THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS-,
AND NEWSPAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
II viii be seen by the annexed extract from
| letter Of General Washington TO David Stewart,
dated New York 17th March, 1890, that The idea
/ OF such paper as propose 10 make the Globe
| He said:
at to ba lamensed that the editors Of the dsrsut
Gasettes IN the Union do not generally
recty 0nstssd Of stunning their papers With srurriy and

/ THE DAILY GLOBE AND The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
In surrenderng my interest in the organ Of
| great political party, cherished the purpose Of
continuing fhe Congressional Globe, and, il possi-
ble in time, TO perfect il into full history Of the
action of Congress, giving the debates accurately
and fully with the proceedings-all stamped 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 il is certain that the avidity Of the
public for news Of the less important kind greatly
contributes 10 give wing to the weightier matter
which may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of periecting
them the Official stamp, now propose 10 send
them abroad, in connection with the news Of the
day. in such haste as shall outstrip full and accu-
rate intelligence sent from the seat of Government
IN any other form whatever. i will even antci-
pate the scraps Of news forwarded 10 cities within
TWO hundred and fiffymiles Of Washington by tee-
graph. Before the events thus transmitted are
published in the morning papers, (for instance Of
the city OF New York; the Globe containing them
will have reached the post Office Of that city by the
Express Mail of the previous night The process
by which this will be effected now lay before the
public. .
will have corps Of sixteen Reporters in Con-
Il gress; each in succession will take notes during
five minutes, then retire, prepare them for the
Press, put them slip by slip in the hands of COM
positors, and thus while debate is going on in
Congress, i will be put in type, and in few min
utes after il is ended il will be in print. shall
by this means, be enabled TO send by the Express
Mail Of O'clock p. M for the East, West, and
North, and by that Of o'clock pm. for the South,
all the proceedings Of Congress up to the ordinary
hour of adjournment. Thus the accurate debates
Of Congress- will reach the cities two hundred and
fifty miles from the Capitol before their daily morn
ing papers are in circulation. is IS
The miscellaneous news l shall be careful TO
gather from remote sections Of the country by tele-
graph. will obtain from the Executive Depart
ments, through official sources, the matters Of mo-
ment transacted in them, and through agents
employed for the purpose, all the city news Of con-
sequence in sufficient time TO be put into the Globe
ana mhueu In the Express Mail trans In this
way hope to create new era in the dssemina-
ton Of news from Washington. Hitherto no news
paper has attempted to give authentic accounts of
things done at Washington before the public mind
at distance had received its first impressions
form irresponsible telegraphic dispatches or by
letter-writers biased by peculiar views.
Washington has now become so great a centre
of political interest during all the year-the pro
ceedings of the Executive Departments and the
information collected by them even during the re-
cess Of Congress is Of SO much importance to the
interests of every section of the country--that I
shall continue the publication of the daily paper
permanently, with view to become the vehicle
the earliest and most correct intelligence.
II is part Of my plan 10 reduce the price of the
daily paper to half that Of similar daily papers and
thus hope to extend its circulation so as TO invite
advertisements. ] will publish advertisements of
the Government. To subscribers in the cities 1
hope 10 submit such terms as viii induce them 10
advertise their business in every village through
out the Union, where the Globe is sent daily under
the franks of members Of Congress, all Of whom
take IL, and some ofthem large number of, copies.
The installation OF a new Administration and a
new Congress portends much change in the course
of public affairs 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 Democratic Ex-
ecutive. The new modelling Of the tariff; the new
land system; the question Of giving homestcads
and making every man a freeholder who may
choose to become one the approximation Of the
across the territory Of the Union reform in the
Il Army, Navy, and civil ofices--all these great cues
tions, with thousand minor ones, deeply affecting
inultitudes Of men and every State in the Union
will, now being matured by public opinion come
up for the Governments decision. These new
issues, cooperating with old ones, coming up to be
disposed Of by sew actors on the scenes at Wash
ington, will be apt TO modify greatly if not alter
essentially the party organizations Of the country
To these elements Of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the nterposition of the agta-
tons of Europe. After nearly forty years Of peace
in Europe there is an evident restlessness that
now seems fraugh with tendencies threatening
war; and if war comes, in all likelihood there will
follow such universal change that the United States
can scarcely hope to escape its vortex. Indeed
from late events is apparent that our government
Is already drawn into European difficulties. These
circumstances calculated 10 draw the public
mind towards the next Congress with much ex.
pectaton. III &&at 4N
