The article focuses on the politics and government in the United States. It uncovered a long series of governmental blunders. The order dated from January 16, but the mischief dated from months back. Men of experience in the coal trade gave repeated warnings to the Administration. But they were smilingly disregarded. The talk now is of the blizzard having deranged all plans. But the real blizzard struck the Administration last summer and buried it under drifts of ignorance, complacence, and short-sightedness.
