A PRETTY QUARREL AS IT STANDS. (From the Rrooklyn ICagle.) For perhaps tho hundredth occasion In thirty years, It Is well to repeat In these columns what Henry J. Rnymond said in the prospectus of the New York Times, when he irsued Its first r.umbnr: "There are very few mattTB In this world worth petting angry about, and they are precisely tho matters which Mit;or docs not help." Well, Charier F. Murphy Is angry with Manor MiClellan, nnd shows It to day. Manifestly, anger has not helped Charles F. Murphy, and has not hurt Mayor Mcdellatv. Tho mayer said, lately, that he had found he could rot wisely co-operate with Tammany, so long a Charles F. Murphy wajs the head nf It. fin added that he was friendly to Tammany nnd wished for it better leadership and ,a letter reputation than Charles F Murphy rnuld give to it. Had Mr. Murphy remained silent and krpt on leading Tammany, he would have put upon the mayor the Iniputiition of a personal attack, which In politics always hurts him how makes it, If tho maker of It Is not rrplifd to. nut Mr. Muiphy to-day shows that he Is mail, "rlfan through" nt Mr. McClellan and says that l.e made him, that Mr. Mc Clellan long I'beyed Mm, and that he never asked Cie mayor to do anything wrong, and dffla Uk mayor to prove It.
