PROSPECTUS FOR sTHE GLOBE,''
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TINE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking II Is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history ofthe proceedings and discussions
Of the body on which the destiny Of the Republic
The adoption of Congress has given the GLosx
an official character the reporter Of all that 10
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many years,
all parties has borne testinpny to the fidelity with
which the duty thus conhded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter riters
for the distant the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CoHdREssIoNAL
GLoBH. The hasty, and in many instanceser pGrfe,
relations by telegraph of what occurs In Congress
supersede 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 mperfections and variety Of colorings, take
the Of the country, and press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to tho eager appetite Of the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
written epitome suited to the taste of its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress s
greatly diminished The circulation Of the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut off by het
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and it is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Still there are a 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
galvanic batteries. There are others, too who, for
hs s ns s donss
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public. '''7E:
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mcnsurate 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 session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in 4 volumes, ave-
raging S74 royal quarto pages each.
Twill publish in the APPEsDIx 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 superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
ma 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 remarks ia it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNaR sssioNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX: 49,
The CoN0R EssIoNAL GLOBE Is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (breyier and nonpareil in quarto form, each

prepared speeches being reserved for the APrEE

ings, are given in the form OF the Journals with
the yeas and nays on every important question:
The ArrENDIx 10 made up of the Presidents An
nusi Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches of Members Of Congress-, written out or
revised themselves 1t is printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLosE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the frstmonth or six weeks OF session.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-one Of Cong EssIoNAL
GLoBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
malnder of q 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 CoNan EssIoNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
Sreyier and nonpsrsl: Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end of a session.
