THE C8NGR EssIoNAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread it's debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking Nis
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny 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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celerity with which the letter. writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many instances er pdrfs,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs IN Congress
supersede for the most part the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, IN a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds

their inperfections and variety OF colorings, take

Of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutllated. In
decd, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore. the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpitome suited to the taste OF its patrons,

reports has been, to some extent, cut oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along

The undersigned has made preparations com
Inensurate 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 5000
royal quarto 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 volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
/ will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the scs-
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 1t has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
scssion ON a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as 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 Tor
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL G LOBE and APPENDIX.
The Coz CIR EssroSAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed q double royal paper, with small
type (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-the iuil report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN-
All resolutions motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal Olcers
of the Government that accompany IT, and all
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. II is printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL e LOBE, and usually makes
about the came number Of pages during session.

there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers weck-one OF tie CoSeREssioNAL
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
maInder Of session there is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type,
