The term muckrakers was used to refer to reformist American journalists who attacked political leaders and instutions for their corrupt practices during the Progressive Era. Most of these journalists were popular due to their publications in popular magazines.
<u>Lincoln Steffens and Claude Wetmore wrote an article about St Louis in 1902 in McClure's Magazine. </u>
They wrote about how paradoxical was that people constinously showed pride in St Louis, and how this contrasted with the awful image of the city. They pointed out how people in St. Louis claimed to have very wealthy inhabitants, together with the best banks, industries, etc., but how at first sight it was possible to observe uncared-for streets, dirty alleys, a filthy hospital, the unfinished construction repairs in the town hall, etc.
Answer:
William "Boss" Tweed ran the Democratic party machine in 19th century New York City called Tammany Hall and was eventually convicted of corruption and embezzlement of government funds.
Tweed and his accomplices committed about $30 million to $200 million in fraud. It was only after a series of articles in the New York Times in 1871 that these practices came to an end. Tweed was indicted and in 1873 he was sentenced to an initial 12 years in prison. After serving one year, he was released but was immediately arrested again. A civil suit followed, but on December 4, 1875, Tweed managed to escape. He was eventually detained in Spain by the authorities there and extradited to the US where he would remain in prison until his death two years later.

Answer: I do not seem to find any question in particular to answer for; however I will try providing more information on the above topic.
An awn is an appendage that grows from the ear of plants such as barley, rye, and many types of wild-growing grasses . This part of the plant is a hairy and bristle-like casing around the actual seed.
The Grain in Ear, also known as Mangzhong, the ninth solar term, begins on June 6. The syllable "Mang" refers to the awn on the seed shell of cereal plants and "zhong" refers to harvesting and sowing, which happens at the same time. The beginning of the Grain in Ear means the grains are mature, so it is a solar term reflecting agricultural phenology.
Monday marks the start of the ninth Chinese solar term "Mangzhong," or "Grain in Ear." Literally meaning "busy planting," the term sets off a busy season for farmers. It is a busy period of harvesting summer wheat and planting rice at the same time. This period sees longest hours of sunshine in the year along with warm and humid ocean air, which brings frequent rainfall, providing much-needed heat and water for summer crops.
This is it for now. But if you want to know more about the 24 solar terms in Chinese calender, then below are written some extra information.
- Start of Spring ( Feb 4th ) : A dubiously premature name, as it's not the beginning of spring in most of China; only in the extreme south.
- Rain Water ( Feb 19th ) : There is an increase of rainfall from then on.
- Awakening of Insects ( Mar 5th ) : Thunder begins and hibernating insects wake up.
- Vernal Equinox ( Mar 20st ) : With an equal length of day and night.
- Clear and Bright ( Apr 4th ) : It is clear and bright [when it's not raining], and the weather becomes noticeably warmer. A misnomer, particularly in southern China.
- Grain Rain ( Apr 19th ) : The early crops show their shoots.
- Start of Summer ( May 5th ) : The beginning of summer [in southern China].
- Small Full {Grain} ( May 21st ) : The seeds of summer crops begin to become plump, but are not yet ripe.
- Grain in Ear ( Jun 6th ) : The wheat becomes ripe; and the summer planting starts [in southern China].
- Summer Solstice ( Jun 21st ) : The daytime is the longest and the night time is the shortest of the year.
- Minor Heat ( Jul 7th ) : The beginning of the hottest period.
- Major Heat ( Jul 23rd ) : It is the time of year when the duration of the sunshine is the longest, the average temperature is the highest, the rainfall is the greatest, and the thunderstorms are the most frequent [in some parts of northern China].
- Start of Autumn ( Aug 7th ) : An anomaly, nowhere is this true. Like the "start of spring" it is about a month premature.
- Limit of Heat ( Aug 23rd ) : The end of the hot summer.
- White Dew ( Sep 7th ) : The transition from summer to autumn. The temperature drops sharply, and the autumn rains come.
- Autumnal Equinox ( Sep 23rd ) : With an equal length of day and night.
- Cold Dew ( Oct 8th ) : The weather becomes cold enough to reach dew point, but not cold enough to reach frost point.
- Frost Descent ( Oct 23rd ) : The weather becomes cold and frost begins to form [in North China].
- Start of Winter ( Nov 7th ) : True of northern China, but winter comes later in the south.
- Minor Snow ( Nov 22nd ) : Snow begins to fall, the weather becomes cold.
- Major Snow ( Dec 7th ) : It snows heavily for the first time in the year [in northern China].
- Winter Solstice ( Dec 22nd ) : The daytime is the shortest and the night time is the longest of the year.
