THE OLD AND THE NEW.

The year 1885 was perhaps the most
| exciting, the most interesting and the
most distressing ever known in Utah
The twelve months have been crowded
full OF excitement and trouble; official
malice and judicial outrage have run
riot, and their victims have been many.
The community has been stirred and
afflicted as never. before, and never In
an equal space of time has there been so
much suffering of mind and body. In
the future the year just closed will be
looked back upon as one of gloom, sor-
rows, terrors, Injustice, abuse OF power
and the outrage of law; as year
which tried men 5 souls and bodies, and
brought more or less distress and an
guish to the great majority OF families
throughout the Territory; and yet,
as year which few would
have blotted from their existence
or memories. If it has had its evils and
abuses, its pains and to1ments, its woes
and discomforts, it has also had its
pleasures and triumphs, its joys and its
victories men and women have suffered,
but they are the better for it; they have
been tortured, but they have endured,
and are none the worse for the inf1ic-
ton. They have risen in their own es-
timation, and their prosecutors have
gone down proportionately. There are
more brave, fearless, worthy and noble
men and women here than were to be
found twelve months ago; there are
fewer now who are discouraged, dis
heartened and broken in spirit than
were encountered at the beginning of
the year. We are glad that 1885 has
gone, but we are not sorry that it |
has been here.
The year upon which we have just |
entered is not glittering with bright |
promises for the people of Utah, nor is
it frowning with ugly terrors. The
worst has been reached and passed, is
the belief of those best qualified to
divine as to the future from noting the
past. 1t is not thought that another
such year as 1885 will ever af1ict Utah,
and the confident expectation is that
ere long the clouds of gloom which have
so long overhung this fair Territory
will clear away.
THE HERALD bids the dead year a
cheerful goodbye, and with light
heart and hopeful spirit, extends a
hearty welcome to the new.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1886-01-01

THE CHICAGO Times: "The Mormons
at Salt Lake who attempted to retaliate
upon the governmentofficials by charg-
ing them with immoral conduct of a
kind reached by the anti-polygamy law,
have been convicted of a conspiracy to
entrap them. Schemes of this kind
must necessarily fail, for government
officials are necessarily virtuous-even
ostentatiously yirtuous."
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1886-01-01
and the public must know that such
was the reason before it can justify him

and the PUBIC IL uSt know tnat such
was the reason before it can justify him
for going.
Out of regard for the critical condition
of the young man, the community has
been patient in the matter of asking an
explanation of the mysterious features
of that Saturday nights terrible affair
the large majority of the. people have
accepted it as matter of course that
McMurrin was blameless for what he
did on that occasion; that he had good
and sufficient explanation of why he
was in the alley, and that his explana-
ton would be forthcoming in good
time; the appearances have been against
him, yet the community has stood by
him. in the confident expectation that
he would clear himself from all sus-
picion of wrong-doing or wicked intent:
the community still stands by him, but
his disappearance now, unless he has
good excuse for it, and his continued
silence will have the effect of reversing
the popular impression and placing
him in anything but a commend
able light. We do not believe
McMurrin went into that alley for the
purpose of assailing Collin; we do
not believe he expected to meet Collin,
nor that he thought of Collin until he
saw the deputy; we believe the meeting
was purely accidental; but we also think
that either McMurrin or his friends
who are acquainted with the facts
should make full and complete explain
alton of things that are certainly |
mysterious. This much is owed to
McMurrin himself, against whom the
shadow of suspicion is deepening, and
1t is also due to that portion of the COM
munity which has persistently refused
to accept the story that he was in the
alley for an unlawful purpose. We
hope the young gentleman or
those who can do so, will speak out,
and throw light on what is now dark.
