MR. WATSON, GOOD:BYE«
It is not worth while to dally with
Mr. Watson any longer. The Demon
cratic party has been too patient
with him hitherto. It is time to call
a halt.
When Mr. Watson made his first
speech against the Democratic party
in the State honse at Atlanta the
Banner hesitated to announce him
as traitorous to the faith of his De
mocratic fathers. A private letter
was written to Mr. Watson by the
editor of this paper asking him for
hisopinins in blaokand white forpnb-
lication. We published in response
to our inquiry Mr.Wat a on’s letter in
which he said he had been misquo~
ted and asked for patience at the
hands of the Democratic party of j ar « suffering from
1 of money, but be money
and he gives his reason lor the be-
lief. There is too much cotton be°
fore the factories, and too much
cloth stuffs on the counters of th
merchants now for cotton to go up in
price very consiberably. It may
even fall to a lower price.
We would emphasize Mr. Rucker’s
remedy for the situation. Here is
what he says:
“You aek me for a remedy for this
evil, and I give my opinion on it. There
are many remedies to be offered and
have been offered in the past. There is
only one thing that is absolutely nec
essary, and upon that proposition al
most every one will agree when they
look into the true st&te of affairs with
out passion or prejudice. The Cotton
Crop Must Be Reduced. There is no
doubt but that the people

ROMAN LAW AND JURISPRUDENCE,
A Gang Whose Regular Business wa-
Burning Houses. ., .
St. Paul, Dec. 3.—One of the mor
diabolical conspiraces ever concocted •
was brought to a focus here and culm: I
minated in the arrest of a gang of in-,
cendiaries who for over a year hav-
made a regular business of setting fire j
to nouses and stores in various parts oi ;
the city for the purpose of securing v ‘
part of the inshrance money. Th*- j
Bcheme Was unearthed by the clever .
work of Detectives Mason and Barne? j
of the Thiel agency, assisted by Hall
Floyd and Ben Finkelburg, brought
hero from St. Louis, who stood in with
the gang and nabbed them in the very
act of applying the'lighted match which
was intended to destroy property.
So long ago as Nov. 1 the insurance
agents of St. Paul became convinced
that many of the numerous fires here
were of incendiary origin. A meeting
of the agents was held, at which J.
Quincy Haas of the German Insurance
company was appointed to take charge
of the matter and detect the rascals if
possible. Ab a result of his work part
of the gang are now under arrest for
firing a building on the west side.
The plans of the detectives and insu
rance men were all laid. At 8:15 p. m.
Moritz Michael, in company with one
of the detectives, fired a building upou
which a policy of insurance had been
obtained by Floyd, the understanding
being that Michaels was to receive a
part of the insurances Floyd had al
ready trapped Moritz Michael into a
confession that he has burned five
houses in West St. Paul on the percent
age of insurance plan. One ot these
was that of his uncle, Max Michael.
The house fired is at the corner of
Water and Edward streets. A gasoline
stove stood in a corner of the kitchen
The gasoline had been turned on and a
pile of straw set by the stove. A light
ed candle was placed on a box in this
straw, and when it had burned a short
time it would ignite the pile. Michael
was arrested just as he had closed and
locked the outside door and was leaving
the house. The candle would have
burned for four hours when it was in
tended for the house, to bum. The
house was owned by'A. M. Lawson.
The fire department was called ou‘
promptly, and when they' arrived the
incendiary was under arrest.
Moritz Michael has also stated that
when he lived in Chicago, under the
name of John Myers, he made lots of
money setting fires. The detective-
have about 500 type-written pages oi
evidence secured against the gang.
Max Michael, an uncle of Moritz, was
also arrested as au accomplice , in the
business. He lives at 163 State street,
and Moritz has been living at 21 East
Fairchild avenue.

about six months ago to assume charge
of the bnsiness deportment of The

that ho was to retain the position only
until a permanent successor to Mr.
George W. Turner could be secured.
During the six months that Mr. Dillon
has been in charge of the publishing
office of Tlie World he has conducte i
the business of the paper with consider
able success. It bos uot been definitely
decided whether he is to return to St.

The World. Mr, M. J. Lowenstein and
Mr. G. H. Ledlie, who came from St.
Louis with Mr. Dillon, have uot yet
been assigned to other duties.
