The daily herald. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1886-1887, 1886-09-02

Of Mr. Spreckels shertly before he left,
came to the conclusion that the king
dom could get along without further
borrowing at present; that the arrival
of the English agent with profers of
money to be loaned on the credit Of
this nation, revived the eager dream Of
prosperity from the introduction of
millions OF foreign capital, which was
cherished in the most powerful lobe Of
the native Hawaiian brain during the
recent electoral campaign; that the
efIecting of an arrangement, to the end
just stated, with an English house,
would ensure the liquidation of the
debt largely incurred without author
ity of law--due Mr.. Spreckels' house,
thus emancipating the country fron
the domination of Ministers foisted on
the nation by the house, and giving
the court party full swing for carrying
out what may be termed the native
Hawaiian idea, and that it was to avert
these results that the Ministry endeav-
ored to delay the passage Of the loan
bill until it was too late to be Of
service, when forced to take it up al
most Immediately after their dropping
it deliberately. Anyway, the Ministry
have on this question made one of the
most humiliating exhibitions Of vacilla-
ton and trimming which has ever
been furnished in constitutional gov
ernment. Had the Ministry adhered
to the policy SO unmistakably defined
by Mr.. Gibson only few days before
Mr.. Kaulukou insisted on having the
loan bill taken up, they would have
earned the respect of men who admire
consistency and independence. But
they preferred even the desperate
chance of retaining office rather than
retirement with honor. There is more
to be said about this loan business, but
want of space forbids at this writing.

a 'Possum Dinner

On New Years day, Blessing & Guthrie,
of the Capital Hotel, served up, in ''real ole
Nirsinny style eight 'possums that had
been shipped 10 them from southern Mis-
souri,, by that chief OF possum hunters and
Sacramento joker, Thomas l.. Acock. The
invited guests were of the class known as
"old-timers," and as they fed on the tooth
some Missouri birds, they told many a
yarn relative as to how they used to catch
them. The following is a fair sample of
the dinner table talk
:" ! used to hunt him years ago when was
young. There is som ething very picturesque
and piquant about 'possum or coon
hunt. a 'possum hunt differs from all
other hunting in that good 'possum hunt
er does not use his gun at ALL A postum
or coon dog-a thin, NANCY, cur-like dog
and big torch are all that he needs. The
hunting is always at night The dog finds
the postum and trees him-usually in a
persimmOn tree. Then the hunter climbs
up, torch in hand, ard grabs the 'possum.
The light of the torch dazzIes the ewes of
the 'possum, and his instructive stimulation
OF death makes it easy to catch him. The
hunter must take care that the possun
does not fail to the ground. If it does.
there will be q fight-not between the dog
and the 'possum. but between the dog and
his master for possession of the pos
