THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended thus 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
nm 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 tn fdeI
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken ut ran
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, are submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | compelled to omit,

The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
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 Cow
OCCASIONAL 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 bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
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 rapidly-wrtten epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect nforna
ton of whit passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
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 it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofeisure and thought who
like to wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
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 doipgs 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 SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, am
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350t
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making 4 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.
I will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES.
sion, which has not been done heretofore. AL
though this will increase in small degree the
expense OF the publication, the subscription price
will be the that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
| session on IA superfne double royal sheet. II will
in the dehn fes tot do l,ut ba
ers, and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main objec,
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem.
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them fhey
shall think proper before they published in the
| CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL 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 nonparei,) in quarto form,
| each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches Of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed--the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
rENDIx. 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 1t, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed in the
same form as NE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks Of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week--one Of the CONGRESS
| sIoNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of ench
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartc pDses, printed in
small type--brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surpuscopies to supply all that may be miscarried,
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 il will be
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.

CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at

disposed Of soon and when they are, they will

as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
