PROSPECTUS
TEE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

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 me to perpetuate the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLOBE
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 hde-
ity with which the duty thus con6ded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression In favor OF the
work, submitted in proof Of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. l am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are IN
type
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
oREssloNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports tnken down by reporters, and
winch formerly, IN a shape more less abbre-
Waited went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full 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 ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
| news, and meets the necessities OF the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-wrtten cptome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect Informa-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
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 it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
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 bat
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
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350G
roval uuarto pages of BREWER and nonparell 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 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 same that it has been for several years
past. !,

! contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as etered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main objec
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are 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 a 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 frs
| form. are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
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, writer
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in tn,
| same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, aiit
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 vii
make two numbers week-one of the CONGRESS
s1oEAI GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of eacf
| every week The next session will be unusually
| interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cow
cREssroNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together viii
| make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed II
small type-brever and nonpareil. We furnish
| complete Indexes to both at the end OF session
we will endeavor to print sufficient number o
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarried
or lost in the mails but subscribers should b.
very particular to file their papers carefully, fol
fear that we should not be able to supply all thu
| lost numbers.
IF subscribers shall not be satisfied with tn,
work, the money paid by them for it will be re
| funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will giv'
the subscription price for any previous volumes 0
