THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
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 this undertaking it is hoped will
history of the proceedings and discussions Of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLoBE
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 del.
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, 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-writers
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 Cow
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances 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 more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfections
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 unmutiated. 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-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect inorma
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimn-
shed. 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 il il almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like 10 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 n work whifS
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 the
duty be has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses Of Congress. The coming ses-
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages Of brewer and nonparei 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 ga royal quarto pages each.
| will publish IN the ArrEEpix for the next ses-
sion oil laws tina, 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 that il has been for several years
past.
The Danr GLoBr will be published during IN.
session on a superfne double royel sheet. IL will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as sltered by the speakers whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publIsing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers 70 see their remarks IN It, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
Co.eREssIoSAL GLoBE and AprLNpiI.
The CosGREssiosAL GLopL 10 made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpsreil,) in quArto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches Of the Mem ers, in this first
form, are sometime condensed--the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar.
PEsDIx. 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 ArpEspx is made up Of the PRESIDENT
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany ~, and
all Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL IL printed in the
same form &c the CoseREssiosAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during ses. ion.
During the first month or six weeks Of q SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than viii
make two numbers q week-one Of the CoseREs-
,oxAL GLosE and one Of the ArrtsDix; but dur
ing the remainder Of session, there 10 usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers Of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
eRrssIosSL GLoss and ArrssDIx together VIII
make at least $500 large qusrto psee., printed IN
small type-brevIer and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes 10 both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor 70 PRINT a sufficient number o
surplus copies 10 supply all that may be miscarred,

fear that we should not be able TO supply al the
lost numbers.
