PROSPECTUS FOR s.THE GLOBE"
THE c0NGRE ssIoNAL NEWSPAPER
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal Of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpctuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
Of the body on which the destiny of the Republic
The adoption of Congress has given the LOBE
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, OIL
all parties has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
Tor the distant uste through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact offs ial reports ofthe GREssIoNAL
GLo1E. The hasty, and in many instancessr parts,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersedc, for the most part, the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfectOns and variety OF coiorings, take
the of the country, and press but the official
OF Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutiated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their oxstence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste of its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress- is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil by het
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity. and it s al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there arc great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive Impressions altogether from
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record of the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
publi;.
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 session
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 volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long sesson made 1896 royal
quarto pages and were bound lns4 volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the ApPEspIx for the next ses'
sion all laws that may be passed during the sea
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for scveral years past.
The DAILY GLoBE will be published during the
session superfine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
era, and as altered 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 Members
to see their rema ks in il, and alter them IL they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNaREssioNAL G LOBE 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 quaro FORM each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this fret form,
sometimes conference.-the full report Of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the AppEa
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
fngs, are given In the form OF the Journals, vito
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX Is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany it, and ali
Speeches of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the form
as the CONG EssioSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks of a ses5ioi
there ia rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-one Of t c CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBs and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder of session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNoR EssIoNAI
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end OF session.
i will endeavor TO print sufficient number
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar
RED or lost In the mails; but subscribers should
he very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that should not be able 10 supply all the
1O6I nCt0DCrs
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for it will be
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. / will
give subscribers the subscription price for any of
the previous volumes Of the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me haysthem
have few copies of the back volumes~bf the
CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE and APPENDIX for sale at
SIS avolume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed of soon; and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least s. 10 volume
they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum-
There are 25 back volumes.
