PR OSPECTUS
, THE GLoBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
, The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread Tvs
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
i 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, submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled TO omit,
for want OF room, a page of notices which are in
TYPED I,
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
1
! the eyact reports taken down bv reporters, and
wHich formerly, IN 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
publishes the fun 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-
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 rapidy-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect nforma
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, TO some extent, cut of by the crude and
diversified accounts which. flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and II 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 10 Con-
gress, and to judge for themselves rather than TO
receive impressions altogether from gslvanic bat
teries There are others. fnn whn, fa- the sake
Of the future, willingly patronlze work which
preserves full record Of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power Of the Republic.
i The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance OF tn
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
pubiish.r OF IN. eomplete debates and proceedings
Il OF both Houses Of Congress. The coming ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, ane
the reports will not be comprised IN less than 35Oe
i royal qUarto pages Of BREWER and nonparei type
| making volumes of near 800 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 APrEspIx for the next SEES
sion all 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 same that il has been for several years
past.
The DsLy GLoBE will be published during the
session on a superine double royal sheet. IL VIII
| contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as stered 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 Mem
bers 20 see their remarks in it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they are published IN the
The CONGRESSIONAL 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 nonpareilD IN quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal qusrto
pages. The speeches OF the Members, IN this frst
| form. are sometime condensed-the fullreport Of
| the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
/ prxptx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
| ceedines, are given in the form OF the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every.pPortant ques-
ton.
The Appendix is made up Of 1he Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports OF the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany a, and
all Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL printed 10 the
same form az the CoseaEssiosAL Citobs, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks OF a SEES
sion. there il rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week--one OF the CosenEs-
SIGNAL GLoBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
| ing the remainder OF a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF each
| sverv week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that The Con-
/ apxss,ossi GLoBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type--brsvier and nonpereil. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the END OF session.
We will endeavor to print a suthclentnumber 0
surplus copies to supply all that may be mistaried
or lost in the mails but subscribers shouid oe
very particular to file their papers carefuhy, LOT
| fear that we should not be able to supply az 'hs
