PROSPECTUS FOR "rHE GLOBE"
TIE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER
TINE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for th,
L renewal of my proposals aud preparations t.
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il ID
/ hoped will continue, and enable me 10 perpotuats
the full history Of the proceedings and discussons
OF the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
| depends
+ The adoption of Congress has given the GLoBE
an Official character as 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 membere of all parties. The press, too. Of
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus conflded has bcen performed
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views ot the debates of
Congress, renders more important than ever tho
full aud exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty and in many instances er p0Tfs,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supersede for the Inost part the exact reports ia
ken down by repor ters, and which formerly. in IA
| shape lees abbreviated, went the rounds
Of the press. Now the telegraph accounts with all
their imperfections and variety OF colorings, take
the of the country and no press but the Official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilatcd. In
deed, newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential their existence. While, therefore. the
cegrs ph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation oI the official
| reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversihed accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity. and it ID al
most in vain that nth puts on his boots TO follow
Still there great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There are others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronlzea work
Iii full aft a
great moving and contt rolling power OF tho Re
public.
The undersigned has made preparations coLn-
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 800
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
ouarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging y74 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the Appendix for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the scs-
sion which hasnot 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 G LODE will be published during the
session on a superhne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
crs, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any ations the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter Inc uaih oDJeCt iOT
publishing the daily paper is TO enable Members
to sec their remar in it, and alter them il they
shall think proper before they published in the
Cor n EssIoNA A e LOBE and APPENpIx
The CoNGR KssoNAL GLOBE Is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed double royal paper, with small
type, (brcver and nonparcii in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
arc sometimes condcnsed-,he full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved Tor the APPks-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, given in the form Of the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
|. The AppEspix is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany IL, and all
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. Ii is printed in the same form
as the CoSosEssioSAL GLoBE, and usually makes
about the same number OF pages during session.
During the fret month or ak weeks Of n scssion
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one Of { e CosoREssrosAL
G LOBE and ono Of the ArPxspIx; but during the re-
maInder of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers OF enoh every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore ! calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBg and APPENDIX together will make at least
g. 500 largo quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareii. Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end OF a session.
