DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

This city Of Des Moines is fast be-
coming the mecca for the colored visi-
tors during this summer. Their long
pilgrimage to this great city is to see
and visit the great U. S. army select
officers training camp for colored
commissioned officers, the first of its
kind ever held in this world and the
first real opportunity for the Negro
to demonstrate his ability and eff
cheney in military science, hence so
many of our able and highly educated
men have entered this school as ca
diets, hoping within the short time of
three months to pass a sufficient ex-
animation that is ordinarily required
at the end of four years in West Point.
Therefore the colored people are anxi-
Gus to see these 1880 students and to
aid and encourage them than to see
them in real action. We are glad to
have these distinguished visitors to
come here. We welcome you here and
while here call at the Bystander Of

VETERAN EDITOR HONORED.
William n. Steward Given L.. o. Dc.

Normal, Ala newspaper man Is
sometimes treated to a taste Of the
good things he hands out so prodigally
to others. 1t is especially fitting to
hand out nosegays to journalists when
they belong to that revered class Of
race builders Of which William II.
Steward is a conspicuous example. Mr..
Steward is the editor Of the American
Baptist, Louisville, Ky, where it has
enjoyed q continuous existence since
1870. This makes Mr.. Steward practi-
cally the dean Of Journalism among US.
The late Booker r. Washington once
styled Mr.. Steward as the races great
est layman," pensmith always with
preachers.
At the A. and NJ college here Mr.
Steward recently delivered the Found
ers' day address, and, although the
speaker mCdestly disclaimed all pre-
tensions to being an orator, the speech
was pronounced by faculty, trustees
and student body to have been one Of
| the most practical, helpful and inspir-
ing deliverances heard in the south
land:in many a day.
The authorities Of the school united
in request to have Mr.. Steward re-
turn for the recent commencement ex-
ercises, but business enga gements made
this impossible. Nevertheless in his
absence the board Of trustees and fac
ulty conferred upon him the honorary
degree Of doctor Of laws, an unusual
compliment. The degree Of A. M.
was conferred upon Mr.. Steward some
years ago.

and substitution Of excise or consump-
ton: taxes on sugar, coffee, tea and
cocoa
Reduction of the House increases Of
takes on cigars, cigarettes and all 9TH
er tobacco products from about 100
per cent to so per cent. with no esti-
mated reduction in the s1s.2Oo.Oo0 de-
signed to be brought in under the house
rates
Elimination of the taxes of five per
cent. on consumers electric light and
power gas and telephone bills, esti-
mated by the House to raise in all
$50. 600, 900.
The committee, however. proposes to
retain the tax on telegraph and long
distance telephone messages.
Elimination of taxes on all insur-
ance involving revenue loss OF $5,000,-
600
Addition of a new per pound tax on
confectionery estimated to raise from
SIC. O00. 600 to s15,O00,00O to be paid by
manufa cturcrs.
Reduction of taxes on soft drinks
and their ingredients to make the to-
tai levy about s15,000,000 instead of
$50. 10000
Survey Today
With these phases of its task decid
cd upon, the committee arranged to
have Chairman Simmons and treasury
department experts make survey to-
morrow of its work to date to ascer-
tain whether further changes are nee
essary to arrive at a bill roughly to-
falling S1.500.O00, 900.
Secretary McAdoo today urged Sen
ator Simmons and other committee
members to bring out bill levying
near the $1,000 100000 total Of the
House. but committee sentiment was
said to be virtually in favor of pro-
viding through short term bonds any
money needed in excess Of 81 500 900
900.
The committee fixed the new excise
tax on sugar at 2 cent a pound and
that on cocoa at three cents a pound,
estimated to yield respectively $45.-
900. 900 and s7.O00,000. Coffee and tea
rates were not definitely determined,
but it is estimated they will remain

as fixed by the House bill. Taxes on
sugar, cocoa. coffee and tea will be
paid directly by importers or manu-
facturcrs. though ultimately probably
by the consumer.
The excise taxes were adopted by the
committee as a substitute for the general
10 per cent. tariff increase Of the House.
i is estimated that the revenues would
be somewhat less than the s3Oo.0C0.o00 es-
timated from the proposed tariff levy and
they may reach only sl5O.ooOOoo.
