LOUISIANA SECURITIES.
Forgery Added to Fraudulent Floating
of State Bonds.

Investigation by the Louisiana oficia Is and
parties largely interested in state securities
continues to develop new cases of fraud every
day. 1t now appears that forgery has been
added to the fraudulent floating of bonds on
the state, through the criminal carelessness of
the states servants.
In addition to the S303, 600 of consolidated
bonds upon which interest payments have
Just been stopped, and many OF which. pre-
sumaoiy all, lave been surreptitiously put
upon the market, instead of being cancelled.
there have been discovered in private hands q
number OF the per cents, known as constitu-
nonai bonds, that are clearly an over-issue
made in fraud. How the blank forms got out
OF the possession of the proper custodian; who
niied them up and affixed the signatures of the
governor and state treasurer may be disclosed
through the criminal courts
The fact 10 settled that, while the highest
legal issue OF the Sl00 series of these bonds is
No. ZO0 numbers at least az high as 242 are
outstanding; and of the $500 series, the total
limit OF which Is No. 80, as high as No. Sc are

THE CATHOLIC CONGRESS.
Arranging for the Entertainment-The
Centennial Illumination.

At a meetinl; Of Catholic laymen at Cardinal
Gibbons residence in Baltimore last evening
arrangements were made for entertaining dele
gates to the Catholic congress to be held in Bal
timore during the Catholic centennial celebra-
ton In November. The Catholic Benevolent
legion took upon itself the part of providing
luncheon for the delegates in the Concordia
opera house. On motion of Mr. Milton E.
Smith Of this city, the officers of the legion
were constituted a committee who are to take
entire charge Of this part of the entertainment
There was some discussion as to whether it
was desirable to have an illumination of only
the Catholic public buildings, churches, halls
schools and converts, rather than a general
illumination Of all the dwellings occupied by
Catholic families. Cardinal Gibbons said the
matter had been fully talked over at a recent
meeting OF the clergy. at which he was present
and that II was deemed advisable to ask every
Catholic family to illuminate on Monday night
November IL. There we're many and cogent
reasons for this, he said but il was not intended
that the Catholic public buildings were not to
be Illuminated in a fitting manner
Inc esiebration will begin on Sunday, No.
vemoer 10, with pontiheial high mass and
sermon at the cathedral. In the evening of
the same day there will be solemn vesp.rs and
sermon; Monday the Catholic congress will
meet at the Concordia and will be in session
two days Monday night Cardinal Gibbons
and the other prelates will hold a reception at
the Concordia between $50 and 8 o'clock, and
the general illumination will also occur The
big torchlight procession. with probably Is 900
men In line, wall take place Tuesday evening.
The ceremonies will close November I3 with
the opening OF the Catholic University of
America. The Catholic lait, Of this city will
hold a torchlight procession in the evening. in
which the Catholic societies Of Baltimore are
TO be invited to participate.
Cardinal Gibbons appointed the executive
and press committees to look after the arrange
:7ents OF tbs celebration. They are as follows:

committee stated that no final report
could as yet ne made, As the financial
and political questions are still to be
settled with the c. l.. u. Debate
was had, some Of the delegates urging
immediate action, while others were in
favor of delay; one even spoke un-
reservedly against amalgamation with
the G. l.. u, but his remarks seemed to
find little favor with the delegates The
matter was then dropped for the pres
ent.
The Committee on Organization re-
ported that there was good prospect of
uniting the Bakers and Confectloners'
Unions of New York City under the
jurisdiction of the Journey men Bakers

The Boycott Committee reported ia

against pool brewer Kunz, and that
Kunz would probably soon make his
peace with the Journeymen Brewers

The secretary was instructed to ask

PLATFORM.

The Socialist Labor Party of the
United States, in convention assembled,
reasserts the inalienable right of all
men to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
With the founders of the Ameri-
can republic we hold that the pur-
pose of government is to secure ev-
cry citizen in the enjoyment of this
right; but in the light Of our social con-
ditions we hold, furthermore, that no
such right can be exercised under a sys-
tenn of economic inequality, essentially
destructive Of life, OF liberty, and Of
With thei founders of this repub-
lie we hold that the true theory of
politics is that the machinery of gov
ernment must be owned and controlled
by the whole people; but in the light of
our industrial development we hold,
furthermore, that the true theory of
economies is that the machinery of
production must likewise belong to the
people in common.
To the obvious fact that our despotic
system of economics is the direct oppo-
site of our democratic system of poll
tics, can plainly be traced the existence
Of privileged class, the corruption of
government by that class, the alienation
Of public property, public franchises
and public functions to that class, and
the abject dependence of the mightiest
of nations upon that class.
Again, through the perversion of de-
mocracy to the ends of plutocracy, labor
is robbed of the wealth which it alone
produces, is denied the means of self
employment, and, by compulsory idle
ness in wage-slavery, is even deprived
of the necessaries of life.
Human power and natural forces are
thus wasted, that the plutocracy may
rule.
Ignorance and misery with all their
concomitant evils are perpetuated, that
the people may be kept in bondage.
Science and invention are diverted
from their humane purpose to the en-
slavement of women and children.
Against such system theS. l.. P. once
more enters its protest. Once more it re-
iterates its fundamental declaration that
private property in the natural sources
of production and in the Instruments of
labor is the obvious cause of all eco
nomic servitude and political depend
ence; and
Whereas, the time is fast coming when,
in the natural course Of social evolu-
ton, this system, Through the destruc-
tive action of its failures and crises on
the one hand, and the constructive ten

Resolved, that we call upon the peo-
pie to organize with view to the sub
sttution of the cooperative common
wealth for the present state of plan
less production, industrial war and So
cial disorder; a comm onwealth in which
every worker shall have the free exer-
else and full benefit Of his faculties,
multiplied by all the modern factors of
civilization.
We call upon them to unite with us
in mighty effort to gain by all prac-
ticable means the political power.
In the meantime, and with view to
immediate improvement in the condi-
ton of Labor, we present the following
