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 perpetuate 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 as 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 fdel-
ity with which the duty thus conided has been
| performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression In favor Of the
work, 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-wrlters
| 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 er parte, relations by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
| the eyact 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
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-

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-
stence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapdly-written epitome
suited TO the taste of its patrons, perfect informa-
| ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
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 Il IS almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots TO. follow. Still there
| are great many men oflesure and thought who
| like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
| gress, and to 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 patronze 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 or 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 350t
royal quarto pages of brewer and nonparei type
making 4 volumes Of near 900 pages EACH
| The reports for the last long session made 1896

umes, averaging ga royal quarto pages each.

ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the
day, and miscellaneous patter. The main obleci
for publishing the daily paper ia, to enable Mem.
bers To see their remarks IN it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they are published in'the
CoNeREssIoEAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress-
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. Thespeeches OF the Members, IN this first
form, are sometime condensed-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. Ii is printed in the
same form as the CoNeRKssIoNAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during session,
During the first month or six weeks Of SEES
sion, there is rarely business done than will
make two numbers a week-one Of the CoSeREs-
uogAL GLopE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur.
ing the remainder OF a 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 Cox
