The Austro-Hungarian monarchy may truly be
called realm Of infinite variety and OF unexpected
surprises Before 1865 Austria was q bundle OF ma
tonaitties, languages and religions held together by
the stern will Of the House Of Hapsburg. After the
crushing defeat Of Sadowa 1t was found that the
bundle was too large to be kept together by the
strongest bands. Venice was cast out entirely and
the empire divided Into two parts. So Pesth was
given the task Of managing the populations east OF
the river Letha, or what Is known In history as the
Crown OF ST. Stephan, now usually called Translei.
thania or the country beyond the Lcitha. To Vienna
assigned the government OF the populations west
OF the Leitha, or Ciseithania BY this arrangement
which Count Beust effected With the Hungarians It
may be said that o new form OF government has
been introduced into the world. Casarlsm, oligar-
chies, constitutional monarches, considerations,
have all had their day, and some Of them have It
still. But this is, believe the 1rst time In history
that dualism has found an organized and
acknowledged political existence. In the philoso
phcal and religious systems Of all races, both civil
lied and savage, dualism has found place. The
Ormuzd and Arimanes Of the ancient Perstans are
known to every student. The ancient Slavonic
nations had their bright and their black gods. The
Indians OF America and the tribes OF Africa have
their duastic system OF delties also. The majority
worship the benevolent deity but there are
some who worship the black and malevOlent one.
