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 mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of ,ne
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
peRds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GI0DE
an Official character as the reporter Of all thac rs
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, or all parties has borne testimony to the fiae
ity with which the duty thus conided has heen
performed. The annexed notices, taken at rsIl-
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, are submitted in proof Of it's fullnesa, ta,r
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,

The great CELEBRITY with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the tc,.-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports Of the Cox
cREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty. and in many
instances &c parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs IN Congress- supersede, for the most part
the esuct reports taken down hv reporters, aud
which formerly, In shape more less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their impcrfecuons
and variety chickering's take the run Of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun 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 :
lstence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapdy-writen epitome
suited to the taste of its PATRONS perfect nforn,u-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimll-
shed. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude an
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in va,u
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
great many men oflesure 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 galvanic bar
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronlze 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 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 ser
sion will probably be extended nine months,
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
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 quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX 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 small degree the
expense Of the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAMY GLOBE will he published during TN,
session on Il superfne double royal sheet. 1t vii
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever the,
make any alterations; the current news of tint
day, and miscellaneous matter The main oblec
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in and alter them iftney
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress-
and printed on double royal paper, with smat
type, (brevier and nonpareil,O in quarto form
each number containing sixteen royal quartz
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this lrs
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. 1t IL printed ia the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF page,
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks of seq
son there liz rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week--one of the CONGRESS
sIoHAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX but dur
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, calculate that the Con-
cREssroNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type--brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried,
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
worn, the money paid by them for it will be re-
funded to them whenevert 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
GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
IS n volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed OF soon and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There are 25 back volumes.
