Debates in both branches of Congress, as taken
down by reporters, equal, at least, to any corps
of short hand writers in this or any other

able to report verbatim, ten thousand words
an hour while the average number OF words
spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven
thousand five hundred words an hour. Wheh
the debates of a day do not make more than
forty columns. they shall appear in the Daily
Globe the next morning, which will contain,
also the news of the day, together with such
editorial articles as may be suggested by pass
