoSoREssIosAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed IN small type
BREWER and nonparcil Complete Indexes TO both
will be furnished at the end of a session,
/ will cndeavor TO print sufficient number
Of surplus copies supply all that may be miscar
ricd or lost in the mails but subscribers should
DC very particular 10 lc tuclr papers carciuily Tor
fear that should not be able TO supply all the
Lost Numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for IL will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. will
give Subscribers the subscription price for any of
the previous volumes of the CoNGREsEIoSAL GLsHE
