PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
A for


THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
renewal proposals land; and preparations TO
which has 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 tho destiny OF the Republic
depends.
The adoption Of Congress- has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter Of all that is
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session Tor many years.
and by members Of all parties The press too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus conhded has been performed.
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBs. The hasty, end in many instances er pdrte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supcrsede for the most part, the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts with all
their inperfections and variety of colorngs, take
the of the country and no 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 existence. Winnie, therefore, the
telegraph administers to tho eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessl
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpitome suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect information of what passes III Congress Ia
greatly diminished The circulation OF the official
reports has BEEN to some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t ls al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to what is actually said and
done in Congress- and to Judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There are others, too, who for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work

public
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance OF the
duty he has undertaken 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 nonparell type,
making volumes Of near 900 pages each The
reports for the last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quhrto pages each
| will publish in the APPENDIX Tor the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which has not been done heretofore Although
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 IL superhne double royal sheet. IL VIII
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations the current ncws OF the day.
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper Is to enable Members
To see their remark ks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CosGRKssIosAL GLoBE and APrKsDIx
The CoNG n xssIoNAL GLOBE Ia made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brcvier and nonpareil in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members, IN tins hrst iorn'
are sometimes condensed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEs-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents An
nunl Message, the Reports OF the principal ofcers
of the Government that accompany 1t, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves IL is printed in the same form
as the Cor REssrosAL LOBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF a sessiof
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a wcek--one Of C CosGRKsstosAL
G LOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder OF session there Ia usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calc ulate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBs and APPssDi1 together will make mt least
500 largo quarto pagcs, printed IN small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes To both
will be furnished at the end Of "A session.
