YWE GLOBE:
The official Paperof Congress and
NeWspaper for the People.

| i letter of Gen. Washington to David Stewart,
dated New Y Orl1, nth March, 1890, that the idea
| of such paper as propose to make the Globe,
| originated in the mind of the Father of his Couu-
| try. He said:
! sItis TO be lamcnted that the editors of the
! different Ga2ettes in the United Suites do not
more generally and more correctly (insteud of
( stu ng their papers with scurriiity and nonsen-
steal defamation, which few would read if they
were upprized of the cOntents) publish the de-
bates in Congress on all great national questions
The p inCiples upon which the difference of
| opinion arises, well the decisions, would
then come fully before the public, and afford
the best data for its Judgment. "-Spdrks's Wri-
tin9s Of Washington, rot. 10. p. 81
THE DAILY GLOBE AND CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE.
In surrendering my interest in the organ of
great political party, cherished the purpose of
continuing the Congressional Globe, and if pos
sble, in time, to perfect it into full history of
the action of Congress- giving the debates uccu-
rutcly and fully with tie Procredings-n!l stamp
ed with the verify of an official record. From
| the passage in the letter of General Washington,
which have quoted, il will be perceived that he
thought this Office might be combined with that
| of regular newspaper and it is certain that the
iavidit of the public for news of the less tmpor
tant KIND greatly contributes to give wings to the
weighter matter which may be called Congress
sonal news.
Having succeeded in myrurPosc of pcriacting
the reports of the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp. now propose to send
them abroad in connection with Tbs. news of the
day in such haste shall outstrip full and accu-
rate intelligence sent from the seat o government
in any other form whatever. 1t will even antci-
pate the scraps of news forwarded to cities wihia
two hundred and fifty miles Of Washington by
telegraph. Before the events thus transmitted are
published in the nIornfngpppefs, dor instance, of
the city of New Y ork, )the Globe containing them
will have reached the post Office Sf the city by
tn Express Mail of the previous night The
process by which this will be effected now lay
before the public.
| will have n corps of sixteen Reporters in Con-
gress each i'll succession will take notes during
five minutes, then retire, prepare them for the
press, put them slip by slip i'll the hands OF the
Compositors, and thus, while debate is going
| on in Congress, it wilt be put in type, and in u
few minutes after it is ended it will be in print
shall by this means be enabled to send by the
Express Mail of ) o'clock, z, NJ, for the East,
West, and North, and by that of . O'Clock 2. NJ,
for the South, all the proceedings ofCongress up
to the ordinary hour of adjournment. Thus the
accurate debates of Congress will reach the cities
two hundred and fifty mics from the Capitol be-
fore their daily morning papers arc in circula-
ton.
The miscellaneous ncws shall be careful to
gather from remote sections of the country by
telegraph. | will obtain from the Executive De-
purtmeuts, through official sources, the matters
of moment transacted in them, and through
agents employed for the purpose, all city news
of consequence, IN sufficient time to be put into
the Globe and mailed in the Express Mail trains.
In this way, | hope to create new era in the
discrimination of news from Washngtnn.-l
Hitherto no newspaper has attempted to give
thentic accounts of things done at Washington,
before the public MUD ut distance had received
its first Impressions from Irresponsible telegraph
c diSpuc les, or by Underwriters biased by pecu-
lizr views.
Washington has now become so greata centre
Of political interest during all the year-the pro-
cccdings of the Executive Departments and the
Information collected by them even during the
recess OF Congress is of so much importance to
the interests Of every section of the country
that shall continue the publication of the daily
paper permanently, with n view to become the
vehicle of the earliest and most correct ntclIi- |
genCe.
If is part of my plan to red uce the price of tho
daily pupnr to half that of similar daily papers,
and thus / hope TO extend its circulation us to
invite advertisements. | will publish ADVERTISE
ments of the Government. To subscribers in the
cities l hope to submit such terms will induce
them TO advertise their business in every village
throughout tho Union, where the Globe is sent
d-4iy under the franks Of members of Congress,
all of whom take it, iand some of them large
number of copies.
The installation of Il new administration and
Il new L congress, portends much change in the
course of public ufflirs the result of the next
session. Many vast interests which were brought |
up in the last Congress were laid over by the
Democratic majority to await the action of Il De-
mocrattc Executives. The new modelling of the |
tariff; the new land system the question of gil |
wing homesteuds and making every man free
holder who may choose to become one; the APP |
Proclamation of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by /
u national railroad acro.s the territory of the
Union; reform in the army, navy, and civil OIL
Ccs-all these great questions, with Il thousand /
minor ones, deeply affecting multitudes OF men
and every State in the Union, will, now being
mnturcd by public opinion, come up for the Go !
vornment's decision. These new issues, co-oPe- |
rating with old ones, coming up to be disposed
oil by new actors on the scenes at Washington,
VIII be apt to modify greatly, if not alter essen-
'' my the party organizations of the country.
