THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER r1.. r."

fAIEh.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
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 as 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 idel-
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. | compelled to omit,
for want Of room, page of notices which are IN

The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for 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-
GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er 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 aDbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfecuons
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full 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-
stence, 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 rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
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
w.res satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts his 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 galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronlze work winch
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 tn
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, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35OC

The reports for the last long session made 1896

umes, averaging ga royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPEsDm 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 that 1t has been for several years
past.
The DAnY 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 tho
day, and miscellaneous matter The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem.
bers TO see their remarks IT, and alter them ifhey
shall think proper before they published in the
CosGREssIosAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoHGREssioNAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a 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 first
| form, are sometime condensed--the full report OF
| the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar.
| PEHDIx. 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 il made up Of the President
| Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany II, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves IL is printed IN tht
same form as the CoSGREssioSAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during a session.
| During the first month or six weeks Of a SEES
\ sion there is rarely more business done than vii
make two numbers week--one Of the CoNGREs
SIGNAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but dur.
! ing the remainder Of session, there Is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers Of each
every week. The next session will he unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Gov
! eRpssloNAL GioBE and ApPENpIS together will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed IN
small type-brevier and non, ,areil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be mlscarred,
