THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before the public. The success 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 the destiny of the Republic de-
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
said and done in the body. This sanction has
been voted ut every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties. The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the ide
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
work, are submitted in proof Of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. l 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 tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views Of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports fthe Con-
aREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eyact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
uCCouHtS, with all tuct ltupctIcCuOHS
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 ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
the eager appetite ofhe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-Wrtten eptome
suited to the taste Of its patrons, perfect informa-
ton of what passes in Congress- is greatly dimin
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 his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofeisure and thought who
like to see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
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
moving 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 ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350t
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 800 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 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 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 he's been for several years
past.
The DA,Ly GLosE will be published during the

contain the debates as taken down by tho report
ers, and as sltered 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 Mem.
bers their remarks in it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNaRRs sioNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quaEto form,
each number containing slxtecA royal quarto
pages The speeches of the Members, in this first
FORM are sometime CONFERENCE.-The full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
PENDIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton,
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accO ppany 1t, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress-, written
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 ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers II week-one of the CONGRESS
s,oNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but DUR
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers Of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
therefore, we calculate that the Con-
OCCASIONAL GLosE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nontareii We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF n session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number o
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred,
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 no, be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for it 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 CONGREGATIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
have a few copies of the back volumes OF the
GLOBE and APPENDIX Tor sale at
As volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed of soon I; and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 a volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
