Anniversary of the Supreme Court Observed in New York
A New York observance marked the 100th anniversary of the United States Supreme Court at the Metropolitan Opera House with ex President Cleveland presiding. Speakers traced the court’s origin, jurisdiction, and personnel, while the Lenox Lyceum banquet featured toasts to the President and to the Court, the Congress, the Bar, and other civic pillars. The narrative recounts Washington's 1790 organization, the early tumult of the bench, and the court's evolution to its present composition and life tenure with salaries set at 10,000 annually.

Power of the Supreme Court in American governance
The passage argues the Supreme Court has gradually expanded federal power by constraining states, annulling state laws, and sometimes overruling rights. It cites decisions from 1820 onward, noting shifts in constitutional interpretation and the balance among Congress, the presidency, and the Court. It calls the Court a powerful, sometimes controversial, force in shaping national government.
