PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TINE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
spread it's debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t ID
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history OF the proceedings and
of the body on which the destiny Of the Republic

official character Us 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 confded has been performed.
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter writer's
for the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances &c parfe,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supcrsede, for the most part the exact reports a-
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their irnperfa,.:os. Rrvariety VI coiorings, take
Of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
tics Of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste of its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress ID
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wircs satisfies curiosity, and it ia al
most in vain that truth puts ON 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 to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea wo[s M
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
ncnsurate 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 nonparel type,
making volumes of near 600 pages each: The
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
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 a 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 ior
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to their remarks in it, and alter them IL they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL G LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNoR REssIoSAL GLoBH 10 made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevcr and nonpareil) in quarto form, each
number containing sixtecn royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArpsS-
pix. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
iugs, given in the form oil the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question:
The APpESpIx is made up OF the Prcsdenps An
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal Ofhcers
Of the Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. X is printed in the samc form
as the CoSonEssIoSAL LOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the rst month or six weeks Of a scssioL
there ia rarely more business done tnan VIII make
two numbers week--one OF { e CosoRKssiosAL
GLOBE and one of the APPKNpIx; but during the re-
malnder of session there is usually suihcient
matter for two three numbers oil each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNeREssIoSAL
GLOBE and AppEsoIx together will make at least
800 large quarto pages printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end OF a session.
