THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread us
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped will
continue, and enable me TO perpetuate the iuIl
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 GIosE
official character as the reporter of all tina; rs
said and done in the body. This sanction mas
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 fael-
| 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 omit,

lfhe great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the teIe-
graph their hurried accounts and views of Inc
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cow
GREssIoNAI. GLOBE. The hasty,' and in many
| instances parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly, In shape more or less abbrr-
waited, went the rounds of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
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 manipulated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
stence. 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 rapidly written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect norma

ished. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude an
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in VAIN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
, are a great many men of leisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con
gress, and Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
OF the future, willingly patronlze a work when

| moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations corn
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, am
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350t
royal quarlo pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type
7 making 4 volumes of near 900 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1896
r 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 scs-
( sion, which has not been done heretofore. Al
' though this will increase in small degree the
expense OF the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
, past.
The DAILY GLow will be published during the
8 session on a superine double royal sheet IL will
n contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
: make any alterations the current news of the
!, day, and miscellaneous matter. The main oblec'
for publishing the daily paper Is, 10 enable Mem
beers TO their remarks IN it, and alter IN I'm they
shall think proper before they are published in tns
CossREssIosAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
