THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread lis
debates before The public The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking il 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. $685.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLoBg
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 fdel
ity with which the duty thus confdcd has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, are submitted in proof OF its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are in
type
The great celebrity with which the Ietter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tee-
graph their hurried accounts and views Of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports nken down bv reporters, and
winch formerly, IN u shape more or LEES abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the
try, and no press but the official Of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect informa
tion of what passes in Congress is greatly dimn-
shed. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
w.res SATISFIES curiosity, and 1t IL almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
| are great many men Of leisure 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 galvanc bat
teries There are others, too, who, for the sake
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 asthe only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35OG
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
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 GLOBE will he published during the
session superGne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, aud as slered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obect
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers their remarks in it, and alter them iflhey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGRk ssIoNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
md printed on double royal paper with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil.) in qnarto form.
each number containing sixteen royal qunriO
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed--the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
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 revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form ns the CoNaREssioNAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks Of a SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-oDe of the CoEGREs
sIowAL GLOBE and one OF the Appendix but dur
ing the remainder Of Il session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of erch
The Vt will be Iu
therefore, calculate that the Con-
GREssioNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type--brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both ut the end OF session.
We will endeayor to print sufficient number o
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular TO file their papers carefully for
fear that should not he able to supply ali the
lost numbers
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
york, the money paid by them for it will be re-
unded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. | will give
he subscription price for any previous volumes o..
he CONGREGATIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
have u few copies of the back volumes of the
GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale al
ga volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed OF soon and when they are, they will

Is they cannot be reprinted for less than that
