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 he's
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped wIl
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 il
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-
ity with which the duty thus conhded has been
performed The annexed notices, taken at ram
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,

TYPED
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
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 GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances &c 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 shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety OF cOIOrngs, 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 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 ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities OF the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect lnforma

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 his boots to follow Still there
are great many men of leisure and thought who
like to see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
sress 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 patronize u 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, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350e
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 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 i'm 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 superfne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publising the daily paper is, to enable Mem
hers to see their remarks it, and alter them lfthey
