rReporter-In your opinion have
any land league funds been employed
for promoting disorder In Ireland as
alleged1
Sheridan--Such presumption can
only emanate from one Of two sources,
viz: Either total ignorance Of the
Land League policy and ito leaders, or
Ill concealed desire TO ~disparage both.
Rsporter--Have you distributed any
money In Ireland during your dis.
guised sojourn there2 estl
Shtrldan--I have. When Forster
charged l was engaged In fomenting
disorder, l was occupied In bringing
succor to men, women and children
whom he left without homes or q
moisel to eat. One case lie notewor.

stricken district In Muneter, I discov-
cred fourteen evicted families forced
to seek shelter on Ohristmss day un.

coast Of Kerry. Their tender babe
aud aged grandsire had to look for
manifestations Of those ".idings of
great joy" which Christian men are
wont to associate with that holy
season. Telegraph wires flashed a
word of cheer to the reverend pastors
Of the district, and the next post took
some relief for the victimsof Forster's
law. You will please note this as q
sample of the outrages committed by q
man in the disguise of u prieet."
