THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its 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
depends.
an officia character the reporter of all that is
suid 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 conhded has been performed.
The great celerity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates Of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er pnrte,
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
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their ilnpercctions and variety of coiorings take
the run of the country, and press but the oflcal
OF Congress ever publishes tho 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 epitome 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 1t Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots TO follow
Still there are a great many men of leisure and
thought who like to see what 10 actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There 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.
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- Ihe 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 nonparcil type,
making volumes OF near 600 pages each: The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In 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 scs-
zion, 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 it has been for scvera years past:
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates 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
10 see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CONGRESSIONAL g LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssoNAL 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 quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condcnsed-the full report of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPKN-
III Y1ntl
iugs, given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question:
The APPTspII is made up OF the President's An
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal O1lcers
of the Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches Of Members Of Congress- written out or
revised themselves 1t is printed in the same form
as the CoNoH HEssIoNAL LOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF session
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one Of t c CoSe REssioNAL
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder Of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers of each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNoRrssIoNAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed IN small type
