PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"

TvNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for II

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
rT>HE 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 20 perpetuate
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny Of the Republic
depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
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 confdcd has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
Tor the distant through thetclcgraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact oic ial reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and III many instances eI pdrte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports ta-
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and variety OF colorngs, take
the run OF the country and no press but the official
of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
Tor advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite Of the
public tor Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties OF the political prcss, by furnishing rapidly
written epitomc suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress il
greatly diminished 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 al
most In vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Still there area great many men of leisure and
thought who like 10 see what is actualy said and
| done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves,
rather than to receive Impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizca work
which preserves full record of the doings of the
great moving and controlling power Of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com.
| mensurae with the increased Importance of the
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
| OF both Houses Of Congress. The coming session
VIII probably he extended nine mon tbs, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
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 97I royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next sea-
sion ALL that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Although
this Will increase III no small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years pnst.
The DAILY GLoBE will be published during the
session on superhne 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 for
publishing the daily paper Is 10 enable Members
to see their remarks in II, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoSaREssIoNAL GLOBE Ia made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on u double royal paper, with small
type, (brevicr and nonpareil in qusrto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes conference.-the full 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 Ia made up OF the Presidents An
nua Message, the Reports OF ;hc principal Officers
of the Government that accompany il, and all
Speeches of Members OF Congress-, written out or
revised themselves. IL is printed IN the same form
as the CosOREssiosAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during session.
During the fret month or Six weeks Of n secession.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-onc Of e CoSGREssIoNAL
GLoBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but during the re-
malndeT Of n session there 10 Usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next session will hc unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
clone and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed IN small type
BREWER and nUnpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end of n sesson.
! will cndeasor TO print sufficient number
ricd, or lost in the mails but subscribers should
he very particular 10 file their papers carefully, for
fear that | should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribcrs shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for IL will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. I will
give subscribers the subscription price for any of
tho previous volumes Of the CONGRESSIONAL G. LOBE

will thank any person who will let me have them.
