There were two grand armies of the Republic in yesterday's procession to Upper Asteria: the veterans who marched in front and the children who followed. Senator Beck died in the Washing ton railroad station, within a few yards ot the spot where President Garfield was shot nine years ago. The prohibitionists have already taken steps to repair the gap in their fence made by the supreme court de ciskra. Their plan is to pass a law which shall give a state the authority to prevent transportation companies from bringing liquor into that state from another state. The select com mittee of the house on the alcholic liquor traffic has already reported a bill Mr. Kerr, ot Iowa, makes the report At the time the committee considered the matter it was inspired bv the desire to find something to off set what is known as the Bowman de cision. The more recent decision of the Keokuk case gave the" prohibition ists additional reason for pressing the oilL TszColumbian man seems to have jjooe crazy. He didn't have far to go.

Regarding opposition in Brooklyn to the proposition lo consolidate that city and New York into one munici pality, tlie New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger Avrites to that Journal ns follew: "But it is really dif ficult to understand why Brooklyn should be opposed to consolidation milli Xew York on cither sentimental or financial grounds. Is Brooklyn so uch better governed than New York that she should desire independence? Are not her streets dirtier and poorer than even those in this city? Is not her tax rate higher, and isn't she un der the dominion ot a ring fully as b&d as Tammany Hall? Look at the figures: Brooklyn has an estimated pop ulation of S33,000, New York of 1,800, 000. Brooklyn's tax rate is 2.94, while Ner York's is only 1.93. Brooklyn's boBded debt is $40,402,203, or about $4.94 per capita ot population. In this she has the advantage ot New York, trhose debt is 96,999,281, or about $5.39 per capita. This advantage is counter-balanced, however, by the greater value of New York's real property, which amounts to $1,G03, S33,113, or about SS.90 per capita of population, while Brooklyn is $42S, 4S3,6S1, or only S5.13 per capita. Thus Brooklyn would gain rather than lose by the consolidation with New York. Her citizens would become in name, a3 veil as in tact, citizens of the metropolis, and the united municipal ity "would, next to London, become tfee greatest and richest in the world. It is noticeable that editorial comment oa this is decidedly in favor of consolidation.-1 Captain John O'Brien was in The Astorian oflice yesterday looking at the parade go by. As the veterans filed past, he said "There's a man I haven't seen for twenty years." pointing to Major E. A. Weed. "The first time I saw him," said the captain, "was under trying circum stances. It was at Golden Farm in the great Seven Days fight in the early suninier of 'G2. 3Iy company was supporting a battery but we had fallen back, and I stopped to give the confederates the benefit of three or four remaining cartridges. There was one gun left, a 30 pounder, that if fired would do good execution. I called upon the members of the com pany of a New York regiment to help serve the gun. The first to respond was your present city editor. As he seized the sponge staff" a bullet struck him in the leg and he felL Ho was captured and laid in Libb prison for a long while. It w.is twenty years" after that I met him in California the second time, and now wo meet again for the third time in our lives. Bigelow, one ot the editors of the Orcgonian, was in the next regiment, from Vermont, I think, that supported us that day. 'Tis twenty-eight years ago, but "the circiunstanco seems as fresh in my memory, as though it took place yesterday." NEW TO-DAY. ASTORIA LEFT OUT. A Specimen of the U. P. Unfairness.

Trial toetMac free at J."W. Conn's drugstore. Rem ember the Austin house at the Scaniilr is open tho year 'round. On the wall of Tux Astorian office hangs a poster printed in chocolate colored iulc It is about ten inches wide and three feet long and is got up by the Union Pacific Railroad com pauy to induce people to travel on their line to this country. It is a curiosity worth seeiug. It starts eff: "The Grand New Empire," and talks about Oregon and Washington, about the climate and the forests and all the rest of it and never says Astoria once. Little cross road stations are men tioned; places made up of three fam ilies and a yellow dog are given the prominence of caps, underscored; but nary a word about Astoria Such commercial centers as Riparia and Moscow are prominently set forth, but not a word of the seaport of Oregon, and on the back is a big map, an "authentic one," Kalama and Rainier and Jewell and Vernonia are there, but there wasn't room for Astoria. t's on a par with the rest of the U. P. management No wonder Chas. Francis Adams is mad and is going to fire some of the silly gang who haven't sense enough to get out a decent map of the road and its con nections.
