The local authorities, with Governor-General Drenteln at their head, who was a reactionary and a fierce Jew-hater, were aware not only of the imminence of the pogrom, but also of the day selected for it, Sunday, April 26. As early as April 23 a street fight took place which was accompanied by assaults on Jewish passers-by a prelude to the pogrom.
Reading extracts from German and Austrian newspapers, he brought out the fact that the Central Powers regarded Stürmer as a member "of those circles which look on the war against Germany without particular enthusiasm"; that Stürmer's appointment to the Foreign Ministry was greeted in the Teutonic countries as the beginning of a new era in Russian politics, while the dismissal of Sazonov produced in the Entente countries an effect "such as would have been produced by a pogrom."
As far back as in the autumn of the first pogrom year Lilienblum published a series of articles in which he interpreted the idea of Palestinian colonization, which had but recently sprung to life, in the light of a common national task for the whole of Jewry.
Time and again the Greeks would scare the Jews during the Christian Passover by their barbarous custom of discharging pistols in front of their church, which was situated in the heart of the Jewish district. But in 1871, with the approach of the Christian Passover, the Greeks proceeded to organize a regular pogrom.
Here and there it became necessary to shoot at these human beasts, and some of them were wounded or killed. The rapidity with which the pogrom was suppressed on the second day showed incontrovertibly that if the authorities had only been so minded the excesses might have been suppressed on the first day and the crime nipped in the bud.

'But the eldest perhaps with a smaller dowry 'To tell the truth, Panie Tinowitz, it was the landlord who turned my head with false hopes. I came here not to promote marriages, but to prevent funerals! The corn-factor gasped, 'Funerals! 'A pogrom is threatened 'Open not your mouth to Satan! reprimanded Tinowitz, growing livid. 'If you prefer silence and slaughter said David, with a shrug.
We will make a collection, and the president of the Kahal shall go at once to the Governor, and present it to him' here Mendel winked 'to enable him to take measures against the pogrom. 'The Governor is in the plot, said David. 'He can be bought out, said the timber-merchant. 'Pogroms are more profitable than presents, rejoined David drily.
Soldiers were posted on the market place with wagon-loads of rods, and the rioters, caught red-handed, were given a public whipping on the spot. The "fatherly" punishment inflicted by the local authorities upon their "naughty" children sufficed to put a stop to the pogrom. As for the central Government in St.
After several vain attempts to stop the riots, the military was forced to shoot at the infuriated crowd, killing and wounding some of them. This was followed by the cry: "Christian blood is flowing beat the Jews!" and the pogrom was renewed with redoubled vigor. It was stopped only on the third day. The energy of the July pogroms had evidently spent itself in these last ferocious attempts.
