PROSPECTUS FOR "rHE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWsPAFEK.
VTNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for Il

L renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread it's debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it 10
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.
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 COnfdcd has been performed.
The great celerty with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLoDE. The hasty, and in many instances er parfe,
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 q
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts with all
their mperfcctions and variety OF colorings, take
the Of the country and press but the official
Of Congress ever publiahes- aha toiA- 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 for Congress news, and meets the nccessi
tics of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpitome suited to the taste of 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, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is al
most in vain that truth 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 tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries 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 Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
Incnsurate 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 quartz pages Of BREWER and nonpnreil 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 qunrto pages each.
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next scs-
sion all lave that may be passed during the ses.
sion, which has not been done heretofore Although
this will increase in 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 a superfine double royal shect. Ii will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and 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
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoSoRkssIoSAL GLoR. and APPENDIX.
The CoSGREssIoSAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil) in quarto form each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members in this hrst form,
are sometimes condenscd-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArPrs
All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, arc given in the form OF the Journals, with
tho yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX 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 themsetK Itis printed in the same form
as the CoseRrssV6sAL GLoBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the fret month or SIX weeks OF session.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a wcek-one Of CosGREssrosAL
LOBE and one OF the Appendix; but during the re-
nainder OF session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The ncrt scssion will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CosoRHssIosAL
GLopE and APPENDIX together will make at least
3 800 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparcil Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end of n session.
l will endeavor TO print Sufficient number
of surpus copies TO supply all that may be miscnr
riod. lost in the msls; but subscribers should
bc very particular 10 file their papers carefully for
fear that should not be able to supply all the
1 cot numbers.
II subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for IL will be re-
funded 60 them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. ] will
give subscribers the subscription price for any Of
the previous volumes Of the CoNGREssfoStL Lops
or the ApPSSDiI, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them |
have n few copies of the back volumes Of the |
CoNoRrssIosAL CLonE and APPENDIX for sale al /
) 5 n volume bound, which IL IL probable will be |
disposed Of coon; and when they arc, they will |
then no doubt, command at least d 10 a volume, |
ns they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There arc 25 back volumes.
