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 to perpetuate the full
history of the proceedings and d 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 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-
iiy with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor or the
work, are submitted in proof of its fulness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, Il page of notices which are in
TYPED
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
the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssONAL GLOBE. The hnsty, and in many
instances er pnrte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, shape more less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety of colorings, take the run of the
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutated. 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 a rapidly written eptome
suited to the taste Of its patrons, perfect nforma-
Of ,hot in ta mi
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 on his boots to follow. Still there
are n great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teres. There 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
md,qlirae 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
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making a 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 ses-
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 a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates 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 publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE is made up of the
dailv proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on Il 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 condensed--the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
rENpIx All resolutions, notions, 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
same form the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than VIII
make two numbers a week--oDe OF the CONGRESS
stoEAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; Dut our
ing the remainder Of u session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF each
every week The next session WIN oe unusually
interesting therefore, calculate that the CON
GREssIoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX toSetner VIII

small tvpe-brever and nonparell. We furnish
comnlete Indexes to both at the end or session.
We wil endeavor to print sufficient number

funded to them whenever they return the numbers
