THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread Tvs
hitherto attended this undertaking il il hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuats the full
history of the proceedings and discussions Of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
Ponds.
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 hdel
ty 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. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page Of notices which are in
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tee-
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-
oREssIoNAL GLOBE. 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, IN a shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the cOuD-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutiaed. 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 ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written spitoms
suited to the taste Of its Patrons perfect informa-

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 it 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 what ia actually said and done in Con-
gress, and Judge for themselves, rather than to
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 SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months. anc
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quart0 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 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 superfne double royal sheet. II will
tx-.AI
ers, and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of tbs
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssIoNAL 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 conference.-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
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 CoNoREssIoNAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during session.
During the first month six weeks of a SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one Of the ConGREs-
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 VIII be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the CON-
GaEs.IonAL GLoDE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto Pc.ses, printed in
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We FURNISH
complete Indexes TO both at the end Of q session.
We will endeavor TO print sutftcssnt number o
surplus copies to supply all that may b miscarred,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
yery particular to file their papsrs carefully, for
frar that we should not be able 70 supply al the
lost numbers.
If subscribers 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 have been received by them. Twill give
the subscription price for any previous volumes Of
the ConewKssIoHAL GLoBe or the ArrENpix, and
