PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
| of my proposals and preparations 10 spread l,s
debates before the public. The success which mas
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 ae-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLosE
an official character the reporter OF all that ~
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 of ali parties has borne testimony to the hds.

dom from the general expression IN favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof Of it's funess, tar
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to onnt.

| The great celebrity with which the letter-writcTs
for the distant press circulate through the is,e-
| graph their hurried accounts and views oil the
| debates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact Official reports OF the CnN-
caEssionAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in many
instances sr parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most par,.
| the exact reports taken down bv reporters, ana
| winch formerly, IN a shape more or less abbr~-
waited, went the rounds of The press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfecuons
and variety of coorings, take the run Of the cou-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
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 ex
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities OF the political
press by furnishing a rapidly-written cpitome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect inornu
ton of what passes in Congress ,s greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude ana
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and Il is almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are 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 galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the SAKE
of the future, willingly patronlze Il work which
preservesa full record of the dongs 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 rs the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses Of Congress. The coming ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, am
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35ve
royal qunrto pages of BREWER and nonpareIl type
making volumes of near 800 pages each =
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal auarto 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 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 he published during the
session super6ne double royal sheet II VIII
| contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of tnt
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper Is, to enable Mem.
bers to see their remarks in it, and alter them ftney
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
tyne, (breyier and nonpareil,) in quartO form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, In this first
form, are sometime condeDsed-the full report o1
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
pENDIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceednos. are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important quep-
ton.
The AppENptx is made up Of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
| M
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a ssn-
sion there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one OF the CoNGRks-
sIoEAI GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but DUR
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF eacn
every week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and ArPENDIx together Will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed IN
small type-brfyier and nonparei. 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 mscarried,
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 II will be re-
funded to them whenever 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
