THE INDIAN QUESTION.

[AS VIEWED IN THE WEST.]

This is _our_ business, understand!
You Eastern folks, with tempers bland
All get your views at second-hand.

We are the ones that take the brunt
Of every lively Indian-hunt,
So don't be angry if we're blunt.

If any body's scalped it's _us!_
So we've a well-earned right to cuss,
And you've _no_ right to make a fuss.
