THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
TnE 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 wnl
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the rall
history of the proceedings and discussions Of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter of all that
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 idel
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, are submitted in proof of its fullness, tar
ness, and usefulness. am compelled TO omil,

Ihe great celebrity with which the etter-writeIs
for the distant press circulate through the teic-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
sREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances ca parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs IN Congress auperscde, for the most part,
the eynct reports taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly, IN shape more less abhre-
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
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
ters to the eager appetite ofte public for Congress-
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written cptome
suited to the taste of It's patrons, perfect infornu
ton Of what passes i'll Congress is greatly dimln-
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 1t is almost in VAIN
that truth puts on hia boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, aud to Judge for themselves, rather than
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly pntronize work when
preserves full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations coin
mensurate with the increased Importance of tn
duty he has undertaken az the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
of both Houses of Congress. The coming sss
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ot
making volumes of near 900 pages each -
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal uuarto pages, and were bound in four vol
unes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
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 has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLoB. will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers. and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of tnt
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks it, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssIoNAL 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 qunrto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarlo
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this FIRST
form, are sometime condensed-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 accompany II, 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
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one of the CoNGREs-
siovAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder OF session, there Is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cox
GREssroNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type-brever and noDparei. w furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF a session.
We will endeavor tu print sufficient number Of
surpluscopies 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 not be satisfied with the
worK, the money paid by them for it will be
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 CoNcnEssIoNAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX and
will thank any person who will let me have them.

CowGREssioNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX for sale at

as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
