Elm Grove Railroad.
EdItOn Intelllgencer.
Petitions numerously signed have been
presented to the Legislature, asking that
the right to use steam may be granted TO
the Elm Grove Railroad Company.
1t is probable that many persons have
signed these petitions without considering
the results sure to follow il such a grant
no made.
asa general proposition We are all in
favor Of steam railroad. Tic desire for
rapid transit is universal with the Aneri.
eau people. They are unwilling to spend
an hour in going four or five miles Il any
means can be devised for accomplishing
tho distance in half the tlme.
Taking advantage Of this feeling a direct
or Of the railroad seeking this privilege,
writes out petition and starts ont to get
signers. lie meets a friend aud says, ''are
yon in favor Of steam on the Elm Grove
Railroad% "Weare petttioning the Leg
stature to lot US use steam on our road"
The natural answer will be Eyes, Of
ooursp am" Well then sign this pc,
tltion-and the name is given at once aud
without hesitation; and so names can be
had to almost any extent, the signels
never thinking that such grant could
work practical exclusion from the use OF
the turnpike to tho great numbers Of those
who now pass ov0r It, II such an idea
occurred the number OF signcrs would be
much less, indeed many would DO mort
likely to sign circumstances against grant
ing any such privilege, and yet that sucl
a result must follow Is most certain. HorsC
travel must diminish and disappear OF
routes where steam Is used. Horses car
not DO safely used along side OF steam
But these directors Of tho railroad tell u
! that they design using Dummy engines
which will not brighten horses. Il ma
safely be said that no such machine has d
/ yet been invented. Gentlereader did yo

Mill undoubtedly believed in "reno.
waited social fabric" combining "the best
parts OF both the old and the new" He
remarks that It requires generation for
tho making Of social changes which are
not affected by physical violence, and We
thought This was in 1850 that the rcnova-
ton Of the social fabric must be accom-.
plshed at theend Of the generation which
was beginning then or that violence must
ensue. He saysthis SO calmly that one is
Immediately impressed with the weight
and dignity OF his prophecy. The required
