THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
THE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread rs
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is hoped wall
continue, and enable me to peerrpetuate 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 GLoBE
official character as the reporter of all thar rs
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 fde-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom fromthe geneJ expression in favor Of the
work, are subrnitt@ ~ proof of its fullness, tar
ness, and usefuln(sa. | am compelled to omit,
for want Of room, page of notices which are IN
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the teie-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Cox
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
| the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, in shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds of the press. Now the
|
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
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-wrtten epItome
suited to the taste of its Patrons perfect Inorma-
ton Of what passes in Congress is greatly dimn-
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 of leisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 20
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
msging 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 SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
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 1896
/ royal quarto pages, and were bound In four vol
unles, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
1 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 Plication, the subscription price
will be the lai it has been for several years
