The triumph OF the revolutionists

died in 1888 he enjoined upon his

atives Maria found this harder to
do than to say. because the people.
whom Fernando had prosecuted had
rallied TO Don Carlos, who claimed the
throne under the Salic law; and the
queen regent found it difficult to MAIN
tain her position without their support.
Then followed a long civil war. in
which Don Carlos pretensiOns were
disposed of. but the despOtic leanings
of the queen were so at variance with
the democratic views of the party
which supported her. that Spain was
plunged into a period of turbulence.

The threatened secession Of Cuba

TO the nation as a whole this was de-

Spain has been second only to
France in the turbulence of its history
and the regularity with which wars
and revolutions have stripped it of its
youth and its territories and altered
its form of government.
The last great upheaval was that
which resulted in three different forms
of republic and a military dictatorship,
in the stormy years which preceded
the restoration in 1876 of the monarchy
with Alfonso XII as king.

Letters From The People
DEsIRE .CoNcRETE cuRRs

Editor Call:
Owing to considerable misunder-
standing of the position of the San
Bruno avenue Improvement club in re-
gard to the proposed new ordinance
relative to concrete curbing we feel
our position should be made clear to
the public.
In the first place. we have no desire
to antagonize any public officials or
corporate bodies.
We have only the good of our dis
trict and all the outlying districts of
the city and county of San Francisco
in mind. When our sewers are laid
we will have nearly 40 miles of side
walk curbing to be constructed. Under
present conditions the cost of granite
curbing would be about $2S0,00O. while
the cost of concrete curb with gutter
attached would be about $4,000, thus
saving the community $21O,00O.
The durability and service of concrete
are unquestioned in the cities that sur
round US, and offer an fnducement for
our residents to go there and live
We consider the great saving and
beautiful appearance of concrete to be
the solution of the suburban upbuild-
ing problem of our city.
We therefore desire the cooperation
of all civic and Improvement clubs to
aid us in this work
Thanking you for the use of your
valuable space, am, sir.
