spread it's debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il lie
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
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 members of all parties. The press, too OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports oithe CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty and in many instances er parte,
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 a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
Of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their impericctions and variety Of colorngs, take
the run OF the country and no press but the official
OF Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite Of the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi.
ties OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cptome suited to the taste VI its patrons,
perfect information Of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and ii is al
most III vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Sun there arc Il great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what isactually 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 patronizea work
which preserves full record OF the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power Of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensuratc 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 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES.
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 il has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLoBE Will be published during the
session on superfinc double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as altered by the speakers whenever they
make 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 in il, and alter them il they
shall think proper before they published in the
