OPINIONS ON "THE TIMES" CASINO FEARS
FOB THE FUTURE.


FOB THE FUTURE.
The chief topic Of conversation at the dinner
of the Irish Home Rule Club last evening, which
was attended by large number OF prominent
Irishmen. was the failure of The Times's7 case.
They all talked Of II, and talked of IL in man
ner so emphatic as TO leave no room for doubt
that the failure OF the prosecution would bring
forth redoubled support for Parnell from this side
of the water. Michael Giblin, whose opinions in
Irish matters carry much weight, said:
1t is a great triumph, and it is all the more
Welcome in that IL comes just at time when
many good persons had begun TO express weari-
ness at contributing often and so generously
to the Home Rule cause without any apparent
satisfactory results. The long and patient wait
ing is now justified. The result Of the Pigott ex-
posure will be felt al around, but the immediate
effect will, in my opinion, be TO stay the rising
wrath of that extreme section of the
Irish revolutionary party in this country
who were beginning 10 lose patience.
/ must confess I was beginning to lose patience
and everybody who, like me, believed in the adop-
ton Of peaceful measures for the freedom OF
Ireland was also. This now is all changed; the
great English newspaper has been made a laugh
ing-stock for the sport even of its Tory friends;
and as for the Radical or Home Rule sections Of
the English people, their ranks will be swelled
by thousands from those who have hitherto from
prejudice and ignorance alike held aloof.'
Henry McAleenan who is a large contributor
to all Irish organizations especially TO the liof-
man House Committee, of which Eugene Kelly
is chairman, when asked if the Irish in America,
the revolutionary Irish, had now confidence in
ParnelPs methods, replied They have; they
