PROSPECTUS FOR "rHE GLOBE

TIME APPROACH OF CONGRfISS caiis LOT the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations 10

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 dcstiny of the Republic
depends.
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 hdety with
which tho duty thus conhded 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 oi
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CoNaREssiONAL
GLOBE The hasty and in many instances er parts,
relations by tclegra ph of what occurs In Congress
auperscde for the most part, the exact reports tn
ken down by reporters, and which iormeriy, IN 2
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their inperfections and variety OF colorings take
the Of the country, and no press but the oncia
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutiiated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence While, therefore, the
elegra oh admin isters the eager appetite Of the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessl
ties of the political press, BY furnishing rapidly
written cpitome 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, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity ana 10 al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
Still there great many men Of LEISURE and
thought who like to what is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
galvanic batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronlzea work
which preserves full record Of the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mcnsurate 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 3,oOo
royal quarto pages OF brewer 1 and nonparel 'yRe,
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 97a royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next sea-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no 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
session on a superfne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
TO sec their remarks in is, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CoNsREssIoNAL G LOBE and Appendix
The CoN0R EssIoNAL GLOBE is made up oil the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparc, in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first for IN,

The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents An
pual Message, the Reports OF the principal Oiicers
of tho Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written out or

about the same number Of pages during session.
During the nrst month or six weeks oil scssioL
there is rarely more business done th2n VIII make
two numbers q week-onc OF eCoNoREsstoSAL
CLoss and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
Inainder Of n session there is usually SUFFICIENT
matter for two or three numbers oil each every
week The next session will be unusually interest

GLoBK and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages printed IN small type
