so too a few weeks prior TO his nomination
BY the Baltimore Convention, he said, in a
public address delivered at Poughkeepsie,

THE OUTLOOK.

The new settlers, in the frontier counties
Of Kansas. have rather gloomy prospec,
before them. With chinch-bugs, grasshop-
pers and drouth, their crops this year have
in most cases proved insufficient for home
consumption. The old farmers those who
are "well 6xed," though they may have
nothing to sell, have en- abundance to sup
ply their own ants Till harvest comes again
but the new comers-those who have been
depending upon their sod crops for the
wherewiihal to fed themselves and families
till the next crop is matured, regard the
coming winter with very serious forebod.

A sUPERFLUOUs CHURCH.

Tie Westminster Presbyterian Church
building OF this city was sold few days ago
by the sheriff, and brought little over
eight thousand dollars-the balance due the
contracting builders, by whom it was bid in.
The law of supply and demand is inexora-
BILE, and seems to have no more respect Tor
meeting houses than for soap factories, and
whenever the supply OF the one OF the other
exceeds the demand the consequence is the
same. We have had too many churches IL
Leavenwor,h, and have too many yet take
out two or three of the larger societies, and
Ka!loch's church, or kincaid's, would ac-
commodaie any half-dozen of the Others.
There Is no sense or reason in trying TO
build or maintain big establishment for
every handful OF worshippers. One strong,
healthy society, able 10 pay its debts with
out embarrassing itself, and at the
same time support first class min
minister, can do more good than dozen
weskly churches, crushed down with debt,
devoured with petty jealousies, and strug-
Cling to support dozen half starved preach
ers that won't draw We have been oil
the opinion for some time, that the sheriff
would he the most profitable laborer that
the Lord could put into this corner OF his
vineyard, and any one who will take the
trouble to note the number of churches in
town, and the trouble that some Of them
have to go through in order to get along,
will agree with US.
1t is not known yet what the new proprie-
,ors of the Westminster intend to do with
their church, but Leavenworth really needs
frst-class place of amusement, and as this
house would be well adapted to the purpose,
being one Of the largest and best buildings
in the State, we trust they will make a
theatre OF il. 1t is little TO one side Of the
center of the town, but 20; too much to be
out of the way, and is readily accessible
from all quarters. Such disposition of the
property. We believe, would pay.
