Why is 1t that the republican leaders in the Ninth

a combination Of all these causes? With them every
thing they discuss they describe "hellish"

confusts it with irony, sarcasm. Although an

As we understand satire, it is the real thing
Irony. with 4the same intendmcnt, pictures the

the false Sarcasm is like unto it, the sign post
to radical aud rational thinking. Both proceed
from the principle Of red,tct'o I'D dbsurdam.
Neither attempts to do what satire does Neither
is 50 lost to modesty that it dons the robe of
satire.
Satire is the blunt truth. 1t is purgatives in
pleasant pellets 1t is nevertheless drastic medi-
cine 1t depends on thought conviction, purpose
instead Of tiippant wit, and plagaristic ridicule
Its reward is thought instead of laugh. II
cuts, instead of tickling. It is literature, in
stead of the grimace and the counterfeit of art
exposed in the market place by the mountebanb
