Some readers have raised questions about the setting of this particular story.  When it was first published, it was wiser to let it be thought that it reflected events at the time of the first Professor Moriarty, rather than admit that this was the son of the elder’s cousin, whose reign within the criminal classes was still unfortunately in place.

Excellent idea, if someone depressing from the law's viewpoint.

the son of the elder’s cousin is a great touch.

Thank you. Holmes himself said there was a criminal strain in the Moriarty family - which seems to have come out once again.
