II completes the ruin Of the hopes built on the
series of successes from Spalding to Southwark
Home Rule Lib rails really believed that they were
winning all along the line. They explained the
loss OF Winchester as due to local causes Ihey
hardened their hearts against the lessons OF Dul-
vjcb and Dundee They ignored Bristol, Liver
pool and HAMPSTEAD where no Liberal candlda'e
was started. Doncaster first woke them from
This deem dream of delight. They counted on
Deptford TO dspel the dismay which Doncaster
bad brought. And now Deptford dismisses their
man in circumstances which destroy their most
cherished Illusions
Trne. Dertford has been Tory. But its Tory
member rated, resigned, and carried over 10 the
Home Rule cause all his immense local influence.
MIR. Eyelyns support Of Mr. Bluntsis reckoned
20 have been worth a thousand votes. Mr. Blunt
Imprisonment gave him many sympathles ana
many ballots The Irish are numerous
Altogether Tories feared and Liberals believed
that Dcptford would transfer Mr.. Blunt from
Tuamore to Westminster. The poll was heavier
than had ever been known. Mr. Darlings majority
OF 275 is twice what his sangune supporters
hored
The Gadstonan organ discusses this defeat in
q tone Of profound detection. The Liberals
seemed to have believed that II they kept on win
ming bye-elections and shouting over them the
Government would go down hko the walls OF
Jericho. The Government had not the least idea
of doing anything of the kind, but their Irish
policy might no doubt have been more or less
modified had the country seemed disposed to pro-
nonncc against It. The Liberals mistook the
meaning Of their successes. Probably some OF
the constituencies deserted to express their dis
like Of Coercion in its rougher forms. But the
voters took fright when they heard the ex-
preston of this mild sentiment proclaimed as
reversal of their verdict against Home Rue.
The Pamelltes themselves believe that Dept
ford will have one very definite result Large
numbers Of evtctons impending More
than 5000 eviction notices. say the Irish, were
served by landlords during the last four months
OF Inst year. This was done under what the
tenants call the " eviction-made-easy' clause OF
the last Land Act. That clause enables land-
lords to evict by registered letter. The tenant
on receipt Of the letter Is ipso facto evlcted lie
then occupies exactly the position OF the tenant
who, under the old law had been evicted by pro-
cess and readmitted as carotaker during the SIX
months period Of redemption. The landlord at
the end of six months from service of notice may
tnrn him out. He is trespasscr. The landlord
has only TO take out a summons for trespass III
the tenant rcsists. the landlord may call in the
aid Of the police and troops.
The question Of the hour to the Parnellitcs Is,
VIII Mr. Balfour use force on the landlords side
They hoped that Deptford would answer that ques-
ton in the negative They now expect that Mr.
Balfour will regard this victory as direct enconr-
ngc1nent to pursue and even to strengthen the
policy he has heretofore followed. If he lends
troops to the landlords then according to the Tar
nelites, a new crisis will begin. There Will be
what they call bad work In Ireland The tenants
will resist even though resistance be hopeless. 80
their Parliamentary leaders are understood now
to be engaged in devising some scheme by which
this new danger may be dealt with
The excitement In London last night was such
as single election seldom occasions. The result,
expected at IL o'clock, was not known until aiter
midnight. The clubs were thronged by Impatient
groups People left the theatres between the acts
IN search Of news that did not come NewsDoys
drove good trade In I" extras which gave no
news Lady Charles Deresford had a smart party
in Eaton Square, which included many Ministers
and Ministers wives. Every newcomer was be-
seiged with questioners and the only question Was'

Wyndhams reception at the Criterion lhea1re'

The American Minister concludes in the March
Nineteenth Century" his exposition Of the United
States Constitution. 1t is judge. the most sue
cessfh effort yet made to impart TO the inteill-
gent Englishman sound views on the working OF
the American system of government. Mr. Ihelps
writes as lawyer but as lawyer who IS also
man Of the world and statesman. There is hou
much of pedantry in this elaborate paper, which
is from beginning TO end discussion, not of de-
tails but Of principles 1t is a grave, sustained,
reasoned eulogy upon the Constitution. Its his
tory is set forth, its development described, its
authority defined. The whole is in style which
is always lucid and often epgrammatic aud sem
tentious.
Mr. Wvndham and Miss Mary Moore made last
evening their first appearance III London since
their Continental tour, playing" David Garrlck' at
the Criterion Theatre 20 crowded and applaud
ing audience. The critics were of one MIND ana
the public also: that Mr.. Wyndham has never
playcd SO we'll His David Garrick' has been
from the first "a very remarkable piece of acting
lie plays it now with more concentration more
distinction. a better regard TO effects and with
far more complete delineation OF the TWO phases
of Garrck's' character in the great scene of the
second act. Miss Mary Moore. young and still
young TO the stage, has also gained much. The
reception given by Mr. Wyndham on the stage
after the play brought together some of the best
people In London. The Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, who present with Mrs Goschen' wei
coined Mr. Wyndham home again in speech
equally cordial and amusing Such a compliment

unique in the history of the British stage
