PR OS PECTUS
THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER


PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread Tvs
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the rull
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GIosE
an official character the reporter Of all that rs
said and done in the body. This sanction ms
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members Of all parties. The prsss,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the fidel-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at rnn-
dom from the general expression IN favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are IN
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writcrs
for the distant press circulate through the teie-
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-
GREssioHAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parie, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eyact reports taken down hv reporters, ana
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abhve-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
and variety chickering's, take the run of the
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 sx-
isence While, therefore, the telegraph adminlB-
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-Written cpitome
suited to the taste of It's patrons, perfect inforna-
ton of what passes in Congress il greatly dimln-
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 1t Is almost IN VAIN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 70
receive Impressions altogether from gavanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize a work which
preserves a full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations con-
mensurate with the increased Importance of tr,'
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming scs'
sion will probably he extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ul
royal quartz pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 900 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 SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
son 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 it has been for several years
| past.
The DAILY GLoHE will be published during tn,
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t vii
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 tint
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obec
for publishing the daily paper is. to enable Mem
bers to their remarks IN it, and alter them iftheI
shall think proper before they are published in tn,
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up Of tn
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpare,) in quarto form
each number containing sixteen royal querl'
pages The speeches of the Members, in this hrs
| form, are sometime condensed--the full report .
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Az
pENDx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro
ceedngs, 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
Annual Message, the Reports of the principa
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, ant
all Speeches of Members of Congress, writer
out or revised by themselves. II IS printed in tn
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, ant
| usually makes about the same number or page
during session.
| During the first month or six weeks of a Sos
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-One of the CONGREs
SIGNAL GIoBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of eacl
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cow
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together vii
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed II
small type-brevier and noDbare. We furnlsi

We will endeavor to print sufficient number o
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred
very particular to file their papers carefully, 70
