PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE ,C0NGR EssIoNAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
4 renewal ofmy proposals and preparations to
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t 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
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant through thetelegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact oficiatreports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many instances er parte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
suPcrsede, 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 inperfections and variety Of coiorings, take
the run OF country and no press but the official
OF Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In-
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
eosentait to their exisence. While therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties of tho 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 circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut off by het
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires saisfies curiosity, and it is al
most in vain hattruth puts his boots to follow.
Still there great many men of leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galYanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record Of the doings of the
great moving and controlling power of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurate with the increased Importance of the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses Of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised. in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparell 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 97i royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in 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 superine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
to their remarks in it, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNenEssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNaR EssoNAL 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 nonparel, in quarto form each
number containing sixteen royal quar!o pages
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
arc sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report Of the
"a rpseos,es beisg reserved for the APPEN 4
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays every important question. d
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidene An
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Officers
Of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. It is printed in the same form
as the CoNaR EssioNAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the frat month or ak weeks OF n session
there is rarely more business done than Will make
two numbers weck-one of tie CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
malndcr Of 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 CoNsR EssIoNAL
GLOBE and APpEs DIX together will make at least
$500 large qunrto pages printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareii. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end of n session.
