PAPER.
THx approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread i,s
debates before the public The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me To perpetuatc the full
history OF the proceedings and discussions Of the
body on which the destiny of the RepubIic de-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLoBE
au official character the reporter of all that Is
said aud done R 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 the fdel-
ity with which the duty thus confcrd has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, ale submitted in proof of us fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. ! am compelled to omit
for want of room, page of notices which are in
type.
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter writers
tor the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates or Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasy, and in many
instances tr porfe, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress superf EIDE, for the most part,
the exact rsports taken down bv reporters, and
winch formerly, IN shape or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfec,ons
and variety OF cOlorings, take the of the coun-
try, and 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 adniinis-
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities Of the political.
press, by furnishing rapidly written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect infora-
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 il almost in vain
that truth puts hs boots to follow. Still there
are great many men of leisure 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 patronize 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 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
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 superfne 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
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers 10 their remarks in it, 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 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 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 II, and
ali Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. Ii is printed in the
same form the CoNGREssIoSAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during ses, ION.
During the first month or six weeks Of ses-
sion, there s rarely more business done than will
make two numbers n week-one Of the CoNGREs-
sioEAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but DUR
ing the remainder OF session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers Of each
every week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLcBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto prges, printed in
small type-brever and nonparei. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end Of session.
We will endeavor TO print sufficient number
surplus copies 10 supply all that may be miscarred,
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 it will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them Twill 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.
