THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER


of my proposals and preparations TO spread its
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is hoped will
continue, and enable to perpetuate the rull
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GiosE
an official character the reporter of all that
said and done in the body This sanction mas
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 idcl-
ity with which the duty thus confted 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 funess, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled TO omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are III
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the ieie-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cow
eREssIoNAL CLONE. The hasty, and in many
instances er pnte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, ana
winch formerly, In shape more or less ablre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety of colorings, take the of the cour-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the Iull uepblc Will LNc ptoCSeuitSS
both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their
isence While, therefore, the telegraph admns-
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the politicai
press, by furnishing rapidly-written epltome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect lnforma-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimIn-
ished. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut of by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almost IN yam
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men of leisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work when
preserves full record Of the dongs of the great
m owing 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 sen
sion will probably be extended nine months, am
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ut
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 800 pages each =
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal uuarto pages, and were bound IN four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the AprENDx for the next SEES
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 same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superhne 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
dav. and miscellaneous matter. The main objec,
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks IN it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX
The CoNGREssIo 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
pENpIx . 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 It, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks of a SECS
son there is rarely more business done than wil
make two numbers week--one of the CoNGREs
sroEAI GLOBE 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 Con-
GREssloNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartH pages, printed IN
small type--brever and nonparell. " furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number OF
surplus copies to supply all that may be mlscarrled,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for 1t will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. | will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
| have a few copies of the back volumes Of the
CovGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale al
IS volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed Of soon and when they are, they will
then no doubt, command at least So volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There are 25 back volumes.
