The GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER
The approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals and preparations to spread its
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 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 del
ty 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 are in
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-wrters
for the distant press circulate through the tee-
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 by reporters, and
which formerly, IN a 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 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
a n q nar infn
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
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
| are great many men of leisure 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 gavanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
preservesa 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 ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, an,
the reports will not be comprised in less than $50,
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 pages, and were bound in four vol.
umes, averaging ga royal quarto pages each.
| will publish in the APPEsDix for the next SEES
sion af laws that may be passed during the ses-
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 Il has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet IL will
contain the debates as taken down by the report.
ers, and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of tho
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obiec
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem.
bers to their remarks in IL, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CoseREssIosAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The CoSeREssiosAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress-
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpsreil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches OF the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condenssd-the full report OF
the prepared speeches beinsrfeserved for the Ar-
PESDIx. 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 is made up Of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany It, and
out or revised by themselves. IL is printed in the
same form as the CoseREssiosAL 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 rarely more business done than will
make two numbers a week--one of the CoNeREs-
sIoSAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but DUR
ing the remainder Of session, there 10 usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
therefore, we calculate that the Cow
eREssiosAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nonpareil. 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 miscarred,
,r lost in the mails but subscribers should be
,ery particular to file their papers carefully, for
ear that we should not be able to supply all the
ost numbers.
II subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work., the money paid by them for il will be re-
unded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
he subscription price for any previous volumes of
he CoNeREssioNAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX and
will thank any person who will let me have them
have few copies Of the back volumes Of the
GLoBE and APPENDIX for sale at
5 volume bound, which il is probable will be
disposed OF soon and when they are, they will
hen, no doubt, command at least $40 a volume,
s they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There are IS back volumes.
