THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

OF my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before the public. The success which has
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 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 del-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work. are submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. l am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which in
typea
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
Cor the distant press circulate through the tele-
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-
aREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, 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 chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rnpidly-written epitome
suited the taste of its patrons, perfect infOrma
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
shed. 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 it is almost in vain
that truth puts on hig boots to follow. Still there
are great many men oflesure and thought who
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves full record of the doings 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 az 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 be comprised in less than $500
royal auarto pages of BREWER and nonparei 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 eacn.
| 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 in small degree the
expense Of the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DA,ly GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the
day, and miscellaneous matter The man Object

pages The speeches Of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF

Officers of the Government that accompany IL, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GroBE, ana
