THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
THE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread ils
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it s 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 0e-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLosE
an official character the reporter Of all that
| said and done in the body. This sanction mas
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 oel-
ity with which the duty thus confided has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, are submitted in proof Of ito fulness, tair-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit.
Tor want OF room, page of notices which are nj
type,
for the distant press circulate through the tsis-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important thar
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cow
aREssIoNAL 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 hv reporters, ana
which formerly, IN shape more Or less abhrr-
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
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed no newspaper
| can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their
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 rapidly-written epitoms
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informu
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimul-
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 1t is almost in VAR
that truth puts his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men flesure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con
gress, and to Judge for themselves rather than "a
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic 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 tn
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming seq
| sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35OG
| royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil 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 each
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next scs-
| sion all laws that may be passed during the srs-
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 he the same that it has been for several years
| past.
| The DAILY GLOK will be published during the
session on,a super6ne double royal sheet. 1t will
! contain the debates as taken down by the report
ems, and sltered by the speakers, whenever the,
make any alterations, the current news of I'll,
for publishing the daily paper is, TO enable Mem
bers to their remarks in 1t, and alter them ftney
shall think proper before they published in the
| CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
| The CoNGREssloNAL 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 -nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarlo
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this hrs,
| form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
| PENDIx. 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 President Is
Ans,ua Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany IT, and
all Speeches Of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pnges
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks of sea-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-One of the CONGREs-
sIoHAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
r. A.
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, calculate that the CoK-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed III
small type-brevier and nonLareil. 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 miscarred,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully. for
fear that we 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 it will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
