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
continue, and enable me to perpetuete 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 Clone
an official character the reporter of all that III
| said and done in the body. This sanction has
been voted ut every successive session for many
years, and by members Of all parties The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the fdel-
| ity with which the duty thus conided has been
! performed. The annexed notices, taken at
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
| The great celebrity with which the letter-wrtels
| for the distant press circulate through the lee-
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 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 imperfections
try, and no press but the official Of Congress
| publishes the fun 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 fthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written epitome
suited to the taste of it's patrons, perfect Informs
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly timin
.ho al nct III ctal
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and II is almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see wi at is actually said and done in Con
sress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than
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 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 ses
,,' m will probably be extended nine months, anc
i,A reports will not be comprised in less than 350G
royal quartO pages of brewer and nonparei type
| making A 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.
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
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 it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and stered by the speakers, whenever they
| make any alterations; the current news OF the
| dav and misce aneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers their remarks in 1t, and alter them Ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX
| The CoNGRE ssIoNAL 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 nonparell,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, IN this first
| form, are sometime conference.-the full report OF
| the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar-
pENDIx. 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 the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during session.
During the first month six weeks of a SEES
son there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers u week-oDe of the CoNcnhs-
SIGNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
| ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF each
| every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, calculate that the CON
cnEss,oNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
| make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
! small type--brever and nonpareil. We FURNISH
complete Indexes to both at the end or session
| We will endeavor to print sufhcient number o
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred,
! 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.
| II subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for it 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
have few copies of the back volumes OF the
Co vGREss,oNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
