THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread Its
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
body on which the destiny Of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLoBE
an official character the reporter of all that ia
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 ide-
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. | compelled to omit,
for want Of room, page Of notices which are IN
type >,
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 CLONE. 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 by reporters, and
winch formerly, shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfecuons
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 unmutlated. 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 fthe public for Congress-
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapdly-wrltten eptome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa-
&c hot, in ia
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 oflesure and thought who
like to see wlat is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
| receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teres. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronze work which
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 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, anr
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350G
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 800 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
sion all laws that may be passed during the
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 it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superiine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any ateratons the current news Of ths
dey and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks IN It, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGRE ss,oNAL 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 nonpareil,) 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 AP-
| pENpIx 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 IT, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during u session.
During the first month or six weeks of a ses-
sion, there is rnrely more business done than WIN
