ILLINOISTERRITORY.The Illinois Territory was established by act of Congress, approved Feb. 3, 1809, whichprovided as follows :"That from and after the first day of March next, all that part of the Indiana Territorywhich lies west of the Wabash river and a direct line drawn from the said Wabash river andPost Viucennes due north, to the territorial line between the United States and Canada,shall, for the purpose of temporary government, constitute acalled "'Illinois.'separate territory, and beThe seat of government was fixed at Kaskaskia. The territorial government was continuedunder the first grade from 1809 until 1812, when by a vote of the people the secondgrade was adopted. Under the first grade, the Governor and Judges, who received theirappointment from the President, constituted the Legislative Council, and enacted laws forthe government of the people. The Governor possessed almost unlimited power in the appointmentof officers; the Secretary of the Territory being the only officer not appointed bythe Governor. Under the second grade, the people elected the Legislature, which was composed of a Legislative Council and a House of Representatives. The Legislative Council wascomposed of five members, and the House of Representatives of seven members.The Legislature enacted the laws for the government of the people, but the Governorwas possessed of the absolute veto power, and was therefore in a position to dictate thelaws, if he chose to exercise the power.The people also elected the Delegate to Congress by popular vote.TERRITORIAL OFFICERS.The following is a complete roster of territorial officers from 1809 until the organizationof the State government in 1818.

74 JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT.JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT.We are indebted to the late Norman L. Freeman, Esq., Reporterof theSupreme Court, for the following interesting- sketch of the early history of theSupreme and Circuit Courts under the constitutions of 1818, 1848 and 1870.The first constitution of the State declared that the judicial power of the State of Illinoisshould be vested iu one Supreme Court and such inferior courts as the General Assemblyshould, from time to time, ordain and establish.The Supreme Court was vested with appellate jurisdiction only, except in cases relatingto the revenue, in cases of mandamus, and such cases of impeachment as might be requiredto be tried before It. It consisted of a chief justice and three associates, though the numberof justices might be increased by the General Assembly, after 1824.The justices of the Supreme Court and the judges of the inferior courts were appointed byjoint ballot of both branches of the General Assembly, and commissioned by the Governor,and held their offices during good behavior, until the end of the first session of the GeneralAssembly which was begun and held after the first day of January, in the year 1824, at whichtime their commissions expired; and until that time the justices of the Supreme Court wererequired to hold the circuit courts in the several counties, in such manner and at such times,and were to have and exercise such jurisdiction, as the General Assembly should, bylaw,prescribe.But after the period mentioned, the justices? of the Supreme Court and the judges of theinferior courts held their offices during good behavior; and the justices of the Supreme Courtwere no longer compelled to hold the circuit courts unless required by law. The State wasaccordingly divided into four judicial circuits, within which the chief justice and associatejustices of the Supreme Court were assigned to perform circuit duties, which they continuedto do until the year 1824.On the 29th of December, 18'/4,an act was passed declaring that, in addition to the justicesof the Supreme Court, there should be appointed by that General Assembly five circuitjudges, who should continue in office during good behavior, and by the same act the Statewas divided into five judicial circuits. Thus, for the first time, the justices of the SupremeCourt were relieved from the performance of circuit duties, which now devolved upon thefive circuit judges.The circuit judges, however, were permitted to remain in office only about two years, as,by the act of 12th January, 1827, those sections of the act of 1824, which provided for the appointmentof five circuit judges, and dividing the State into five judicial circuits, were repealed;and the State was again divided into four judicial circuits, in which the chief justiceand three associate justices were again required to perform circuit dut'.es.The justices of the Supreme Court then continued to hold all the circuit courts until acircuit judge was elected by the General Assembly, in pursuance of the act of Jan. 8, 1829,which declared that there should be elected, by joint ballot of both branches of the GeneralAssembly, at that session, one circuit judge, who should preside in the circuit to which hemight be appointed, north of the Illinois river. A circuit judge was elected in pursuance ofthat act, and at the same time the Fifth judicial circuit was created, in which the circuitjudge was required to preside, the justices of the Supreme Court continuing to perform theirduties in the other four circuits.The circuit courts continued to be thus held until the passage of the act of Jan. 7, 1835, bywhich all laws requiring the justices of the Supreme Court to hold the circuit courts were repealed,and it was provided that there should be elected by the General Assembly, at thatsession, five judges, in addition to the one then authorized by law, who should preside inthe several circuit courts then or thereafter required to be held in the several counties in theState. The five additional circuit judges were accordingly elected, and at the same sessionthe Sixth judicial circuit was created. The justices of the Supreme Court were thus againrelieved from the performance of circuit duties, which, for the second time in the judicialhistory of the State, devolved upon the circuit judges exclusively.The judiciary remained unchanged until 1841, the number of judicial circuits and of circuitjudges being Increased from time to time, as the business of the courts required. The

JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT. 75Seventh judicial circuit was created by the act of Feb. 4, 1837, an'd an additional circuit judgewas elected; and by the act of Feb. 23, 1839, the Eighth and Ninth circuits were created, andprovision made for the election of two additional judges, which was done.The judiciary of the State was reorganized by the act of Feb. 10, 1841, which repealed allformer laws authorizing the election of circuit judges, or establishing the circuit courts, thusagain legislating out of office all the circuit judges in the State. The act then provided Unitthere should be appointed, by joint ballot of both branches of the General Assembly, at thatsession, five additional associate justices of the Supreme Court, who, in connection with thechief justice and the three associates then in office, should constitute the Supreme Court ofthe State. The State was at the same time divided into nine judicial circuits, and the chiefjustice and eight associate justices were required to perform circuit duties in those circuits;the circuit courts being again created at the same session. The judiciary as thus organizedcontinued until the entire system was changed by the constitution of 1848.CONSTITUTION OF 1848.It has been seen that under the constitution of 1818, the Supreme Court was the only courtcreated by that instrument, and the circuit courts had no existence except by legislative enactment;but upon organizing the judiciary as it existed under the constitution of 1848, tliecircuit courts constituted a part of the judicial system as created by the new constitution itbeing declared in that instrument that the judicial power of the State shall be vested In oneSupreme Court, in circuit courts, In county courts and in justices of the peace, and the GeneralAssembly is authorized to establish Inferior local courts of civil and criminal jurisdiction,in the cities of the State, but such courts must have uniform organization and jurisdictionin such cities.The Supreme Court consisted of three judges. The State was divided into three granddivisions, the people In each division electing one of said judges, for the term of nine years;though after the first election of judges under the constitution, the General Assembly couldprovide by law for their election by the whole State, or by divisions, as they might deemmost expedient; but no change in that resj ect was made, and the judges of the SupremeCourt continue to be elected by divisions, as provided in the constitution.These three grand divisions were established by the new constitution, but after the takingof each census by the State they might be altered, if necessary, to equalize them in population,the alteration being required to be made by adding to either of the districts such adjacentcounties as would make them nearest equal In population. Appeals and writs of errorcould be taken from the circuit court of any county to the Supreme Court, held in the divisionwhich included such county; or with the consent of all parties In the cause, to the SupremeCourt in the next adjoining division.It is provided in the constitution, that the State should be divided Into nine Judicial circuits,but the General Assembly might increase the number to meet the future exigencies ofthe State. The number of circuits was afterwards increased from time to time, as the businessof the courts required, so that there were thirty judicial circuits in the State, in all, createdunder the constitution of 1848. In each of the nine circuits the constitution requiredthat one circuit judge should be elected by the people thereof, who should hold his office forthe term of six years, and until his successor should be commissioned and qualified.The first election for justices of the Supreme Court and judges of the circuit courts underthe constitution, was required to be held on the first Monday of September, 1848, and it wasfurther provided, that on the first Monday of June, 1855, and every sixth year thereafter, anelection should be held for judges of the circuit courts; and whenever an additional circuitwas created, such provision should be made as to hold the second election of such additionaljudge at the regular elections provided in the constitution. All vacancies, either in theSupreme or circuit courts, must be filled by an election by the people, though If the unexpiredterm did not exceed one year, such vacancy might be filled by executive appointment.It was required that there should be two or more terms of the circuit court held annuallyin each county in the State, at such times as might be provided by law, and the circuit courtsto have jurisdiction in all cases at law and in equity, and in all cases of appeal from allInferior courts.Those were the constitutional provisions as to the organization and jurisdiction of thecircuit courts as they existed under the constitution of 1848 the schedule to the constitutionof 1848 further declaring, that the judges of the circuit courts should have and exercise thepowers and jurisdiction conferred upon the former judges of those courts, subject to the provisionsof this constitution.CONSTITUTION OF 1870.The constitution of 1870 vested the judicial powers in one Supreme Court, circuit courts,

76 JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT.county courts, justices of the peace, police magistrates, and such courts as may be createdby law, in and for cities and incorporated towns.The Supreme Court consists of seven judges, and has original jurisdiction, similar to thatgranted by the constitution of 1848. There Is one chief justice, selected by the court; fourjudges constitute a quorum, and the concurrence of four judges is necessary to a decision.The three grand divisions established by the constitution of 1848 for holding the SupremeCourt are retained in the present constitution. The terms of the court, the judicial divisionsand places of holding court are regulated by law.The State, for the election of supreme judges, is divided, by the constitution, Into sevendistricts, one judge being elected from each district. The election occurs on the first Mondayin .June, hi each year, in such districts, as the terms of any of the judges may expire.The term of office is nine years.Appeals and writs of error may be taken to the Supreme Court held In the grand divisionin which the case is decided, or, by consent of parties, to any other grand division. The officersof the Supreme Court, as fixed by the constitution, are: one reporter of its decisions,who is appointed by the court, holds office six years, and is subject to removal by the court ;one clerk in each of the three grand divisions, to be elected by the voters in their respectivedivisions, and hold office six years.APPELLATE COURTS.The constitution also provided for the creation of Appellate Courts, after the year 1874, ofuniform organization and jurisdiction, in districts created for that purpose, to which suchappeals and writs of error, as the General Assembly may provide, may be prosecuted fromcircuit and other courts, and from which appeals and writs of error may lie to the SupremeCourt, in all criminal cases, and cases in which a franchise, or freehold, or the validity of astatute is involved, and in such other cases as may be provided by law. Such AppellateCourts to be held by such number of judges of the circuit courts, and in such times andplaces, and in such manner, as might be provided by law; but no judge shall sit in reviewupon cases decided by him, nor shall said judges receive any additional compensation forsuch services.Under the above provisions of the constitution, the legislature, In 1877, created fourAppellate Courts, and provided districts as follows : the first to consist of the county of Cook ;the second to include all of the Northern grand division of the Supreme Court except thecounty of Cook ;the third to consist of the Central grand division of the Supreme Court, andthe fourth the Southern grand division of the Supreme Court. Each court to bo held bythree of the judges of the circuit court, to be assigned by the Supreme Court, three to eachdistrict, for the term of three years, at each assignment.Two terms of the Appellate Court are held in each district, in every year. One presidingjustice Is chosen in each district by the judges thereof, for such time and in such manner asthey may_determine. Two judges constitute a quorum, and the concurrence of two is necessaryto a decision. Clerks of the Appellate Court are elected, one for each district, and holdoffice six years.The Appellate Courts have appellate jurisdiction only, and have jurisdiction of all mattersof appeal or writs of error from the final judgments, orders or decrees of any of thecircuit courts, or the Superior Court of Cook county, or from the city courts, in any suit orproceeding at law, or in chancery, other than criminal cases, and cases involving a franchiseor freehold, or the validity of a statute. Appeals and writs of error lie from the finalorders, judgments or decrees of the circuit or city courts, and from the Superior Court ofCook county, diiectly to the Supreme Court, In all criminal cases, and in cases involving afranchise or freehold, or the validity of a statute. In all cases determined in the AppellateCourts, in actions, ex-contractu (except those involving a penalty), wherein the amount involvedis less than $1,000, exclusive of costs, and in all cases sounding in damages, whereinthe judgment of the court below is less than $1,000 exclusive of costs, and the judgment isaflirmed or otherwise finally disposed of in the Appellate Court, the judgment, order or decreeof the Appellate Court shall be final, and no appeal shall lie or writ of error be prosecutedtherefrom. In all other cases, appeals shall lie and writs of error may be prosecutedfrom the final judgments, orders or decrees of the Appellate Courts to the Supreme Court.A majority of the judges of the Appellate Court may, however, if they be of the opinion thatany case decided by them, involving a less sum than $1,000, also involves questions of law ofsuch importance, either on account of principal or collateral interests, as that it should bepassed upon by the Supreme Court, in such cases, grant appeals and writs of error to theSupreme Court, on petition of parties to the cause, in which case they shall certify to theSupreme Court the grounds upon which the appeal is granted.The law establishing the Appellate Courts went into effect July 1, 1877, the election of cir-

JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT.cult judges took place in August, and the first assignment of Appellate judges was made bythe Supreme Court at the September term, In the same year. These are substantially theconstitutional and statutory provisions as to the organization and jurisdiction of the AppellateCourts.CIRCUIT COURTS.Thejconstitution provides that the circuit courts shall have original jurisdiction of allcauses In law and equity, and such appellate jurisdiction as is or may be provided by law,and shall hold two or more terms each year in every county. The judges are elected by districts,and hold office six years.Section 13 of the judiciary article of the constitution provides that the State, exclusive ofCook and other counties having a population of 100,000, shall be divided into judicial circuits,to be formed of contiguous counties, and not over one circuit for each 100,000 population;one judge to be elected for each circuit. The first election for circuit judges was required tobe held on the first Monday in June, 1873, and every six years thereafter.The legislature, in 1873, In accordance with above section, divided the State, exclusive ofCook county, into twenty-six judicial circuits, and at the election In June,1873,one judge waselected for each circuit, for the term of six years.Section 15 provides that the General Assembly may divide the State into judicial circuitsof greater population and territory, in lieu of the circuits provided for in section i:i,and providefor the election therein, severally, by the electors thereof, by general ticket, of not exceedingfour judges, who shall hold the circuit courtsjin the circuit forwhi^ch they shall beelected, in such manner as may be provided by law.The legislature, in 1877, in order to increase the number of circuit judges, and to providefor the organization of the appellate courts, divided the State into thirteen districts, andprovided for the election of one additional judge in each district, in August, 1877, for twoyears, making three judges in each district and thirty-nine in the State. The election tookplace Jn August accordingly, and in September following the Supreme Court assigned twelveof the circuit judges to appellate duty, and the remaining judges held the circuit courts intheir respective districts.In June, 1879, three judges were elected in each of the thirteen judicial circuits, as createdby the act of 1877. A second assignment was made by the Supreme Court, of circuit judgesfor appellate duty, at the June term, 1879, and the remaining judges perform circuit duty inthe districts for which they were respectively elected.COURTS OP COOK COUNTY.The constitution of 1870 recognizes Cook county as a unit in the judiciary system of theState, by providing that the Supreme Court may hold one or more sessions eac-h year in thecity of Chicago, whenever suitable rooms are provided, without expense to the State; andalso constitutes the county of Cook one judicial circuit, and cxcepts the county in the districtingof the State by the legislature into circuits.The circuit court of Cook county is made to consist of five judges, until their number shallbe increased as provided by the constitution. The constitution provides that the GeneralAssembly may increase the number of judges by adding one for every additional 50,000 inhabitantsin the county over and above a population of 400,000. The term of office of thejudges of the Cook county circuit court is also six years.The Superior Court of Chicago, established by law, 1849, formerly the Cook County Courtof Common Pleas, was continued by the constitution, and called the Superior Court of CookCou ty. The constitution provides for an increase of judges of the Superior Court the sameas the circuit court of Cook county.By an act of 1875, it is provided that for every 50,000 inhabitants over and above 400, 000 inCook county, there shall be added one judge, until the court shall bo composed of ninejudges. It is also made the duty of the Governor, whenever he shall ascertain from thecensus that the county of Cook is entitled to one or more additional judges, to issue a writ ofelection therefor, for the number to which the county is entitled.Accordingly, it appearing by the United States census of 1880 that the population of thecounty of Cook exceeded 400, 000, an election was ordered to be held for four additional judgesof the Superior Court of Cook county, at the November election, 1880, and the court watiincreased by that number in accordance with the statute of 1875.The above comprises a concise history of the State courts; and a comprehensive thoughbrief outline of the judicial system of the State from its organization to the present time.

Theoperators declined to arbitrate. Gov.Gill's selection as a member of theBoard of Arbitration seems peculiarlyappropriate. He was born nearMarion, 111., Feb. 17, 1862, and graduatedfrom the Southern Normal andAnn Arbor Law School. He boughtand published for several years theMurphysboro "Independent," sellingit when he became lieutenant-governor.He is married and has one son.Note Owing to ill health, Gov. Gillwas compelled to resign his place onthe board, and go to California in May,'97.

Theprisoner soon found himself surroundedby temperate, gentlemanly guardsand officers. He awoke to the realizationthat he was not only a human beingbut a man. Good conduct securedfor him opportunities for reform andprivileges, and bad conduct broughthim face to face with prompt, severe,but humane punishment. Fourteenyears of able management placed WardenMcClaughry among the expert scientificprison men of the nation, andmade Joliet prison famous as a modelmodern institution. In '88 he resignedto accept a call to Pennsylvania,Ayhere he organized and placed upon afirm foundation, the PennsylvaniaState Industrial Reformatory. Thehealth of his family requiring a changeto a dryer climate, he resigned solelyon this account, intending to accept aposition at the head of the famous AlleghenyCounty Workhouse near Pittsburgh.The news of his intendedchange reached the ears of Mayor-electWashburne, when, in May, '91, the callto the superintendency of the Chicagopolice department came unsolicitedfrom that gentleman.

Inpolitics there is no more energetic orastute worker in the state, and no manstands higher in the estimation of themen who lead the republican party ofIllinois.

Thepublisher will consider it a favor if any reader will notify him of errorsthat he may discover, so that succeeding- editions may be corrected.Were it possible, a complete "Blue Book" would be incorporated inthis volume, but the recent changfe in administration and the manyresignations and discharg-es in state offices, as well as state institutions,are a bar to a "Blue Book" of value. The edition two years hence itis expected will contain the names, salaries and addresses of every officerand employe of Illinois on the first day of January, 1899.Compiler and Publisher.

168 STATISTICS REGARDING STATE INSTITUTIONS.STATISTICS REGARDING STATE INSTITUTIONS.The following tables from the biennial report of the Board of PublicCharities, shows the ordinary expenses of each institution for each fiscalyear since the year 1875; the net cost to the State of Illinois; the averagenumber of inmates during each year, and the per capita rate per annum, grossand net. The date of closing the fiscal year has been changed twice duringthe past eighteen years. Before 1875 the fiscal year closed on the 30th ofNovember, but, in 1875, it closed on the 1st of October, so that the expensesfor 1875 cover only ten calendar months. Since 1888 the fiscal year has closedon the 1st of July, so that the expenses for that year cover only nine calendarmonths. In calculating the rate per capita, however, these changes havebeen taken into account, and the rate is stated at the figure which it wouldhave reached if the fiscal year had consisted of twelve full months. The factthat the three months taken off from the fiscal year 1888 were those in whichthe educational institutions have a vacation tended to increase the averagenumber of inmates for that particular year, and correspondingly to diminishthe per capita cost. This applies to the Institutions for the Deaf and Dumband for the Blind, the Asylum for Feeble- Minded Children and the Soldiers'Orphans' Home.An examination of the tables will satisfy an attentive reader that therehas been, on the whole, a decided and steady improvement in the financialmanagement of the State institutions.NORTHERN HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE, ELGIN.YEAR.
