PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.


THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
Il renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the pubic. Inc success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t Is
hoped will continue, and enable me TO perpctuate
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 hdelty Win
which the duty thus contidcd has been performed.
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter writers
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 eI pdrte,
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
shape more or less abbreviated went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their inperfcctions and variety 0: colorings take
the run OF the country, and no press pu. the olcal
Of Congress ever publishes the iull debate win
the proceedings of both Houses unmutllated In
deed 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 eptome suited to the taste OF Its patrons,
perfect information OF what passes IN Congress is
greatly diminished. The clrCuiatlon OF inc olnclai
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by she
crude and diversified accounts which, hylng along
the elec trio wires satisfies curiosity and II ls al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like TO see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and 70 Judge Tor themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
eayanic batteries There are others, too, who, for
the sake OF the future, willingly patronlzea WORK
which preserves q full record of the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the ke-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
Inensuratc with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken az the only reporter ana
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both IIouses of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months and the
reports will not be comprised in less than 3,5oo
royal quarto pages OF BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the Last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging 97l royal quarto pages each
Twill publish in the Appendix for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore Although
this will increase small degree the expense of
tho publication the subscription Price VIII DC 'he
same that il has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE Will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. Ii VIII
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever thsy
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper Is TO enable Members
10 Bee their remarks in It, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE is made up oil tho
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type (hrever and nonpnrcil,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal qnarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this frat form,
are sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report oil the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPsN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ingz, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
~ ycss aad -ays cn e}--rv iTVcrtant question.
The APPESpIr is made up of the = Presidenrs An
nunl Message tho Reports Of the principal Ohlcers
of tho Government that accompany IT, and all
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, wrIten Out or
revised themselves. IL is printed IN the same Iorin
as the CuNsREssIosAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF eessloh
there il rarely more business done than Will make
two numbers a wcck-one Of TIC CosoRxssIosAL
GLonE and one Of the Appendix; but during the re-
malndcr Of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNanEssIoNAL
GLoss and APPEspIS1ogethor will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed ia small type,
