PATERNAL GOVERNMENT.
Bismarck ia transforming the Oer
man Empire into a paternal govern
ment A citizen of that country W
required to send hie children to
school n given length of time each
year, to make certain stipulated pro
visions for the comfort and support
of hit family, and to even required
to expend n part of his salary in n
life insurance policy. In fact Prince
Blemnrck hae taken upon himself
the smallest private affairs of the
German people, and makes the gen
eral government do nil the thinking
and planning for them. Such a pol
icy transforms the people into ma
chines, and can only result in low
ering their mental and governing
powers. This is doubtless the intent
and desire of Bismarck. He is
watching with alarm the growth of
republican forms of government and
seen that the best plan to defeat it
is to make mere dependents of the
inhabitants of hie kingdom, training
them to look to and rely only upon
their rulers for goidance snd-provi
sion. We can readily discern the
olear-sigbted wisdom of Bismarck’s
policy for Germany; but notice with
apprehension a tendency in our own
repnblic to ape him. There is not s
legislature or congress convenes but
that you Bee laws introduced or pass
ed looking to taking the control of
their private affairs from the hands
of the people, and regulating them
by law. This is particularly notice
able in the Northern States, but it
was not until the last session otpnr
legislature that a successful' effort
at paternal government *ras made in
Georgia. This first'step was the
of ajrilr stipulating the
employees in man-
M rk. We are op-
ch interference by
oor law-makers with the domestic
affairs or a free and intelligent peo
ple. The question oi hours of labor
should be left to the employers and
employees to settle, for they beet
know what will promote their hap
piness and interests. We believe in
man being a free agent, and let
bim manage Mb own private busi
ness as he sees fit and proper, so that
he does not interfere' with the rights
or peace of otheis. A man should
feel that his home is his castle, and
he t king in his own household, with
his wife as queen.
There to no telling where this in
terference by a State with the pri
vate affairs of individuals will end,
if it is not checked. In a few years
the law will dictate to a man how
often he shall change his shirt, wash
his children’s faces, or take a dose of
medicine.
Let every intelligent man think
and act for himself, and be responsi
ble only to liimselt for the success or
failure of his individual affairs. Just
so long as he provides for and treats
with love and kindness his dependent
family, and obeys the laws of bis
country, he should be left free and
independent. A paternal govern
ment has a tendency to degenerate
and make dependents of a people.
This won’t suit oor American re
public. We want to raise up a stout
hearted, self-reliant race, who will
be able to meet and cope with the
world wherever their lot is cast.
plenty for U to feed upon.
AgaiD, wc all confess that it is
important to begin a permanent sys
tem of improvement on oar streets,
or the thousands expended annually
in shitting dirt is that much money
thrown away. It will be doable work
aud expense to toy sewers after our
avenues ate paved, for they would
have to be torn np and the work
done over again. Now to the time to
boild sewers, and the sooner com
menced the better for both oar city
and the tax payers.
A private company stands ready
to bnild sewers in Atheos whenever
the council will give them a fran
cblse ; bat we do not want this val
uable right te pass from the city.
There to a handsome profit to be
reaped from sewers, and Athens
should receive it. We made a se
rious mistake in permitting stran
gers to bnild onr water works, and it
will be a still greater error to let the
contract for sewers pass out of onr
hands. So far from increasing tax
ation, sewers will prove a source of
revenue to the city, for those who use
them will pay all cost and expense.
There is not a family in Athens bat
will gladly pay the small assessment
necessary to have such a great con
venience at hand.
Sewers will save time, health, doc
tor’s bills, and even life itself.

NOT A USELESS BATTLE-
Says a blundering Republican
newspaper, says the Chicago Herald,
which dislikes very much to acknowl
edge the greatness and goodness of a
democrat: -The blood shed at the
battle of New Orleans was wasted
blood.” It was nothing of the sort.
No other battle that the Americans
ever fonght with a foreigu foe was of
greater value than that of New Or
leans. Because it was wngered af
ter the treaty of peace bad been
signed it was perhaps natural for all
ill-informed persons to imagine that
the battle was useless, bat it had an
effect which was lasting and which
will never be effaced. It proved to
England the prowes of Americans in
arms, and it made England assume
toward the United States an atitnde
which, treaty or no treaty, it nevir
would have observed without just
such a drubbing as General Jackson
gave to its army under Pakenham at
New Orleans.
Moreover, news of the battle of
New Orleans, though it was fought
after the treaty of peace had been
signed, went in company with news
of the treaty all over the world, and
the moral effect of snch a victory was
of prodigious valne to America.
That great.triamph made a war
which, througn New England’s luke
warmness, had been almost a failure
a glorious success, and more than
anything else np to that time, it
made the young republic respected
by the nations of the earth.
The newspaper that speak* of the
battle of New Orleans as t useless
struggle probably gets its history
from the American Iron and Steel
Association's tariff primer, in whiob
it is taught that, John having six
apples and Johnathan haying none,
if Johnathan takes away three of
John’s apples both are enriched and
the wealth of the family is therefore
increased.

SEWERS FOR ATHENS.
The people of Athens will soon be
called upon to decide whether or not
onr city shall have sewers. We be
lieve that sewers will be voted for by
a decided majority, as onr citizens
ate now thoroughly convinced of
their vital importance. Aside from
their convenience,they are demanded
as a sanitary measure. With only
surface draining, the filth from a
large section of the city is carried by
every rain into the factory pond, and
whenever the water is lowered the
hot summer sun rays distill from it
malaria that is distributed over a
large territory, producing fever and
other sickness. With sewers, this
drainage would be conveyed below
the dam, and carried away by the
swift current of the river. Then by
giving the pond a chance to wash
out at some lime when the factory

THE DAILY BANNER.
We point with pride to the im
proved news service of The Daily
Banker. W bile we do not publish
as large a sheet as some of the big
city dailies, at the same time we do
claim that we give equally as much
and as fresh news as the best. If
you will compare the telegraphic col
nrnns of The Banner with those of
the Constitution or any morning
daily, it will be seen that we are
seldom left on an item of news, un
less it happens at a late hour at night.
We receive daily papers from all the
large cities of the country, and our
facilities for getting news is unsur
passed. Id fact, The Banner is of
ten ahead of its cotemporaries. But
we do not propose to stop here, but
will give Athens an organ of which
onr citizens can lastly boast.
