The Roman Church re- mains the state religion and controls politics. It depends upon the prevailing sentiment of the provincial and local author- ities how far the letter of the constitution can be executed or evaded. In 1879 the General Evangelical Alliance Confer- ence of Basel senta deputation to the Emperor Franz Josef I. In behalf of persecuted Protestants in Bohemia, and succeeded. Since 1867 Austria is a bipartite state of Austria-Hungary, with a double legislature and double cabinet. In... Austria proper, Romanism is still all-powerful. The government supports also Lutheran and Calvinistic ministers, but very scantily, and does not even admit the Protestant theological faculty of Vienna to a place in the corporation of the Uni- versity and the use of its magnificent building. In Hungary there is no state religion, and consequently more liberty. The Reformed (Calvinistic) Church is strong among the Magyars, and the Lutheran among the Germans ; but the Roman Catholic is richer and stronger than both.
