Description: Mark Twain describes the fragile government at the end of the 19th century.
"Stirring Times in Austria" by Mark Twain [This article first appeared in Harper's New Monthly Magazine for March, 1898 (Volume 96), pp. 530-40.] I. THE GOVERNMENT IN THE FRYING-PAN Here in Vienna in these closing days of 1897 one's blood gets no chance to stagnate. The atmosphere is brimful of political electricity. All conversation is political; every man is a battery, with brushes over-worn, and gives out blue sparks when you set him going on the common topic. Everybody has an opinion, and lets you have it frank and hot, and out of this multitude of counsel you get merely confusion and despair. For no one really understands this political situation, or can tell you what is going to be the outcome of it.
